Honolulu Psychologists Providing Counseling to the LGBTIQA+ Community
 
Being queer isn't always easy. The LGBTIQA+ community encompasses a diverse spectrum of identities, including Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex, Queer/Questioning, Asexual, and beyond.
 
For many, the coming out process is, or was, the biggest hurdle, while for others it's been all that followed. Managing work and lifestyle choices, maintaining important relationship and intimacy issues, creating health families, dealing with injuries from discrimination or marginalization, are just some of the many important issues to navigate in life.
 
At GoVa Counseling, we believe that every individual deserves a safe and supportive space to explore their needs. Many of our clients with the LGBTIQA+ community are looking for couples and marital counseling, are concerned about how to navigate open relationships, or are not sure how to handle relationship conflicts, self-esteem issues and challenges with anxiety and depression. Many times past trauma impacts our ability to function adaptively in our daily lives.
 
At GoVa Counseling, we are a caring team of psychologists who strive to create a supportive and compassionate space for people to feel safe and explore their needs, whatever those may be. Our therapists understand the complexities of LGBTIQA+ identities and the unique challenges that come with it.
 
As therapists we recognize that the path to healing and self-acceptance can often feel daunting, but that's doesn't mean you have to walk it alone. Our psychologists are dedicated to providing a space where you can express yourself freely, without judgment, and use therapy as a powerful tool to heal, growth, and build the life you've always wanted for yourself.
 
No matter what our circumstances, or who we are, becoming aware of our own needs and feelings and feeling safe to explore them is a very important factor to our well- being. We should never fear losing an important relationship in our efforts to be true to ourselves. So whether that involves unraveling complex feelings with a significant other or family member, working through trust and intimacy issues, or going after something important in our lives, we must recognize our inherent need to be happy and the importance of making space for ourselves and our loved ones in our lives. As LGBTIQA+ friendly therapists can help you establish roles and boundaries with others, find a way to get your partner to listen, or develop tools to strengthen your relationships. No matter what the endeavor, we're here to support you every step of the way.
 
At GoVa Counseling we believe that everyone deserves to feel understood, supported, and celebrated for who they are and experience compassionate and supportive counseling, regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation, religion, or ethnicity. We genuinely want to take care of you like family! So if you, or someone you know, is looking for a safe space to explore LGBTIQA+ issues, we invite you to reach out to us at GoVa Counseling. Together, we can work toward fostering a deeper understanding of your identity and experiences, helping you to heal and grow in a way that feels authentic and empowering. Contact us today, and let's begin this important journey toward mental wellness and self-acceptance together!
