LGBT Therapy in Rhode Island

 


LGBTQ+ Mental Health Issues and Coping with Stigma

Research suggests that LGBTQ individuals seek mental health treatment more often than their non-LGBTQ+ counterparts. This may be due to the stigma and discrimination LGBTQ+ individuals regularly face, from society, family members, peers, co-workers, and even classmates. This discrimination contributes to the higher rates of depression, anxiety, and other mental health struggles among LGBTQ+. Those in the LGBTQ+ community are also much more likely to have a substance abuse problem, engage in self-harm behaviors, and experience suicidal thoughts.

Therapists working from an affirmative approach seek to honor the unique challenges faced by LGBTQ+ individuals and help them navigate the challenges effectively.
