High School LGBTQ Support Group

Who

Teens ages 14-17 who identify as LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, genderqueer, non-binary, pansexual, and other identities along the spectrums of gender identity and sexual orientation). Occasional exceptions made for mature 13-year-old individuals who are in high school. New group members can join quarterly.

What

This is a fun support group for LGBTQ-identified and questioning teens. Group members will have a safe space to explore their identities, create community, and just be themselves. Group topics may include healthy relationships, coming out, gender exploration, talking with parents, and other topics that the group decides upon.

When

This group will meet on Thursdays from 4:00 – 5:30 pm from April 4 – May 23, 2024. 

Where

Sentier Psychotherapy

670 Cleveland Ave. S.
St. Paul, MN 55116

 

Located in the Highland Park neighborhood above Highgrove Dental, next to CorePower Yoga, and across the street from Cecil’s Deli.

Why

LGBTQ individuals are at increased risk of mental health issues, substance abuse and addiction, and certain types of trauma. Additionally, LGBTQ youth have limited access to adequate mental health care and supportive services. This group aims to provide the support that is often lacking for LGBTQ teens.

How

To inquire about group availability or to enroll your teenager, please contact Ellie, our Client Care Coordinator, at [email protected] or 763.913.8261.

Fees

Group cost is $40 for screening and per group session. Sliding fee available, inquire with therapist. Superbills are provided for all group members and are particularly helpful for those who would like to submit to HSA, flex accounts, or insurance providers for out-of-network reimbursement. Therapist may be able to submit out of network insurance claims if requested following payment.
