What Does LGBTQ+ Counseling Look Like?

Our counselors aim to help you work through past and present pains and give you the tools to pursue your future dreams. No one is ever completely sure about who they are, and that’s okay. Who you love is part of who you are and should be part of your counseling experience. LGBTQ+ counseling provides a safe place for you to truly be yourself while facing the challenges ahead.

In a counseling session, we might discuss:

  • Your passions and goals
  • Finding and utilizing your strengths

Thriveworks helped me realize that I do believe people can change. I’m not the person I was three months ago, broken and fearful. I’m healthy and happy and for the first time being kind to myself. Thank you for giving me my life back.
