And, we are proud to announce the opening of Ways of Being Community Counseling, serving the Lesbian, Gay, Queer, Bisexual, Same-Sex Loving, Transgender, Transsexual, and Fluid Community at the Antioch University Counseling Center, to better address the needs of the Lesbian & Gay population of the Westside and Beach communities by offering counseling for issues such as coming out, identity formation, relationship skills, personal growth, domestic violence, sexual compulsivity, substance abuse and aging.
