This confidential group provides a safe, gender-affirming space for registered GVSU students who identify as members of the LGBTQ+ community. Factors impacting identity such as stereotypes, family, and religion will be explored, depending on group preference. Additional factors that may be explored include experiences of anxiety, depression, stress, and other mental health concerns. A commitment to attend each weekly meeting for the semester is required.

Students interested in joining the LGBTQ Therapy Group can contact the University Counseling Center at (616) 331-3266 to schedule a brief intake meeting. Questions about this group can be directed to Maaike Hulst or Andrea Smith, who are the co-facilitators.
