LGBTQIA+ Individuals & Families
Space to think about identity, relationships, and belonging and make lasting change.
-
A young professional strained with code‑switching between queer community and a conservative workplace. We build coherence and steadier mood as you wrestle with questions about your romantic life and weekend.
-
Struggling with deciding who you should share your new name and pronouns with? We help you sort out what’s realistic and relevant with close and distant family as you navigate all the other important parts of your life.
-
Your career or grades look fine, but your intimate connections feels thin. We address isolation, meaning, and self‑regard in a world that fetishizes parts of ourselves and our productivity. Find your depth and honest story with the help of Webster Clinic.
You’ve had to leave parts of you invisible in your life to survive, but you needn’t here to thrive. Identity questions deserve time and care and we welcome them. For queer and trans adults or their families, Webster Clinic is more than symptom control. We help you make sense of mood, anxiety, relationships, family, and the pressure to perform in a world that doesn’t always support us. We are particularly attuned to the inner worlds of lesbians and women who love women, gay, queer, trans and nonbinary patients. Polyamorous and other consensually non-monogamous relationships are welcomed here as part of the richness of your life, not as pathology. We set a cadence that supports change, and consider medication only when it truly advances your goals. Collaboration with primary care and gender‑affirming clinicians can be arranged at your direction and with discretion as supported by the Commonwealth. We are some of the national leading experts in LGBTQIA+ care for children and adults. Your and your family’s names, pronouns, and constellation will always find a home here. We’re ready to welcome you with our long history of expertise, experience, and enthusiasm for our LGBTQIA+ community and our Harvard medical training across the lifespan.

We explore the place of gender in transition-related concerns in the context of family and culture.
