Gay Ridge

Historically, LGBT2SQIA+ couples and families have been excluded from the image of relationships, family, and marriage.  This leaves our community to look within ourselves for help when it comes to addressing queer issues, raising queer families, navigating relational issues, and identity/sexuality challenges that our non LGBT2SQIA+ counterparts face. We are LGBT affirming therapists providing LGBT Therapy in Smithtown NY.

Areas we can work on together in LGBT Therapy in Smithtown NY:

-Needing help finding community

-Coming out (yourself or your partner)

-Starting to date or currently dating

-Having a past or current history of unsupportive family members, friends, or loved ones

-Needing support along your gender and/or sexuality journey

-A change in one’s identity/sexuality

-Leaving or having experienced gay conversion therapy

Signs that indicate it’s a good time to reach out for help:

• Feeling alone and misunderstood
• Feeling overwhelmed and stressed
• Feeling unsure and anxious about what to do
• Feeling increasingly agitated and angry
• Feeling frustrated and cornered
• Feeling unsafe and isolated
• Feeling depressed and like you’re unable to move-It Gets Better-

Where to start?

Together we will look at where you are in your journey and map out your areas of strength.  We will aim to build relationships that support your values and messages of positive self-worth and find answers that support your therapeutic goals, whether individually or as a couple.

As an LGBT therapist in Smithtown NY, we understand the ongoing stressors and fear of rejection the community faces continually.  We are committed to helping clients of all genders, sexual identities, and expressions. All of our therapists are LGBTQIA affirming.
