LGBTQIA+-affirming therapy is an approach where your provider respects and supports your identity as a foundation of care. You do not need to explain or justify who you are. For some people, identity, coming out, or navigating family dynamics may be central to sessions. For others, the focus may be on anxiety, stress, relationships, or other concerns — with the assurance that your provider understands your experiences. Affirming providers often use evidence-based approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or other methods tailored to your goals.

Your first session is typically a conversation where your provider gets to know you, your goals, and what kind of support you're looking for. You can share as much or as little as you're comfortable with. Many providers on Headway offer a free phone consultation before your first session, so you can ask questions and see if the provider feels like a good match — with no charge unless you decide to continue care.
