🗯️ “No one really gets me.” If you've ever walked into a room and felt out of place... If you've ever tried to explain who you are—only to be met with blank stares or silent judgment… If you’ve ever felt like even in your lowest moments, no one truly sees you— You’re not imagining it. Many LGBTQ+ individuals experience this kind of invisibility every day. 💭 When you live in a world that often misunderstands your identity, your emotions, or your experiences, it’s easy to feel alone—even in a crowd.

🗯️ “Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we’ll ever do.” – Brené Brown Every day, LGBTQ+ individuals are asked to be brave— To speak up, come out, advocate, exist. But that bravery often comes with emotional scars— From rejection, invisibility, or trying to survive in a world that doesn’t always affirm who you are. 🌱 What if your story didn’t have to be a struggle to survive… But a journey toward healing and self-love? This Pride Month, we celebrate not only the boldness of being out, but also the quiet courage it takes to care for your mental health. At Persad Center, we’re here to walk with you as you reclaim your truth—on your terms: 🏳️‍🌈 LGBTQ+ affirming therapy – Compassionate care where your identity is never questioned. 💬 Counselors who understand – No explanations needed, just support and validation. 🌟 Personalized healing – Whether you need talk therapy, medication management, or a space to breathe, we’ve got you. 💭 Afraid to start?

Pre-register today at https://www.persadcenter.org/pre-register or call 412-441-9786 to schedule an in-persad or telehealth appointment. 💖 Pride is more than a parade—it’s learning to love your story.
