It is Not Our Differences that Divide Us.
It is Our Inability to Recognize, Accept, and Celebrate Those Differences.

HEALING IN THE LGBTQIA+ COMMUNITY
​
​
The LGBTQIA+ community experiences higher rates of depression and anxiety. It is vitally important for members of the LGBTQIA+ community to feel accepted in their mental health care. We do our best to use people’s chosen pronouns and names and honor all identities and lifestyles.
