Cook Counseling and Consulting Inc.
Counselor/Therapist, LISW-S, LCSW-QS, CCTP
LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) issues therapy, also known as LGBT-affirmative therapy or LGBTQ+ counseling, provides LGBT community members with support and understanding tailored to their unique experiences and difficulties. LGBT-affirmative treatment seeks to create a secure and welcoming environment where clients can explore their identities, resolve concerns about their sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression, and work toward greater self-acceptance and well-being.
Therapists who provide LGBT-affirmative therapy know the potential effects of heteronormativity, cisnormativity, and other forms of prejudice on their clients. They endeavor to foster an accepting, affirming, and nonjudgmental environment of diverse gender and sexual identities.
Not all therapists have specialized training or experience working with LGBT issues. If you are looking for LGBT-affirming therapy, it is recommended that you seek out therapists who advertise their expertise in this area or inquire about their experience with LGBT clients during the initial consultation.
Overall, LGBT-affirmative therapy aims to assist LGBT individuals in navigating their unique challenges, developing resilience, and fostering positive mental health and well-being in a secure and affirming therapeutic environment.

Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychotherapist, Psychoanalyst
As a queer therapist, I believe in creating a safe and affirming space where individuals can explore their identity, navigate societal pressures, and address mental health concerns within a relational and psychoanalytic framework. My approach emphasizes the importance of understanding the complex interplay between individual experiences, relationships, and societal expectations.
By exploring the unconscious dynamics that shape our identities and relationships, we can gain a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by individuals in the LGBTQ+ community. This may involve examining themes of internalized homophobia, family dynamics, and societal discrimination. Through this process, individuals can develop a stronger sense of self, build healthier relationships, and live more authentic lives.
