The LGBTQ-Affirmative Psychotherapist Guild of Utah is a Utah-based, grassroots organization of licensed mental-health professionals and students-in-training. We share a collaborative commitment to make affirmative culturally competent therapy available for anyone. Affirmative therapy for LGBTQ individuals is based on the premise that LGBTQ and heterosexual identities are equally valid.
Our purpose is to

• Promote the improvement of mental-health services for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning individuals and their relationships.
• Create an active network among LGBTQ-affirmative mental-health professionals and students in Utah for purposes of our own empowerment, education, & professional growth.
• Enhance referral and information resources for those seeking mental-health services related to LGBTQ concerns.
• Maintain our professional responsibilities to multicultural competence by embracing a commitment to
  • Speak out against inaccurate and harmful information of LGBTQ individuals, their lives, and their relationships and
  • Take an active role in guaranteeing an affirmative environment for LGBT individuals and their families.
