I totally understand the struggle of finding the right therapist. Here are some resources that have helped me:
- Psychology Today has filters for LGBTQ+ specialization and you can see therapist profiles
- The Trevor Project has a list of affirming mental health providers
- PFLAG often has local support groups, even in smaller areas
- My local LGBTQ+ center offers sliding scale therapy - might be worth checking if there's one in your region
I actually tried Pride Counseling for a few months and had a positive experience. The matching process was good and my therapist was knowledgeable about queer issues.
Taking care of your mental health is so important. Proud of you for reaching out! ?
