Counseling for Manassas’s LGBTQ Community–Counselors and Therapists
The life coaches, counselors, and therapists at Thriveworks Manassas know that when people admit their truth to themselves and live their truth in their lives, their world often changes for the better. Admitting who you are emotionally, spiritually, physically, and sexually takes courage, and we are here to support you in your journey. Thriveworks Manassas offers LGBTQ informed therapy that is focused upon self-discover, acceptance, and safety. Our therapists and counselors are here for you.
LGBTQ Therapy: What Could It Look Like?
The therapists at Thriveworks Manassas may ask exploratory questions and give their clients the opportunity to share about their experiences. For example, a therapy session may survey:
- What in your life is exciting now?
- How is your living situation?
- If you could, is there anything you would want to change about your life?
- Where do you want to be in a year? Five years? A decade?
- What brought you to the decision to meet with a counselor?
Counseling often involves self-discovery—learning about one’s own weaknesses and strengths, opportunities and challenges. People often discover or clarify what exactly they want from life, and they may implement practical steps to achieve their goals. For example, many people learn what they want from a romantic relationship and how to pass up unhealthy partners and pursue people with whom they connect well. Others learn how to hold to their truth while allowing their family and friends into their story.
The therapist’s job is often to make a space for you that is judgment-free and safe. Everyone needs a place where they can process life events and challenges without shame, and many find that counseling is that safe place where they can open up.
Topics that may arise in LGBTQ counseling:
- “Coming out” issues
- Dealing with discrimination and non-acceptance
- Family concerns
- Healthy communication
- Self-esteem issues
- Depression
- Transcending gender roles
- Gender and sexual identity
- Dating and other relationships
- Eating disorders
- Addiction
- Anxiety and stress
- Past trauma and abuse
