LGBTQ Affirming Therapy in Nashville, TN
Compassionate, nonjudgmental support“I’m having a hard time being understood and accepted by my family.”
“I’m struggling to accept myself, and it’s affecting my relationships.”
“I often feel isolated or disconnected from those around me, and I’m not sure why.”
“I feel like I’m the only one who doesn’t have their shit together.”
As queer folks, it can often seem like life keeps piling on from all directions. It might look like family conflicts that don’t resolve, a series of painful relationships that are starting to look like a pattern, or the struggle to truly be ourselves even in our closest relationships. If that wasn’t already difficult enough, there’s the ongoing stress that comes from simply living in a world that is often openly hostile toward LGBTQ+ individuals.
