LGBTQ Concerns

 

As part of my clinical training I worked at New Leaf Services, which is a former non-profit community agency that served the needs of the Bay Area's LGBTQ community. Since then, I have continued to work closely with LGBTQ populations at various universities and in private practice.  Some of the unique issues and complications associated with identifying as LGBTQ include:

 

  • Struggles with the intersection of religion and sexual/gender identity 

  • Unsupportive families/communities

  • Dating / Relationship issues

  • Aging

  • Bullying

  • Issues related to infidelity and/or polyamory

  • Homophobia and racism

  • Gay parenting (including trying to have a child)

  • Shame and guilt

  • HIV/AIDS

  • Questioning sexuality and/or gender

  • Coming out
