LGBTQ+‑affirming therapy is an approach that recognizes and celebrates LGBTQ+ identities as valid and natural, while also addressing the unique stressors and systemic issues queer individuals may face (such as minority stress, internalized stigma, or discrimination). 

At Modern Insight Therapy, LGBTQ+‑affirming care means:

• Your sexual orientation and/or gender identity will be welcomed and honored

• We’ll explore how societal, cultural, or familial pressures affect your mental health

• Therapy will never try to “change” or “correct” your identity

• We’ll collaborate with you to build resilience, self‑acceptance, and a stronger sense of belonging

In short, LGBTQ+‑affirming therapy at Modern Insight Therapy helps you heal—on your own terms, as your true self.

An LGBTQ+ therapist is a mental health professional who either identifies as LGBTQ+ or has specialized training and experience working with LGBTQ+ clients. They are committed to providing affirming, inclusive care that recognizes and respects sexual orientation, gender identity, and the cultural contexts of queer lives. 

At Modern Insight Therapy, our LGBTQ+‑affirming therapists bring both clinical expertise and cultural humility, offering a space where you can explore your identity, relationships, and emotions without judgment.

Finding an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist means looking for someone who not only supports queer identities, but who deeply understands the nuances of LGBTQIA+ relationships. At Modern Insight Therapy, we’re proud to have clinicians like Pedro Segura-Moore, who specializes in working with queer individuals and couples in an affirming, culturally competent way. Pedro creates a safe space where all parts of your identity are respected and welcomed.

There’s no one-size‑fits‑all “best” therapy model—but the most effective approach for LGBTQ+ clients is one that is identity‑affirming, culturally aware, and trauma‑informed. At Modern Insight Therapy, we prioritize therapists who:

• Understand the unique stressors that LGBTQ+ individuals face (such as stigma, discrimination, or coming‑out issues)

• Use models like CBT, DBT, narrative therapy, or trauma‑informed care and adapt them through an identity‑affirming lens

• Create a safe space where your identity is respected, your language is honored, and you don’t have to explain or defend who you are

At Modern Insight Therapy, we tailor the therapeutic approach to your goals, identity, and lived experience—so you’re seen, heard, and supported.
