humans have the right to high-quality, patient-centered health care that
is equal, inclusive, and unbiased. We offer a safe haven for the LGBTQ+
community; our compassionate and skilled providers offer a spectrum of
personalized care in a culturally competent and judgement-free setting.

Behavioral Health Services
Patients at the Babs Siperstein PROUD Center have access to behavioral
health services with an outpatient behavioral health therapist dedicated
to working with members of the LGBTQ+ community.
Our therapist is available five days a week for in-person and telehealth
appointments, supporting members of the LGBTQ+ community throughout their
journey, from exploring gender identity or sexual orientation to coming
out to their friends and family and learning to live fully as their true
selves, which may include developing coping skills or ways to build their
personal support network. This is a safe space where they can find understanding
and acceptance and develop a plan to address the unique challenges they face.
Most major insurance plans are accepted. Costs for behavioral health services
for uninsured LGBTQ+ patients will be covered through funding from a grant
from TD Bank.
