LGBTQ+

At TheraThrive we specialize in neurodivergence, including those who are exploring their gender and/or sexuality, and those who identify with the LGBTQ+ community. TheraThrive is a safe space, and our team is LGBTQIA+, queer, transgender, and Kink affirming and allied.

Our therapists consider gender and sexuality as aspects of our identities, and we view these aspects from a non-judgmental and caring lens. We will support you in gaining self-understanding.

 

Questioning

Questioning parts of identity is common, and we are here to help you manage any changes as they come up. We understand the connections between romantic feelings, gender and sexuality, and we offer support through the process of learning about who you are and finding your authentic self.

We have worked with, and are educated on, a variety of identities—including, yet not limited to, the following:

Sexual Identities

Gay and Lesbian Identified
Bisexual
Asexual
Pansexual
Straight
Curious
Questioning

Gender Spectrum

Trans-Identified
Agender
Gender Fluid
Gender Queer
Cis-gender Identified
Intersex
Two-Spirit
Questioning

Do I need therapy if I identify on the LGBTQ+ spectrum?

We do not believe that those who identify as LGBTQ+ need therapy. We think that counseling and therapeutic support can be beneficial for many people. We work to help you learn about yourself more deeply. We are therapists who work to support our clients with managing mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, sleep challenges, trauma, communication and relationships, and so forth. We are here for those who want support and a safe space.
