Queer Therapy

Queer individuals have unique struggles and need a therapist and psychiatrist who is sensitive and knowledgeable to their issues. Being different in our society is its own isolated trauma. Knowing you are different can create separations from those around you. For many, LGBTQ+ individuals experience this feeling of differentness starting as early as youth. During this developmentally sensitive time, these feelings can increase the likelihood of developing many long term mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other forms of interpersonal trauma. As such, LGBTQ+ individuals usually need greater quality mental health treatment than the rest of the general population in order to live their best selves and lives. At Integrative Psych, in New York, LGBTQ+ individuals seeking mental health support can benefit from therapists and psychiatrists who specialize in addressing the unique challenges and traumas experienced by the queer community, helping to enhance their overall well-being and quality of life.
