LGBTQ+ & Identity Difficulties Therapy in Manhattan
As your therapist I will provide you with a place for your to discuss your needs in a way you will feel comfortable.
The most fundamental aspect of a persons experience and being able to relate to others is there sexual identity, as a lack of self understanding has consequences related to a persons self esteem and emotional well being.
Clients who struggle with self acceptance may struggle with pressures from a combined sources such as family, traditional or religious communities.
Many clients struggle who do struggle with their experience may have internalized it in a negative and self destructive manner causing distress, depression and thoughts of suicide.
For some clients the road to self acceptance and disclosure has never been difficult. However they may want to participate in therapy and seek assistance with unrelated difficulties and issues, such as relationship problems, assertiveness, anxiety, changes in mood and trauma.
