LGBTQ counseling is a specialized form of therapy designed to help individuals and couples who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer, or are simply questioning that identity. It focuses on the specific issues and challenges that members of the LGBTQ community face in their daily lives.
LGBTQ counseling provides a safe space where individuals can talk openly about their feelings without fear of judgment or stigma. This can be particularly important for those who have faced rejection or invalidation from others in the past.
LGBTQ counseling provides a safe space for individuals who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer/questioning to address their mental health issues.
Partnering with a licensed LGBTQ counselor provides individuals with access to specialized expertise and compassionate guidance through potentially difficult times. It helps foster resilience so clients can better cope with life’s challenges while promoting personal growth at the same time.
We work exclusively with licensed LGBTQ counselors. For a therapist to become a licensed LGBTQ counselor, they would need to hold a degree in counseling, clinical psychology, or social work. The graduate program should have included courses that specifically focused on LGBTQ issues and affirmative therapy for this community.
Our platform can offer intermediate access to mental health care providers in your state. Access to in-person LGBTQ therapy can vary greatly depending on the state you live in. While some states have a range of options for LGBTQ individuals seeking counseling services, others have very limited resources available.
We can connect you with professional counselors who provide their services online. Some people struggling with gender identity issues or coming out may prefer virtual sessions to discuss their mental health conditions in a private setting. Online counseling can be especially beneficial for those who live in areas where there are limited resources or access to LGBTQ-affirming therapists.
Online LGBTQ counseling provides a safe and anonymous space where individuals can express themselves freely without fear of judgment or discrimination. Confidentiality is crucial when it comes to discussing sensitive topics such as sexual orientation, gender identity, and mental health issues.

LGBTQ Therapy Space is a platform launched by LGBTQ folks determined to help gay, lesbian, and bisexual people, as well as queer and trans folks, find the help they need and make their voice heard – under the shield of anonymity if they so desire.
We know how hard it is to open up about mental health struggles, especially when we’re talking about homosexuality, bisexuality, and gender transition.
Our therapists have experience in LGBTQ-related mental health struggles and can provide personalized mental health treatment according to your specific needs.
The purpose of our LGBTQ platform is to provide a safe and inclusive space for individuals and couples who identify as part of the LGBTQ community. Our aim is to match LGBTQ therapists with clients to help them access counseling services tailored specifically to their unique needs and experiences.
Our platform is committed to matching LGBTQ clients with therapists who are not just qualified, but also sensitive to the unique issues and challenges faced by individuals within this community. We select available therapists using parameters such as specialization, experience, certifications, and location. We also take into account factors such as language fluency and cultural sensitivity.
Our therapists have expertise in working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and sexual orientations. They must receive appropriate training in LGBTQ-competent therapy techniques. We expect all our therapists to adhere to ethical guidelines laid down by professional associations such as the American Psychological Association (APA) or the National Association of Social Workers (NASW).
