LGBTQ+ Mental Health Treatment
The Berman Center offers mental health treatment for members of the LGBTQ+ community in Atlanta.
LGBTQ+ Mental Health Treatment
The LGBTQ community faces distinctive mental health challenges requiring specialized care and understanding. Many people who are part of the LGBTQ community experience higher rates of depression, trauma and anxiety, often stemming from experiences of discrimination, rejection or social stigma. Addressing these concerns in a safe, supportive environment is crucial for long-term recovery and well-being.

Our approach allows clients to actively participate in their recovery, customizing treatment plans to individual needs. Whether it’s mental health support or addiction treatment, The Berman Center offers flexible options that allow LGBTQ individuals to build their own path to healing.
Belonging, acceptance and connection are core values at The Berman Center. These principles remain at the heart of everything we do. LGBTQ clients will find a welcoming, inclusive community to explore their sense of self, develop meaningful relationships and experience the strength of being part of a supportive group.

Understanding LGBTQ Mental Health Challenges
LGBTQ individuals face mental health challenges that often stem from their experiences. Along with issues like trauma, stress, anxiety and depression, these can be made worse by feelings of isolation and a lack of acceptance from family, peers or society.
LGBTQ individuals are also at a higher threat of developing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) due to adverse experiences. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), LGBTQ adults are over twice as likely to suffer mental health conditions like depression or anxiety. LGBTQ youth are at a much more significant risk for suicide attempts.
These worrying statistics emphasize the urgent need for mental health care addressing the challenges LGBTQ individuals face. Minority stress also plays a significant role in mental health struggles. This concept refers to the chronic stress stemming from life in a society that discriminates and disregards people based on their sexual orientation or gender identity. The constant pressure to conform or hide your identity or ongoing prejudice can lead to long-term psychological effects, impacting relationships, self-esteem and overall well-being.
Addressing these mental health challenges requires compassionate care. At The Berman Center, we offer depression treatment and other mental health programs that support the needs of LGBTQ individuals.

LGBTQ Mental Health and Addiction Treatment at The Berman Center
We offer individualized, adaptive treatment programs to cater to the needs of each client, including those who are part of the LGBTQ community. We understand no two journeys are alike, especially in the context of the complexities of mental health and addiction.
Our approach stresses flexibility to ensure every client gets the care to best support their healing process.
Our range of therapies includes:
- Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps clients reframe negative thought patterns and behaviors.
- Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) focuses on emotional regulation.
- Trauma-focused therapy and experiential therapies like psychodrama, where clients process past experiences of discrimination or rejection in a safe, supportive setting.
These therapies help LGBTQ individuals gain insight, heal from emotional wounds and rebuild their sense of self-worth.
What sets us apart at our outpatient mental health center is our elective offerings, letting clients choose their path during treatment. This level of autonomy is especially valuable for LGBTQ clients, many of whom may be grappling with issues of identity, self-acceptance or societal pressures.
Whether engaging in mindfulness exercises, participating in creative expression groups or selecting from other therapeutic options, clients are empowered to take control of their recovery journey in a way that resonates with their individual needs.
If you’re seeking mental health or addiction treatment in a welcoming, LGBTQ-affirming environment, contact The Berman Center.

WE ARE HERE TO HELP
A Safe Community of Belonging and Acceptance
At The Berman Center, we understand true healing happens when individuals feel a deep connection and belonging. Our treatment programs are built on the principle of a soul-to-soul connection, fostering a community where you not only heal but thrive in an environment of acceptance and support. We create a space where you feel valued, understood, and safe in expressing your authentic self without fear of judgment.
When you enter our program as an LGBTQ client, we prioritize ensuring you feel seen, heard and respected. Our staff is trained to understand the community’s unique challenges. We listen to each person’s story.
Our commitment to individualized care ensures you can fully engage in the recovery journey with dignity and confidence as an LGBTQ client.
Family therapy plays a fundamental role in recovery for many LGBTQ individuals as well, helping them rebuild connections that may have been strained or broken because of a lack of understanding or acceptance.
We offer biweekly and virtual family therapy sessions to educate and support family members. These sessions can help families navigate the complexities of their loved one’s identity and mental health for more communication and empathy.
By involving families in the healing process, we help LGBTQ clients mend relationships and build a stronger support system outside of treatment. Whether you’re seeking drug addiction treatment, alcohol rehab or another type of mental health treatment, we encourage you to reach out and see how we can help.
Stories of Hope
LGBTQ and Substance Use Disorders: Dual Diagnosis Treatment
Substance use disorders are a big concern within the LGBTQ community, often intertwined with mental health challenges. Turning to substances may be a way for LGBTQ individuals to cope with unique stressors they face, including internalized stigma. This coping mechanism can quickly descend into addiction, creating a dependence cycle requiring professional help to break.
At The Berman Center, we understand how important dual diagnosis treatment is. Dual diagnosis treatment integrates the treatment of substance use and psychiatric disorders at the same time. This type of treatment gets to the root causes of addiction, offering therapy to help you understand the emotional and psychological circumstances contributing to substance use.
Through evidence-based therapies and trauma-focused care, we help with identifying harmful patterns and the development of healthier coping strategies. The holistic approach we take in treating mental health and addiction in tandem allows clients to heal on all levels while building skills and resilience for long-term recovery.
