History

The Institute for Human Identity was established in 1973 to provide professional mental health services to the LGBT community. After leading the successful campaign with the American Psychiatric Association to have homosexuality removed from the list of mental disorders, the founders of IHI recognized the need for a therapy center that could address people's emotional problems while respecting and fostering their unique identity.

Specialties

We aim to provide the highest level of care to our clients, helping them identify and work towards the resolution of issues causing emotional distress. Because IHI is also a training institute, our therapists offer a broad range of therapeutic approaches, this ensures clients get the best fit for their concerns. Our goal is to help clients work through current problems but also provide them with the skills and tools to successfully manage future events.
