Over the past decades I have dealt with issues and have sought help from Identify House. Got me healthier and happier. People are people including peer counselors. Give them a break. Mine actuality very nice.
Was very poorly treated by "peer counselors" and supervising therapists. Do not recommend.
LGBTQ people have a right to exist. I'm glad to have a safe place to ask questions in a judgment free environment. Bigotry has no place here.
