About It's Complicated

In 2019, two therapists set out to tackle a complicated problem.

One does not have to be a therapist to realize that life is complicated. But finding the right therapist, with whom you can build a strong alliance, doesn’t have to be. This is the founding principle of It’s Complicated, a global network of +1500 therapists on a mission to build the world's most sustainable marketplace for therapy.A few years in, we've helped tens of thousands of clients and counting, and built thriving therapy communities in cities such as Berlin, Amsterdam, London, Munich, and Athens as well as online.

Frequently Asked Questions

Learn more about therapists who can help with LGBTQI

What is LGBTQI aware therapy?

LGBTQI aware therapy, also known as LGBTQI affirmative therapy or LGBTQI-inclusive therapy, is a specialised form of counselling or psychotherapy that respects and addresses the unique needs and experiences of individuals who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, or intersex (LGBTQI). Therapists who offer LGBTQI aware therapy undergo training to understand the complexities of gender and sexual diversity and to create a safe and affirming space for clients to explore their identities, navigate challenges, and work towards personal growth and well-being.

 

Effective support for LGBTQI matters

Effective therapeutic support for those who identify as LGBTQI+ involves providing access to therapists who are knowledgeable and affirming of all identities and experiences. These therapists offer a non-judgmental and supportive environment where clients can explore issues such as identity development, coming out, discrimination, relationship dynamics, and mental health concerns. A practitioner offering support in this way may have lived experience as an LGBTQI person, received specific training for LGBTQI-related challenges, and may practice any form of counselling or psychotherapy.

 

Find the right therapist on It’s Complicated

It may take some exploration and open communication with potential therapists to discover the approach and therapist that aligns best with your needs and preferences. Trusting your instincts and being patient with yourself throughout this process can help alleviate some of the overwhelm and lead to a smoother therapeutic journey.
