LGBTQ+ Friendly and Affirming

LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapy

LGBTQ+ affirming therapy is more than being kind and welcoming to clients of diverse identities. Affirming therapists validate clients’ experiences and allow them to feel a sense of belonging and shared understanding in the therapy process. We strive for clients to feel safe enough to disclose their identities, discomforts, and fears. Clients can expect providers to be open-minded, accepting and supportive, and also not to assume all issues are related to a client's sexuality or gender. 

All of us at Central Iowa Psychological Services strive to provide a safe place that is welcoming to people of every race, faith, ethnicity, gender identification, and sexual orientation. People come in all shapes and sizes and we value and honor that you choose how to live your life and that you know what is best for your family.
