What is LGBTQ+ therapy?
Mental illness is something that can affect us all regardless of sexual orientation, but members of the LGBTQ+ community can face additional and distinct challenges. LGBTQ+ therapy is for anyone who is experiencing issues relating to sexuality, identity, equality or diversity.
