LGBTQIA2S+ Resource Center
Wherever you're reaching this from, there's support closer than it might feel right now. This page pulls together the national databases doing this work well already: organized so you can move from "I need help right now" to "I need a longer-term resource" to "I want to know my state's specific legal landscape," without having to hunt.

If You Need Support Right Now
National Directories
These organizations maintain living, actively-updated databases: far more current than any static list I could keep up by hand. Each lets you search or select by state directly.
- OutCare Health: Community Resource DirectoryThe most comprehensive resource I've found: primary care, mental health, youth groups, shelters, support groups, and legal aid, organized by state. Select your state from the list.
- OutCare Health: OutList Provider DirectorySearch specifically for LGBTQ+ affirming healthcare providers near you.
- CenterLink: LGBTQ Community Center DirectoryFind your nearest LGBTQ+ community center; filter by state, city, or ZIP.
- Human Rights Campaign: Healthcare Equality IndexSearch evaluated, LGBTQ+-inclusive healthcare facilities nationwide.
- Lambda Legal Help DeskFree legal information and referrals on discrimination, family law, and identity documents.
- PFLAG Chapter FinderConnect with a local chapter for family and ally support.
- Movement Advancement Project: Equality MapsTracks 50+ LGBTQ-related laws and policies by state; useful if you want to understand your state's current legal landscape before you need it.
- TrevorSpace: LGBTQ+ Youth CommunityA moderated, affirming online community for LGBTQ+ young people ages 13–24. A place to connect with peers and find community. It is not a crisis line.
- Trevor Support Center: LGBTQ+ Education & GuidesThe Trevor Project's library of guides, articles, and educational resources on LGBTQ+ identity, mental health, coming out, family rejection, and more. Written for young people and the adults who support them.
- Trevor Project: Annual National Survey on LGBTQ+ Youth Mental HealthThe most comprehensive annual survey of LGBTQ+ youth mental health in the US. Essential reading for parents, educators, clinicians, and anyone who wants to understand what young people are actually experiencing.
- Glisten (formerly GLSEN): Safe Schools & Student ResourcesResources for LGBTQ+ students: how to start a GSA, your legal rights at school, how to report harassment, and how to find support. Glisten also publishes the National School Climate Survey.
- It Gets Better ProjectVideo stories from LGBTQ+ adults around the world sharing their experiences and the lives they built. Particularly meaningful for young people who can't yet see a future that includes them.
- True Colors United: LGBTQ+ Youth HomelessnessFocused specifically on LGBTQ+ youth homelessness: shelter directories, advocacy resources, and support for young people who have been rejected by their families.
- Trans Youth Equality FoundationEducation, advocacy, and support for transgender and gender-expansive youth and their families. Includes resources for parents navigating a child's transition.
Your State's Legal Snapshot
I'm licensed to provide therapy in the states below. Each link goes directly to that state's current, continuously-updated policy profile from the Movement Advancement Project: nondiscrimination law, healthcare access, youth protections, identity document policy, and more.
This landscape shifts: sometimes quickly. These links pull MAP's live, current data rather than a snapshot I'd have to remember to update, so what you see reflects today.

A Note on What This Page Is (and Isn't)
I built this to put the work of the national organizations in one place, organized around the states I actually practice in. I don't administer, verify, or control any of the directories above, and availability of any individual provider or organization can't be guaranteed by me or by them.
If you'd like to talk with someone directly: about any of this, or about what support might look like for you specifically: I'd be glad to hear from you.
