The Factors That Impact LGBTQ Mental Health Treatment

  • How being LGBTQ is connected to depression, anxiety, and addiction … and how it is not
  • How developmental trauma affects identity development
  • Particular traumas:
    • Bullying
    • Bashing
    • Institutional Oppression
    • Conversion Treatment History
  • Family mirroring and acceptance
  • Religious and cultural barriers
  • Sexual health and wellness
  • Alcohol and substance use

Help Clients at Each Phase of LGBTQ Identify Development

  • Phase 1: Pre-Coming Out
    • Denial about sexual orientation or gender
    • When sexual behavior doesn’t match sexual identity
    • Differentiate between feelings, behavior, and identity
    • The importance of continued sexual health assessment and education
  • Phase 2: Comparison and Consideration
    • When clients start to think they might be LGBTQ (or at least different)
    • Client cues that are openings to explore further
    • Questions to elicit more open discussion
    • How to inquire without pushing beyond client readiness
  • Phase 3: Tolerance and Exploration
    • When clients are exploring sexuality and gender but have not claimed an identity
    • Use different models of sexuality and gender with clients
    • Track for integration: Is this helpful for the client?
    • Address shame and internalized homophobia/transphobia
    • Identify educational resources
  • Phase 4: Acceptance
    • When clients start to integrate their sexual and gender identity into the world
    • Connect clients with community support
    • Facilitate grief for lost time and lost dreams
    • Develop a coming-out plan and process
    • Start talking about gender transition
    • Tools to navigate the conflicting worlds of family, identity, and cultures
  • Phase 5: Pride
    • Address client rage about oppression and past injuries (even when it’s directed toward you)
    • Support clients in celebrating their “adolescence”: validation and safety
    • Attend to the particular challenges of bisexuals
  • Phase 6: Synthesis and Integration
    • When being LGBTQ is hardly an issue for the client
    • Effectively integrate LGBTQ history and knowledge into the clinical session
