Today we are sharing a statement from the American Psychological Association regarding the recent Supreme Court ruling allowing conversion therapy to be framed as protected free speech.
As mental health professionals, we are guided by research, ethics, and a deep commitment to the wellbeing and dignity of every person we serve. Decades of psychological science have shown that conversion therapy is harmful and associated with increased risk of depression, anxiety, and suicidality among LGBTQ+ individuals.
Our practice stands firmly in support of the LGBTQ+ community. We believe therapy should be a space of safety, affirmation, and authenticity — not shame or coercion. Every person deserves care that honors who they are and supports their right to live openly and fully.
We remain committed to providing inclusive, affirming, evidence-based care and to advocating for practices that protect mental health, human dignity, and belonging for all.
You are welcome here. Always. 🏳️🌈
