Finding the right mental health care as an LGBTQ individual can be challenging and sometimes intimidating. At Lenape Wellness Center, we understand your need for safety, affirmation, and personalized care. Our luxury residential facility in Ford City, Pennsylvania, provides evidence-based, LGBTQ-affirming therapies in a supportive, judgment-free environment.
Why LGBTQ-Affirming Care Matters
Research from the American Psychological Association and the Trevor Project underscores that LGBTQ individuals face significantly higher risks of mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation. Experiences of discrimination, social stigma, and rejection can exacerbate these issues, creating barriers to effective care.
Key takeaways:
- LGBTQ youth are four times more likely to attempt suicide.
- Affirming therapy significantly reduces risks associated with minority stress.
- Respecting pronouns and identities improves mental health outcomes.
Our residential treatment program directly addresses these challenges, ensuring you are seen, respected, and supported every step of the way.

Therapies Tailored to LGBTQ Clients
Our personalized treatment plans integrate evidence-based therapies through an LGBTQ-affirming lens. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) are core elements of our trauma-informed care approach.
In addition, optional virtual family sessions help bridge understanding and support. Complementary holistic therapies like yoga, mindfulness, and equine therapy further enrich your healing journey.
Continuity of Gender-Affirming Medical Care

Here’s our simple, compassionate process:
- Verify prescriptions with your current healthcare provider before arrival.
- Provide medication management on-site by our trained medical staff.
- Coordinate paperwork and insurance documentation to simplify the process.
