LGBT Issues therapists in Colorado Springs, Colorado CO
Dr. James C. "Jay" Martin
Marriage and Family Therapist, D.Min., LMFT, AAMFT-S, CT, CFS, CEAP
I have dealt with family members and patients and clients who struggled with the discovery, clarification, response to, management of, and the coming out process as LGBTQ persons. I have also worked with persons who have experienced the negative impact of a predominantly heterosexual culture, such as rejection by family members, faith communities, coworkers, employers, and businesses; developing healthy spousal relationships without healthy models, finding needed social support without harassment or exclusion, overcoming legal and financial barriers to attain recognition & treatment in different settings equal to heterosexuals, etc.

MonuMental Therapy Group PLLC
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA LMFT
We love to work with this population. I find they feel "judged" a lot in their daily lives if they are out. However, this does not need to define them as a person, and one can live a healthy fulfilled life regardless of what others think or say.

Jennifer Fuller James
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Mountain View Counseling, LLC
There is a place for people of all sexual orientations in my practice. The work around gender identity varies depending where in the process an individual is. It could be focused on exploration, personal acceptance, coming out to family or friends, dealing with stereotypes and/or discrimination as well as relationship issues with a partner.

Dr. Erick David Arguello
Psychologist, PsyD
As a member and ally of the community myself, I understand the unique challenges and experiences faced by LGBTQ+ individuals. Whether you're navigating issues related to coming out, identity exploration, relationship dynamics, or mental health concerns, I offer a safe and understanding space to explore these topics openly and authentically.

Dr. Wayne Bullock
Psychologist, PsyD, MEd
Identifying within a minority group creates a host of stresses, along with all of the other challenges of life. I have significant experience working with LGBTQ persons and understand the aggressions, micro and otherwise, that face these communities. I also understand the pressures that can arise from internalized messages from a heteronormative society. You deserve a space where you can unpack all of your feelings about these, as well as construct your narrative of who you are and where you want to be in life.
