LGBTQIA+-specific mental health care results in better outcomes for teen and young adult clients.

Teen & young adult LGBTQIA+ therapy

Charlie Health offers LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy to teens and young adults. Research shows that community members are more likely to suffer from mental health issues like depression, self-harm, and suicidal thoughts. Charlie Health is an industry leader in identity-affirming care that works to achieve equitable outcomes for LGBTQIA+ youth.

In addition to providing teens and young adults with support, Charlie Health also helps parents navigate their relationships and learn how to be an advocate for their children. From keeping an open dialogue to expressing your love, we have resources to guide you through the journey.
