Therapy for Gender and Sexual Identity Issues
Although a person’s sexual or romantic orientation or gender identity may not be a source of distress, people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, asexual, experiencing gender fluidity, or any other orientation or gender identity may find that the social stigma of living as a minority is a source of stress or anxiety.
