LGBTQ youth are still struggling with sexual feelings and emotions in our schools, homes and communities.

• LGBT youth ages 14-21 were significantly more likely to report depression and anxiety than heterosexual peers
• Multiple studies show that LGBT youth are more likely to attempt suicide
• Rates of suicide attempt among LGB youth are 20 – 40% higher than among heterosexual youth
• One study showed that 33% of all transgender youth have attempted suicide

Counseling is a process in which a nonjudgmental, caring, and trained therapist helps a person arrive at effective solutions to challenges or obstacles. At Transitions Therapy our mission is to provide a welcoming, safe environment where issues of sexual orientation and gender identity can be explored and discussed freely without judgment. We support the notion that helping involves facilitating an individual’s self-exploration, self-understanding, self-acceptance, and self-esteem.
