About
Gender and sexuality are often conflated with sexual orientation, but the concept of sexuality is much broader. Your sexuality encompasses your sexual preferences and history, gender identification, body image and the subtle ways in which your culture, religion, family, age, and biology have shaped your sexual views and expression.
Everyone varies in their level of openness when it comes to discussing their sexuality. That’s where our counselors come in: we’ve seen it all before and we’re not stuck on somebody else’s definition of “normal”—but we are devoted to helping you unstick “stuck” sexual dilemmas. Gender and sexuality counseling can help you articulate the social norms with which you have been conditioned, reassess societal messages, restructure “should” statements, and explore facets of yourself that are authentically you.
Signs and Symptoms
- questions of identity
- religious considerations
- family acceptance
- person acceptance
- peer pressure
- stigma and discrimination
How does Lifeologie help?
Discuss your concerns with our intake specialists.
When you reach out to a Lifeologie, you’ll be connected with one of our Intake Specialists. In a “call center?” No way. Our specialists are each located in their local Lifeologie office and know the counselors well. Their entire job is to learn about you and what you’re looking for and to match you with the counselor who will be the very best fit for your needs and preferences.
Find a counselor that is passionate about helping you reach your mental health goals.
Our counselors are literally the cream of the crop. We get hundreds of applications every year to intern and work at our offices. Lifeologists are counselors, life coaches and overall wellness advocates who are experts and specialists in their craft. At the intern level, they have set themselves apart as incredible learners and collaborators, chasing after the highest-level trainings in the field. From EMDR to nutrition coaching to brain spotting and addiction specialists, we have you covered. Once you enter a Lifeologie office, you’ll find that we’ve carefully curated the environment to feel modern, comfortable and inviting. Counseling at Lifeologie is not your typical counseling experience – in any way.
Receive continuous support and guidance as you go on your mental health journey.
Your counselor at Lifeologie will meet you wherever you are, whether you’re just starting in counseling for the first time ever… or returning to a life-long counseling journey after a brief break. Your Lifeologist will partner with you to meet your goals. As you learn and grow, we can help you focus on overall wellness through mindfulness practices such as Psychotherapeutic Yoga or mindful eating. Wherever you are, we can come alongside and help you move forward!
