LGBTQ-Friendly Therapists

Below is a list of LGBTQ-Friendly Therapists in the area who have indicated an interest in and experience working with LGBTQ+ clients and/or family members. PFLAG Cape Cod has not evaluated their abilities and effectiveness, and therefore cannot endorse these individuals. However, we hope that the information provided in this list will give those seeking an LGBTQ+ friendly therapist a starting point in their selection process. The list below is organized by town (not village) and was updated in November 2024.

If you are a Therapist who would like to be added to this list, please fill out the Therapist Questionnaire and return to: [email protected]. Thank you.
