Our Therapy Approaches:
Affirmative Therapy:
We want to validate and affirm your gender or sexual orientation rather than trying to change or “fix” it.
We work together to accept and embrace your identity, build your self-esteem, and develop healthy coping strategies to improve your overall mental health.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT):
At Wilmington Mental Health, we address negative thinking patterns and behaviors that may stem from internalized stigma or experiences of discrimination.
We work together to help you identify and challenge negative thoughts, create healthy coping mechanisms, build self-compassion, practice relaxation techniques, and build self-esteem.
