Coming Out Later in Life Support Group - ONLINE
It's not unusual for women's sexuality to shift. It's also not unusual for women to delay Coming Out as Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Queer, Pan, Curious, Questioning or 'No Labels Please!' due to social, religious and family pressures. This is a safe, intimate space (now online) to get comfortable in your own skin and begin to explore the meaning of these issues for you. Information on how to participate is at melissalesterlcsw.com. OPEN TO GA and FL RESIDENTS ONLY.
LGBTQ Support Group - ONLINE
This is a group for women who are questioning their sexual orientation later in life. This therapist-facilitated group has been running since 2014 and continues to provide a safe haven for women between 20 and 80. If you are experiencing confusion, questions, curiosity and/or clarity about your sexuality, this group is for you. Please contact me to schedule a phone consultation prior to participation in this group.
