Meet Our LGBTQ+ Specialists In Lakeview Near You
LGBTQ+ is a group, or community, of people who identify and believe in the freedom of sexual identity and gender equality. The acronym LGBTQ+ specifically stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (or queer). Individuals who identify as being a part of the LGBTQ+ community often struggle with public acceptance and perceived judgments by others due to their choices. Because of this, members of the LGBTQ+ community may deal with difficult feelings and emotions such as isolation, loneliness, depression, and social anxiety which may cause poor behavior choices like addiction, sleep issues, and eating disorders. Seeking professional support to help cope with both emotions and behaviors is important for secure and safe mental health.
