Gay-friendly psychologist?
I’m looking for recommendations for a gay-friendly psychologist in Melbourne, preferably someone on the younger side.
This isn’t a weird hookup request—I just find it easier to open up to someone who understands the culture and context without me having to explain everything from scratch.
In the past I’ve mostly seen older straight men or women, and find myself spending the session explaining things like Grindr, Sniffies, or aspects of gay life before we even get to the actual issue. I also just feel like they wouldn’t understand why it’s normalised for gays to randomly turn up to a beat and fuck at 9pm on a Tuesday.
I’d really value someone who is LGBTQIA+ or at least very affirming and culturally competent—someone who just gets it.
Any recommendations would be much appreciated. Bonus if they are also a psychiatrist / has links to one. I’m exploring ADHD diagnosis options too.
