Therapy works best with someone you trust. For LGBTQ+ people, that usually means someone who won't need you to explain your life first.
Where to look
- Your insurer's directory, filtered for LGBTQ+ experience.
- Therapist directories that let you filter by specialty and identity.
- LGBTQ+ community health centers in each of our cities.
Questions for a first call
- Are you licensed in my state?
- How much of your practice is LGBTQ+ clients?
- Do you have experience with what I'm dealing with (body image, eating, substance use, relationships)?
- What does a session cost, and do you take my insurance?
It's allowed to be a bad fit
You can switch. A good therapist will understand.
If you're in crisis right now, call or text 988, any time.
