Cook Counseling and Consulting Inc.
Counselor/Therapist, LISW-S, LCSW-QS, CCTP
LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) issues therapy, also known as LGBT-affirmative therapy or LGBTQ+ counseling, provides LGBT community members with support and understanding tailored to their unique experiences and difficulties. LGBT-affirmative treatment seeks to create a secure and welcoming environment where clients can explore their identities, resolve concerns about their sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression, and work toward greater self-acceptance and well-being.
Therapists who provide LGBT-affirmative therapy know the potential effects of heteronormativity, cisnormativity, and other forms of prejudice on their clients. They endeavor to foster an accepting, affirming, and nonjudgmental environment of diverse gender and sexual identities.
Not all therapists have specialized training or experience working with LGBT issues. If you are looking for LGBT-affirming therapy, it is recommended that you seek out therapists who advertise their expertise in this area or inquire about their experience with LGBT clients during the initial consultation.
Overall, LGBT-affirmative therapy aims to assist LGBT individuals in navigating their unique challenges, developing resilience, and fostering positive mental health and well-being in a secure and affirming therapeutic environment.

Catherine Bitney
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
As a queer, nonbinary individual, I have a soft spot for the LGBTQ++ community and about half my clients identify as sexual or gender diverse. As a university professor, I enjoy working within a professional setting to show students that you can be accepted, celebrated, successful, etc. as a queer and gender nonconforming professional.
