Services for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, & Questioning Community

Individuals coping with sexual orientation issues and questions often experience feelings of separation, isolation, and fear. Talking about these feelings in a supportive, culturally sensitive environment helps develop positive self-esteem and strong identity. Professional counseling can ease the difficulties of the coming out process.

SERVICES

One-on-one and group counseling helps members identify and cope with issues such as: children and adults living with HIV/AIDS, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, relationships, medication management and side effects, workplace issues, communication, “coming out,” and grief and loss. Psychiatric evaluation and medication monitoring is available.
