Mental health concerns affect many people, yet LGBTQ+ individuals often face additional pressures such as stigma, discrimination and social exclusion that heighten their risk for anxiety, depression, substance use and suicidal thoughts. Strengthening support through family acceptance, peer-led groups and inclusive community spaces builds connection and resilience, while training clinicians in affirming practices and expanding access to safe resources helps promote well-being across the LGBTQ+ spectrum.

EMDR therapy uses bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements or tapping, to help individuals process traumatic memories that remain “stuck” in the nervous system, offering a structured, evidence-based approach that can be combined with talk therapy or used on its own. Treatment begins with a thorough assessment and progresses through adaptive phases that foster resilience and lasting symptom relief. Know more at https://www.michaelpezzullo.com/emdr

What is LGBTQ+: Identity and Inclusion




LGBTQ+ stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer (or Questioning), and other identities that do not fit into these categories, such as non-binary, asexual, pansexual, and intersex individuals. It is an umbrella term used to recognize the diversity of sexual orientations and gender identities. The LGBTQ+ community advocates for equal rights, acceptance, and support, particularly in areas like mental health, legal protections, and social inclusion.
