Counseling or therapy isn't about "fixing" something that's wrong with you, making you "better" because you're "sick". You are great, just as you are, and deserve to feel good about yourself. Counseling or therapy is about getting to know yourself, learning about who who you are and what you want, and sometimes venting or talking through sad or frustrating situations in your life.  

​

As far as gender and sexuality, if you are trans or questioning your gender, or have questions about sexuality, or just need to talk to someone about what your already know, a counselor or therapist is ideal for that. They have rules to protect your privacy, and a therapist who is trans and queer may have navigated a lot of the situations you're going through.
