Finding affirming healthcare shouldn’t be this hard.
Created by queer people, for queer people. LGBTQHealthcare grew from years of helping people look for care that respects who they are.
The reason we’re here
Inclusive language is a start.
The experience matters.
A rainbow on a website or inclusive language doesn’t always tell you what the experience of receiving care will actually be like.
Finding affirming healthcare can mean extra research, asking around for a trusted name, and wondering whether you’ll need to explain or advocate for yourself before you can focus on your health.
Our story
Built from a problem
we kept encountering.
Since 2015
Experience in LGBTQ+ behavioral healthcare shaped the reason for this directory.
This wasn’t an abstract problem to us. We experienced parts of it ourselves as LGBTQ+ people, and for years we’ve seen it in the lives of the people we’ve worked alongside and the LGBTQ+ people and communities we’ve served.
Since 2015, our work in LGBTQ+ behavioral healthcare has repeatedly meant helping people find healthcare beyond our own programs—primary care, therapists, specialists, gender-affirming care and other services where they could feel respected and understood.
Again and again, we ran into the same problem: a provider’s description of themselves as LGBTQ+ friendly couldn’t tell us what the experience of receiving care would actually be like.
We’ve heard the stories. We’ve helped search for better options. And at times, we’ve helped make sure someone had support or an advocate beside them when navigating care.
LGBTQHealthcare grew from that experience—and from the belief that finding affirming healthcare shouldn’t depend on already knowing the right person to ask.
What we want to change
Care should be easier to find.
Respect should be expected.
LGBTQ+ people should be able to look for healthcare without first having to wonder whether they will be respected for who they are. Finding primary care, mental healthcare, specialty care, reproductive healthcare or gender-affirming care should not require knowing the right person first.
Our mission is to make that search clearer and less isolating: help people understand their options, discover providers and take a next step with more useful information. A directory cannot guarantee an experience of care, but it can make the search easier to begin.

Built with our community
Help us find the places
getting it right.
Our experience is only one part of the picture. LGBTQ+ people across the country know affirming doctors, therapists, clinics and other healthcare providers that others may never find on their own.
If you’ve had an affirming experience with a healthcare provider, tell us about them. Your recommendation can help us discover practices we may not know about—and could help someone else find the care they’ve been looking for.
