Exploring and coming to terms with our sexual and gender identity is an essential part of developing a healthy self-image however not everyone has been afforded the opportunity to express who they truly are inside. Three Waves Psychotherapy acknowledges the unique barriers, as well as multiple strengths, of the LGBTQ+ community, and seeks to provide a safe space to address the mental, behavioral, and spiritual aftereffects of discrimination, invalidation, and trauma.

 

By working with a trained and diversity affirming therapist, clients who identify as LGBTQ+ can gain a deeper appreciation of themselves, feel seen as well as heard, and build a supportive social network where their authenticity is celebrated.
