LGBTQIA+ therapy, also known as LGBTQIA+-affirmative therapy or queer-affirmative therapy, is a therapeutic approach that specifically focuses on the mental health needs and experiences of individuals who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual, and other diverse sexual orientations, gender identities, and gender expressions within the LGBTQIA+ community.  LGBTQIA+ therapy is designed to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space for clients to explore their identities, experiences, and concerns. It acknowledges and affirms the unique challenges and discrimination that LGBTQIA+ individuals may face, including societal stigma, prejudice, and discrimination.
