LGBTQ Counseling in Alpharetta, GA

For individuals identifying as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning, or queer (LGBTQ), finding support while building and maintaining relationships can present unique challenges. Despite cultural shifts towards greater inclusivity, discrimination and marginalization still exist, leading to feelings of being “othered.” This stigma often results in increased instances of anxiety, depression, addiction, and relational difficulties within the LGBTQ community.

Our Services

Our LGBTQ counseling services include support for various issues, such as:

  • Anxiety and depression
  • Addiction and substance abuse
  • Relational difficulties
  • Identity exploration and affirmation
  • Coping with discrimination and stigma
