You wake up anxious. You’re unfulfilled! You try and push through the day, but you’re paralyzed by negative self-talk. “This is a waste of time,” rings in your ears. You continue to put everyone and everything else first. “Why?” you ask. Each day you wonder, “Will I ever be happy? Will I ever have the relationship I want?” Your inner voice harshly reminds you, “Those things are not for you. This is all you’ll ever get.” You’ve played it ‘safe’ all your life, but now you’re worried that you’re running out of time. You know you’re capable of more if you could only get past your own worst enemy – You. website: erinruelltherapy.com

The last fight you had with your partner was very different. Things took an ugly turn, and you said things you never expected to say to each other. Now you’re not sure how to recover. It feels like you’ve hit a fork in the road. It wasn’t always like this. You remember talking long into the night, sharing your vulnerabilities. Only now, you have them thrown back in your face when the arguing starts. The little digs and insults have created a chasm of hurt between you that feels uncrossable. Last night’s fight was awful, and you never want to go there again. There’s still love between you, but you need help.

LGBTQ+ Therapists
Do LGBTQ-affirmative therapists receive special training?
Yes. Many therapists who practice LGBTQ-affirmative therapy have completed specialized training, either during their degree program or as continuing education, to learn the core principles of affirmative therapy and how to best support their LGBTQ clients; some have received certifications in LGBTQ-affirmative therapy. Prospective clients should inquire as to a clinician’s background and training to ensure a good fit.
Why might I want to see an LGBTQ-affirming or LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
Queer and gender-non-conforming individuals frequently experience bias and marginalization in day-to-day life. Working with a therapist who understands these unique challenges, as well as accepts and affirms their identity, can help LGBTQ clients feel safe and supported during therapy—allowing them to better navigate their relationships, mental health, and anything else that they wish to explore during therapy. It is important to note that many therapists can be effective in their work with LGBTQ+ individuals, even in the absence of specific training or background knowledge. The most important component in therapy is the alliance between therapist and client, and this alliance can exist between individuals with very different backgrounds.
How can I find an LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
You may wish to inquire about a therapist’s expertise with your specific challenges or concerns—depression, for example, or relationship strife—as well as their past experiences treating LGBTQ+ clients. Prospective clients may also ask whether a therapist has obtained additional training and/or certification in LGBTQ-affirmative techniques.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience with LGBTQ issues?
Prospective clients should feel empowered to directly ask therapists whether they have received training or been certified in LGBTQ-affirming therapy; competent therapists will be happy to explain their educational background and preferred approach(es) to help a client find the best match for them. Clients may also wish to ask how a therapist has treated clients with their particular challenges in the past and what they expect treatment to look like.
Are all the therapists listed in the LGBTQ directory themselves members of the LGBTQ community?
While therapists may choose to disclose their sexual orientation or gender identity in their profiles, the LGBTQ directory features not only those who have shared this information but also those who assert specialized training or experience in providing support to queer individuals, couples or families.
