Inclusive Therapy Group Expands LGBTQ+ Affirming Mental Health Services

Wilton Manors, FL

Inclusive Therapy Group, a telehealth agency specializing in LGBTQIA+, polyamorous, and kink-affirming mental health care, is proud to announce its expansion into more states nationwide, now serving clients in California (CA), Colorado (CO), Florida (FL), Georgia (GA), Illinois (IL), Massachusetts (MA), Maine (ME), New York (NY), Ohio (OH), Oregon (OR), Pennsylvania (PA), South Carolina (SC), Tennessee (TN), Texas (TX), Virginia (VA), and Vermont (VT). This significant expansion dramatically increases access to affirming, culturally competent mental health care for the LGBTQ+, polyamorous, and kink communities, addressing critical disparities in mental health support.

The expansion comes at a crucial time when LGBTQ+ individuals continue to face disproportionate mental health challenges due to stigma, discrimination, and lack of access to specialized care. Research consistently shows higher rates of depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders among LGBTQ+ populations compared to their cisgender heterosexual peers, often exacerbated by minority stress. Transgender and nonbinary youth, in particular, face alarming rates of suicidal ideation and attempts, highlighting an urgent need for accessible, affirming services.

Specialized Care for Diverse Needs

As part of its commitment to offering accessible and affirming care, Inclusive Therapy Group provides both individual and relationship/couple therapy options tailored to the unique needs of diverse communities. In addition to general therapy services, the practice is pleased to highlight the availability of specialized modalities, including:

• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): A proven trauma-focused therapy that helps clients process distressing memories and reduce emotional distress.

• Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP): A listening-based, polyvagal-informed intervention designed to help regulate the nervous system, reduce stress, and improve emotional resilience.

“Our goal has always been to break down barriers to affirming care,” said Cub Larkin, Clinical Director of Inclusive Therapy Group. “By expanding our reach and offering therapies like EMDR and the Safe and Sound Protocol, we’re making sure that members of the LGBTQIA+, kink, and polyamorous communities have access to evidence-based care that understands and affirms who they are.”

Inclusive Therapy Group offers a network of therapists trained in LGBTQ+ affirming practices, cultural humility, and trauma-informed care. The expansion leverages telehealth solutions to overcome geographic isolation, offering a confidential and safe space for individuals to explore their identities and address mental health concerns.

Key Aspects of Inclusive Therapy Group’s Services:

• Nationwide Reach: Services are now available in 17 states, with plans for further expansion.

• Affirming Care: Therapists are dedicated to validating diverse sexual orientations and gender identities.

• Cultural Competence: A deep understanding of LGBTQ+ histories, norms, and stressors informs treatment.

• Telehealth Accessibility: Secure online platforms remove barriers related to location and community exposure.

• Specialized Modalities: Expertise in EMDR, Safe & Sound Protocol, and other evidence-based therapies.

• Intersectionality Focus: Recognition and integration of how overlapping identities (race, disability, etc.) impact mental health.

The organization is committed not only to providing direct client services but also to advocating for policy reforms that improve access to mental health care for marginalized communities. This includes supporting legislative changes that ensure telehealth parity, prohibit discrimination in healthcare, and empower minors to seek mental health support.
