Why Affirmative Therapy Services are Important for the LGBTQ+ Community?
Research studies have indicated that individuals within the LGBTQ+ community face unique challenges, such as rejection from families of origin, discrimination in spaces they work, live or visit, threats to their safety and violence. These difficulties, some of which are pervasive, increase the LGBTQ+ community’s risk for mental health conditions such as low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, phobias, PTSD and low self-esteem. Unfortunately, traditional models of therapy fails to demonstrate sensitivity towards LGBTQ+ identity issues, and therefore continues to operate from a place of stereotypes and contributes the stigmatization of the LGBTQ+ community .
