LGBTQIA+-affirming therapy is an approach where providers acknowledge, respect, and support the identities and experiences of queer and gender-diverse individuals. Affirming providers are knowledgeable about concerns that may uniquely affect LGBTQIA+ people — such as coming out, minority stress, discrimination, and identity exploration — and create a space where your identity is respected rather than questioned. On Headway, providers who specialize in LGBTQIA+ care indicate this in their bios.

Look for providers who describe their experience with LGBTQIA+ individuals in their bio, including the specific concerns they work with and their therapeutic approach. On Headway, you can read detailed provider profiles to understand their background and style. Booking a free phone consultation is another way to ask about their experience and see if you feel comfortable before scheduling a full session.
