Project Healthy Minds: Why LGBTQIA+ Therapy Matters

For this piece, I discussed the importance of finding an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist (someone who creates a safe, knowledgeable, and validating space where clients don’t have to educate their provider or hide parts of themselves). I explained what affirming therapy means in practice, how it supports more effective treatment, and shared tips on what to ask during a consult, as well as red flags to watch out for when seeking care.
