Mental Health for LGBTQ People

It's not uncommon for members of the LGBTQ community to experience mental health issues and to have difficulty accessing healthcare compared to their straight peers. The issues most affecting them are:

  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Substance use disorder
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
  • Eating disorders
  • Suicide

Our LGBTQ Affirming Providers are trained, culturally competent specialists dedicated to ensuring all patients receive timely, proper, empathetic and effective treatment.
