Supporting LGBTQ+ Clients with Minority Stress

Minority stress is the extra layer of stress that comes from living in a society where your identity is often misunderstood, marginalized, or stigmatized. For LGBTQ+ individuals, this can mean facing discrimination, prejudice, internalized stigma, and the ongoing effort to navigate spaces that may not always feel safe or welcoming. These pressures can impact your mental health, relationships, and overall well-being.

In therapy, I provide a safe, affirming space to explore the unique challenges of minority stress and its impact on your life. Together, we’ll work to build resilience, develop healthy coping strategies, and strengthen your sense of self-worth amid these external pressures. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, or feelings of isolation related to your identity, I’m here to support you in reclaiming your power, finding community, and living authentically.

You don’t have to carry the weight of minority stress alone—therapy can be a place to heal, grow, and thrive as your true self.
