My goal in working with Indianapolis Gay, Lesbian, and Bisexual individuals is to help them accept their sexual identity in a safe, accepting environment. This type of therapy is called Gay affirmative therapy. Gay affirmative psychotherapy is a form of psychotherapy for gay and lesbian clients which encourages them to accept their sexual orientation and does not attempt to change them to heterosexual or to eliminate or diminish same-sex desires and behaviors. The American Psychological Association (APA) offers guidelines and materials for gay affirmative psychotherapy. Affirmative psychotherapy states that homosexuality or bisexuality is not a mental illness. In fact, embracing and affirming one’s gay identity can be a key component to recovery from other mental illnesses or substance abuse.
