Psychotherapy is an invaluable tool for LGBTQ-identified people. Affirmative therapy can potentially help young people improve their lives in the short term and over the long term by laying a positive and strong foundation for personal growth.

Dealing with issues from coming out to friends and family, to shame, emotional distress, anxiety, violence, abuse, and sexual problems, GLAP therapists are trained to treat a wide range of mental health issues, and are attuned to the unique problems of the LGBTQ-identified community.

GLAP's Transgender Program is specifically designed to meet the needs of individuals of transgender experience. Issues pertinent to this group may include:

• Support through transitioning
• Considering gender reassignment options
• Gender identity disorder
• Gender-queer/fluid identities
• Body image
• Sex
• Dating & relationships
• The coming out process
• Problems with parents & family
