LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapy on Long Island – Wantagh, Bellmore, Hempstead, and Beyond

Inclusive and Affirming Therapists on Long Island with Nassau Counseling Services

You deserve more. You deserve to feel like you can be true to yourself. You deserve to let the world know the real you. You deserve to feel your absolute best as you navigate day to day life – free to share your truth, love who and how you love, and know that you deserve happiness.

It can be difficult to navigate personal identity, relationship, mental health, and more on your own when you have an identity that doesn’t meet traditional cishet norms.

At Nassau Counseling Services, we provide specialized, affirming therapy services tailored specifically for LGBTQ+ individuals and their families. Our compassionate therapists support individuals through issues related to identity exploration, acceptance, mental health concerns, and relationship dynamics.

Located in Wantagh on Long Island, we provide both in person and remote affirming care to those that identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, asexual, transgender, queer, or any other identity, and we want you to feel comfortable with a therapist that recognizes what makes you uniquely you. If you’re interested in getting started, call us at (516) 993-5896, or use our online form to connect with our team.

About LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapy at Nassau Counseling Services

LGBTQ+ affirming therapy is a step far beyond LGBTQ+-friendly therapy. It’s a therapy practice designed around not just a willingness to accept who you are, but the act of truly embracing who you are. It integrates aspects of trauma therapy, mindfulness, and other practices, and also includes its own unique elements to help you truly love yourself and your identity.

Our therapists understand the unique emotional and psychological experiences of LGBTQ+ individuals. We address many common issues that affect the community, including:

  • Gender identity and exploration
  • Sexual orientation and acceptance
  • Family relationships and support
  • Anxiety and depression related to identity
  • Bullying or social isolation

We are committed to creating a safe, inclusive environment where clients feel fully heard and respected. Our approach emphasizes personal empowerment, emotional well-being, and developing coping strategies to navigate life with confidence and authenticity.
