Starting LGBTQIA+ counseling in Maumelle

What is LGBTQ+ counseling?

LGBTQIA+ counseling is a type of queer affirmative counseling dedicated to assisting individuals and couples in navigating the intricate intersections of their sexual orientation, gender identity, and mental health, with a primary goal of fostering well-being, self-acceptance, and affirming a client’s life experiences as a queer individual. Although not all LGBTQ+ individuals seek specialized counseling, a substantial number discover vital support and empathy within these inclusive and affirming therapeutic settings.

How does LGBTQ+ counseling work?

Thriveworks LGBTQ+ counseling in Maumelle, AR typically begins with an initial assessment to understand your specific needs. LGBTQ+ counselors aim to create a safe, inclusive, and affirming environment for anyone within the LGBTQ+ community by encouraging self-acceptance and offering an understanding of your identity and experiences. LGBTQ+ therapy addresses issues like coming out, discrimination, mental health challenges, and gender transition, and provides support for LGBTQ+ relationships.

Why is LGBTQ+ counseling important?

LGBTQ+ counseling is incredibly important because it can help queer individuals accept their identity, learn self-love, and give them important tools for facing the challenges of being a queer person in today’s society, among many other benefits. LGBTQ+-affirming therapists can understand the unique perspective and experiences of queer individuals as they help them process past trauma, address family conflicts, treat issues with anxiety, and more.

Is LGBTQ+ counseling conducted in person or online?

Thriveworks LGBTQ+ counseling in Maumelle, AR is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How long does LGBTQ+ counseling last?

The number of sessions for LGBTQ+ counseling depends on the specific needs and goals of the individual. It could encompass a relatively limited series of sessions or extend into a longer counseling plan. The precise quantity and duration of sessions typically emerge through collaborative discussion with the counselor, taking into account the client’s progress and their therapeutic objectives.

Informed Therapists—Counselors for the LGBTQ Community in Maumelle, AR (North Little Rock)

Marginalization and discrimination demands a high cost. The toll they take on an individual’s mental health is unacceptable, but the challenge goes even deeper. Many LGBTQ individuals have difficulty finding accepting and understanding mental health care because therapists are like the general population: some are understanding and includes while others are not.

Thriveworks North Little Rock offers accepting and understanding therapy to our clients who are a part of the LGBTQ community. Our therapists understand the unique challenges they have, and we offer personalized care. Reach out today to get started.

The Double Stigma

Much to its embarrassment, the mental health profession labeled homosexuality as a pathology until the 1970s. Even though the official definition has changed, cultural attitudes among therapists have lagged behind. Those within the LGBTQ community may understandably be skeptical of mental health care professionals. This is what many within the LGBTQ community and the mental health community call the double stigma: those who need mental health care the most may have a more difficult time finding the therapy they need.

Many, however, are working hard to close the gap between the need for and the access to quality mental health care. Therapists and leaders within the LGBTQ community are raising awareness. Thriveworks Maumelle aims to be a part of this positive movement. We offer sensitive and informed mental health care that accounts for unique needs that those in the LGBTQ community have.

Sensitive and Affirmative Therapy

Thriveworks Maumelle offers personalized and holistic care. Each individual has unique experiences, strengths, weaknesses, traumas, opportunities, desires, quirks, and more. Our therapists also know that whatever their clients are facing, they need a safe space. Everyone needs a place where they can be themselves. Living your truth and experiencing acceptance is powerful. Everyone needs to be able to name their reality and be affirmed in their truth. While therapists do not force an agenda for any client, certain themes often naturally arise within therapy for LGBTQ clients. For example, when they feel safe and trust has been established with their therapist, clients often work through issues such as…

  • How and when to come out
  • Depression
  • Dealing with discrimination and non-acceptance
  • Healthy communication
  • Dating and other relationships
  • Addiction
  • Gender and sexual identity
  • Transcending gender roles
  • Anxiety and stress
  • Eating disorders
  • Family concerns
  • Self-esteem issues
  • Past trauma and abuse
  • Safety concerns
