LGBTQIA+ Counseling to Help You Embrace Your Self-Identity

We Celebrate, Respect, and Affirm the Pride Community

All are welcome here at Let All Thrive. We not only accept the broad spectrum of human differences and uniqueness; we celebrate it! However, we understand that those in the Pride community often face adversity, and tend to suffer from mental health disorders at a higher rate as a result. Our LGBTQIA+ counseling professionals invite you to share your story with one of our clinicians, and together, we’ll find a way forward. Come thrive with us.

“People cling to these firm ideas (about gender) because it makes people feel safe. But if we could just celebrate all the wonderful complexities of people, the world would be such a better place.”

— Elliot Page

Mental Health Issues Common for Those in the Pride Community

It’s no secret: The Pride community struggles with mental health disorders at much higher rates than the general population.

Compared to cisgender individuals, transgender individuals are nearly four times as likely to experience mental health issues.
LGB adults are over twice as likely to experience mental health disorders.
Youths in the Pride community are more than twice as likely to experience sadness and hopelessness, and transgender youths are more than twice as likely to seriously consider and attempt suicide.

Why the disparity? Often, new or worsening mental health symptoms are due to family rejection, societal rejection, hate-based harassment, prejudice, and discrimination, as well as the denial of civil and human rights. Furthermore, intersecting socioeconomic and racial identities can heighten the issues.

If you are experiencing thoughts of suicide or self-harm, you can get immediate, safe, confidential support 24/7/365 from an LGBTQIA+-affirming crisis counselor at The Trevor Project. Call (1-866-488-7386), chat, or text (‘START’ to 678-678).
