🌈 LGBTQIA+ Affirming Therapy
At Argyle Therapy we believe everyone deserves therapy that sees them, honors them, and supports them. Whether you identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual or another identity on the spectrum (LGBTQIA+), you are welcome here — and you are valid. Your sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression are not issues to be “fixed.” You aren’t broken. You aren’t “less than”. We are queer-affirming therapists (some of us queer-identified ourselves) and trained in providing culturally competent, trauma-informed, and sex-positive therapy.
Privacy & Safety
We know that queer folks often carry a layered history of discrimination, invisibility, rejection and fear. Your safety and privacy matters deeply to us.
In our work together, you can expect a space defined by:
- Respect for your name, pronouns, identity and history
- A trauma-informed lens that acknowledges minority stress, stigma and systemic oppression
- Clear boundaries, confidentiality, and a non-judgmental stance
- An awareness of the political environment many LGBTQIA+ people face — and how it shows up in daily life
Queer Families & Relationship Diversity
Families for queer people look different—and that’s a strength. You might be building a family through birth, adoption, fostering, surrogacy, co-parenting, or chosen-family networks.
Topics we explore with queer-families include:
- Navigating disclosure, blended families, and custody challenges
- Parenting roles and identity shifts (“I’m a queer parent now, how does that change how I see myself?”)
- Dealing with external stigma (schools, social systems, extended family) and internal dynamics (partner roles, identity across generations)
- Celebrating non-traditional structure with intentionality and joy
In therapy with queer families, we focus on connection, communication, boundaries, resilience and pleasure—rather than fitting you into a heteronormative mold.
💞 LGBTQIA+ Dating & Intimacy
Dating and intimacy in queer spaces can be both liberating and complicated. You deserve relationships that feel emotionally safe, sexually fulfilling, and true to your values.
You may be navigating:
- Coming out (again) in dating, or being “out” with new people
- Gender-identity and sexual-orientation questions (“I’m still figuring this out”)
- Polyamory, open relationships, non-monogamy, kink or other consensual relationship structures
- Intimacy issues: desire, arousal, shame, body-image, pleasure in queer contexts
- Intersectional forces: race, class, disability, faith, immigration or trans identity
We create a space where you can talk openly about sex, love, and identity — without shame or judgment. Together, we’ll work toward relationships that feel honest, empowered, and aligned with who you truly are.
Taking a stance
In South Florida and elsewhere, budgets for community-based programs supporting queer and trans mental health are being slashed. Local LGBTQIA+ organizations continue to report major reductions in state and federal grants, forcing them to shrink or eliminate vital services.
At Argyle Therapy Group we step in where systems fall short — offering affirming, safe, private practice care that refuses to be silenced. Our political action is our presence: showing up, being loud, and unapologetic about queer and trans wellness and resilience.
