Counseling for LGBTQIA+ Individuals & Couples
Find your voice and speak loudly. Don’t let society define who you “should” be. It is possible to be the person you were always meant to be. You are here for a reason. You deserve to find your purpose, freedom, love, peace, and happiness!
The LGBTQIA+ community has made great strides to gain its voice, rights, and freedom. However, that has not come without significant effort and pushback. Unfortunately, homophobia and transphobia continue to exist in today’s world. But as we attempt to take that “higher road” and accommodate our lives to society’s constructions, those messages remain with us subconsciously. They stay stuck in our minds and souls. We often internalize them as truths, which hurts our self-esteem, leaving us feeling down or anxious without understanding why.
Many of us change our words and behaviors to make it easier for others to accept us or say what they’d like to hear, falling into expected “patterns” so that others love us. And by doing that… we often fail to love ourselves. If you identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, non-binary, and questioning/queer and are looking for support from an LGBTQ therapist, you’ve come to the right place!
Roseland Psychotherapy Associates’ LGBTQ counseling team in Roseland, Livingston, and Short Hills provides a safe, supportive, and empowering place for you to explore your identity, face the effects of any discrimination (whether intentional or not) you may have been exposed to, and find your authentic self, free of internalized self-judgment. When you are ready to take the next step, we encourage you to contact us for either an in-person appointment or take advantage of our telehealth services, where you can speak with one of our highly-trained counseling teams remotely via our HIPAA-compliant video or teleconferencing platforms from anywhere.
