LGBTQ stands for lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, transgendered and questioning issues.  People who are lesbian, gay, bi-sexual and transgendered can face many hurtles in life.  They are a minority living in a majority population.  LGBTQ people comprise 10% of the population.

Issues they face include discovering they are LGBTQ, the coming out process, formulating an identity, fear of rejection by friends and family, prejudice in housing and employment, and physical danger.  Therapy for this population is largely supportive and educational in nature  If other conditions are present, like depression or anxiety, they are also treated by therapy and sometimes medication.

LMA does not practice unethical therapies such as conversion therapy (American Psychological Association Ethical Principles and Code of Conduct) that tries to "make" a person heterosexual.  Can you imagine trying to "make" someone who is heterosexual gay?  The notion is quite absurd and has proven ineffective.  At LMA, people who are LGBTQ are treated with respect and dignity.
