If you're part of the LGBTQIA+ community and looking for a therapist, you already know that finding the *right* fit matters. You want someone who not only understands the nuances of gender and sexuality—but also someone you feel safe opening up to. At Clarity, we proudly offer affirming therapy for individuals, couples, and polycules of all identities and orientations.
Our team includes therapists with specific training and deep experience in supporting LGBTQIA+ clients through individual therapy, couples counseling, sex and intimacy therapy, and more. Whether you're navigating identity, relationships, trauma, anxiety, or any other life challenge, we’re here for you—without judgment, assumptions, or pressure to explain who you are.
How to Find a Good Fit
Even with so many therapists out there, it can feel overwhelming to figure out where to start. For LGBTQIA+ clients especially, compatibility and emotional safety aren’t optional—they’re essential. You deserve a therapist who respects your lived experience and holds space for your full identity.
Here are a few things to consider as you search:
- Does this therapist—or their practice—mention LGBTQIA+ identities explicitly on their website?
- Do they offer services like sex therapy or relationship counseling for non-traditional partnerships?
- Do they seem comfortable discussing topics like gender, sexuality, pronouns, kink, or polyamory without awkwardness or avoidance?
You might also consider asking directly about a therapist’s training, values, or approach to LGBTQIA+ care during a consultation call. Pay attention to how you *feel* during the interaction—if you notice a sense of ease, curiosity, and validation, that’s a good sign you’re in the right place.
