Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and related issues Lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgendered (LGBT) individuals and their families may seek therapy for a variety of reasons. Some who experience depressive or anxiety symptoms, relationship issues, or difficult life transitions not directly related to their sexual orientation may feel more comfortable working with an LGBT-friendly psychotherapist. Others may have specific LGBT issues such as self-acceptance, starting a family, or coming out to family members or other important people in their lives. Psychotherapists who are knowledgeable and sensitive to these issues can play an important role in supporting LGBT clients in addressing their concerns. |
