LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy services are designed to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental, and inclusive environment where individuals can explore their identity and experience mental health care. These services affirm and validate the experiences of LGBTQIA+ people and aim to create a space that is culturally competent and sensitive to their specific needs. This may include addressing issues related to coming out, gender dysphoria, discrimination, and mental health challenges commonly faced by the LGBTQIA+ community.
