From My Own Healing to Helping You | Chris Dorsey, Therapist in Decatur GA
I’ve Been Where You Are Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming. You want someone who truly understands—not just professionally, but…
At Dignity Counseling, we understand the unique challenges LGBTQIA+ individuals may face—whether it’s discrimination, rejection, or the pressure to hide who you truly are. You may be navigating complex emotions around identity, relationships, or past trauma, all while longing for a space where you feel seen, safe, and supported.
We’re here to offer that space. Through affirming, inclusive therapy—available in Decatur and virtually across Georgia—you’ll find the support you need to explore your identity, heal from past wounds, and grow into the most authentic version of yourself. You deserve to be celebrated for who you are, and we’re honored to walk alongside you on that journey.
At Dignity Counseling, we believe in compassionate, inclusive counseling explicitly tailored for the LGBTQIA+ community. We’re committed to providing a safe, affirming space where you can be your authentic self.
LGBTQIA+ mental health challenges are all too common, particularly among youth. Nearly 25% of LGBTQIA+ students experience bullying at school, and almost 30% are bullied online. This discrimination often leads to distress, depression, anxiety, and self-harm. Tragically, LGBTQIA+ youth are four times more likely to experience suicidal ideation and attempts.
Our LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy goes beyond general mental health support. We validate and honor the diverse experiences of individuals across the gender and sexuality spectrum—whether you identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex, asexual, aromantic, agender, or any other identity.
Here, you’ll find a compassionate, inclusive space to explore your identity, heal from emotional pain, and build resilience. Our personalized therapy meets your unique needs, offering a deeper connection, customized tools, and a clear path forward for mental well-being and personal growth.
Begin your healing journey with an in-depth consultation to discuss your needs and goals.
Experience regular counseling sessions tailored to your unique circumstances and progress.
Work towards achieving positive outcomes and personal growth through counseling.
I understand how difficult it can be to open up, especially when you’re dealing with feelings of shame, fear, or confusion. But therapy offers a safe, supportive space to explore your identity and move forward with self-love, strength, and compassion.
Using evidence-based methods, I provide LGBTQIA+-affirming care tailored to your unique journey. I’m here to help you navigate the complexities of your identity, offering guidance and support as you heal and grow stronger.
We begin by discussing your unique experiences and goals to create a personalized treatment plan. Through ongoing counseling sessions, we’ll work together towards healing, personal growth, and overcoming challenges. With transparent pricing and a treatment plan tailored to your needs, you’ll feel empowered to make informed decisions about your mental health and well-being.
