Are you an LGBTQIA+ individual feeling “down”, anxious, or stressed? Finding it difficult to get through the day?
Are you experiencing mental health challenges, and feel that an expert ear and advice could make all the difference?
Are you seeking to transition and need a letter for HRT?
According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, LGBTQIA+ individuals have triple the risk of developing a mental health disorder, and LGBTQIA+ youth are at four times as likely to attempt suicide. The 2017 KFF Disparities Policy report also found that LGBTQIA+ individuals experience higher levels of sexual and physical violence and substance abuse.
The stakes are high.
