Mission Statement
Identity House is an all-volunteer community that provides counseling services to support and encourage LGBTQ+ adults who are working through issues around sexual orientation and gender identity & expression, including, among other things, alienation, relationships, and family.
About This Cause
Identity House provides a unique service as a peer counseling center for the New York City metropolitan area’s LGBTQ+ community. We offer a walk-in counseling and referral center, as well as weekly groups where people can talk about issues related to sexual and gender identity. Unlike formal therapy, peer counseling is based on the belief that with proper guidance and support, people are capable of working through many of their own problems. Our peer counselors use active listening skills to help clients clarify their thoughts and feelings and to explore solutions. We have the opportunity to share as equals and draw on personal experience to let clients know we’ve been there, too. And if just talking isn’t enough, we also make referrals when appropriate to short-term counseling, peer-run support groups, or licensed therapists.
