The goal of LGBTQIA+ therapy, sometimes referred to as LGBTQ+ affirmative therapy or queer therapy, is to support and understand people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual, or with any other non-binary or gender diverse identity. The goal of this kind of therapy is to provide a secure and supportive environment where members of the LGBTQIA+ community can explore their identities, work through issues pertaining to their gender identity or sexual orientation, and get help for any mental health issues they may be experiencing.
