Work HistoryShame is a near universal experience for LGBTQ people. Working with a LGBTQ therapist is a profound way to heal from shame. I founded the Gay Therapy Center in 2015 because I knew from my own experience that it can be especially healing and powerful to work with a therapist who shares part of your own LGBTQ identity. Knowing that your therapist has lived parts of your experience helps you to build a strong, trusting relationship in therapy. We’ve become the largest private provider of LGBTQ-affirmative therapy with offices in San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, Washington, DC, and worldwide via video conferencing. All of our therapists are LGBTQ people, and licensed with an average of 10 years of experience. But just because a therapist is LGBTQ doesn’t mean that they are the right therapist for you. That’s why we personally meet with you by phone to learn more about you to determine who is your best match. Whether you’re struggling with self-worth, anxiety, depression, isolation, or intimacy issues, we’re here to help you live the life you want. We also offer relationship counseling to help you & your partner grow stronger, rekindle the love between you, or work through relationship struggles. Visit us online at www.thegaytherapycenter.com.
