LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapy in Miami, FL
Are you looking for a therapist who will support and affirm all the parts of your identity? Are you needing support around coming out or navigating family relationships? Are you wanting to explore your identity or sexuality?
A Space That’s More Than Just Non-Judgmental
When working with all individuals, we recognize the importance of knowledgeable therapists who can not only provide effective counseling around issues of stress, depression, trauma, anxiety, and relationships, but who can also tailor counseling to specific issues related to intersectionality, sexuality, or identity when that is what our clients are needing. We also understand the importance of utilizing a non-shaming, sex positive, and identity affirming approach with all clients.
Many of our LGBTQ+ identified clients are looking for a counseling space that is not only safe and non-judgmental, but where they can talk about the specific concerns, joys, experiences, and questions in their lives with a therapist who is knowledgeable and will affirm all parts of who they are during counseling. We care deeply about the needs of LGBTQ+ communities and strive to advocate for those needs in counseling on individual and couples levels with consideration to the unique concerns that may come up.
Why is Affirming Care Important?
In many ways, affirming therapy and care for LGBTQ+ identified individuals look the same as traditional therapy. However, this type of counseling framework takes into account that many of you have not found acceptance or safety in the environments in your lives, sometimes, unfortunately, including therapy. It is necessary for therapy to be an accepting place where you can build a strong and safe connection with your counselor. LGBTQ+ clients benefit most from therapists who provide validation and acceptance through knowledge and queer counseling competence. At Psych Blossom Counseling and Wellness, we are able to provide an LGBTQ+ culturally sensitive and responsive framework in which to process and discuss whatever you are needing to address in therapy.
