Trauma, Stress, Abuse, Violence (Domestic & Community Violence), Family history, Brain chemistry, Genetic background

Soulutions Counseling Services diverse staff has firsthand knowledge and experience with the barriers that exist in marginalized populations and communities.  According to the Health and Human Services Office of Minority Health, Black and Latino adults in the U.S. are more likely than white adults to report persistent symptoms of emotional distress, such as sadness, hopelessness and feeling like everything is an effort. Untreated mental health issues can worsen over time and ultimately interfere with your quality of life. They can also lead to thoughts or actions of self-harm, including suicide.

Soulutions Counseling Services believes in effectively addressing LGBTQ+ community’s mental health disparities and we strive to affirm, accept and respect the LGBTQ+ community. Our staff recognizes the stigma, lack of cultural sensitivity, and unconscious and conscious reluctance to address sexuality may hamper effectiveness of care. Everybody deserves and is worthy of access to good mental health care and support to achieve the best outcomes.
