Mental healthcare for LGBTQIA+

New Direction Psychotherapy is a safe and affirming space that specializes in

psychotherapy for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender, queer, intersexual and asexual

people and welcomes all cultures, ethnicities, sexual orientations, and gender identities.

While belonging to the LGBTQIA+ community can be a source of strength, it also brings unique

challenges. Mental healthcare professionals often group together everyone in the LGBTQIA+

community, which can be problematic as each identity faces its own diverse challenges and

experiences different rates of mental illness.

 At New Direction Psychotherapy, we tailor our therapeutic relationships and approach to each individual and their unique gender identity, expression, orientation and culture. We acknowledge the intersectionality of your personal lived experience and provide therapy and resources that are specialized for you.
