We are also mindful of the profound impact of minority stress, which arises from social stigma, discrimination, and rejection. This chronic stress can take a toll on mental health, often compounding feelings of anxiety, depression, or isolation.
At Zephyr Psychological Services, we offer LGBTQ-affirming therapy that helps you build resilience and self-acceptance, addressing issues such as coming out, gender dysphoria, or internalized stigma. Our goal is to equip you with the tools to manage life’s challenges while fostering a sense of pride in your authentic self, empowering you to live more confidently and fully.
