LGBTQ-Affirming Therapy: Warrenville, IL and Online

Welcome, S & J Wellness PLLC understands the collective trauma that has encompassed LGBTQ+ people throughout the years. Our therapists are LGBTQ+ affirming and experienced, some are part of the community themselves.

Social norms, oppressive policies and laws, discrimination in society and sometimes within your own family or friend group can feel overwhelming and is a traumatic experience. 

counseling with an affirming therapist is important and can lead to healing if you feel understood, respected, and safe. Maybe you just want a therapist who understands, we can help with that too, as some of our therapists are part of the LGBTQIA+ community.

How can therapy help you? 

Therapy is a safe place to begin to process trauma, discrimination, internalized homophobia, distress, and the journey of coming out and questioning. LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy can also be a safe place to process external, societal stressors. S & J Wellness offers LGBTQ+ affirming therapy for individuals, couples, and families. 

No matter what stage of your journey you are in, you have come to the right place for therapy. It is important to find an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist who can help you accomplish your therapy goals. Some of the specific issues we work with are:

LGBTQ+ Couple's Therapy in an affirming environment

LGBTQ+ family therapy 

Religious Trauma

PTSD and trauma therapy

Anxiety and Depression

Neurodivergence, and much more. 

BIPOC LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapy

Finding a therapist who is affirming of both LGBTQ+ and BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) identities can have significant positive benefits for mental health. A culturally responsive and affirming therapist understands unique experiences, and can validate and understand specific traumas and stressors associated with marginalized identities such as racism, transphobia, and homophobia. Benefits of LGBTQ+ and culturally responsive therapy include a more positive therapy experience, empowerment, increased self-esteem, and increased use of effective coping strategies. S & J Wellness PLLC is a niche therapy practice that specializes in culturally responsive therapy and we are LGBTQ+ affirming.
