While the USA has noticed gradual improvements in LGBT civil rights over the last several years, there is a long way to go. The effects of ongoing stigma, harassment, violence, prejudice and discrimination place people with gender and sexually expansive identities at greater risk for substance misuse and psychological distress. Even for those fortunate not to be significantly impacted by these forces, living in a hetero-normative world is enough to create tension and conflict.
For some, working with a gay-identified practitioner is important. As a gay-identified psychologist, Stephen Terracciano provides a safe and welcoming space where clients can be more fully understood. Whether you want to address concerns related to gender and sexual identity and expression, or have other concerns, Stephen's intention is to help clients harness all of their strengths and celebrate all of who they are.
