LGTBQ is an initialism that stands for lesbian, gay, transgender, bisexual, queer or questioning. Coming out can be an uneasy and emotional process that can cause severe anxiety, fear and depression which can be detrimental to one’s well-being. Many don’t have the support of their family or friends which can make them feel abandoned.

Counseling can be a safe way to help the person come to terms about their sexuality or orientation. It will allow them to process their fears, feelings of acceptance of their identity and help build their self-esteem that will give them the armor to live proudly in society.
