Medinfinit, an online psychology platform for Iranians worldwide, connecting you with Persian-speaking psychologists and counselors.
Online LGBTQ+ counseling in Farsi

Specialized LGBTQ+ Counseling with a Mental Health Approach

Finding someone you can talk to without worrying about judgment isn’t always easy, especially when the topic is sexual orientation, relationships, or family acceptance. You may feel freer after migrating, yet still experience loneliness or the pressure of other people’s expectations. LGBTQ+ counseling helps you explore these concerns and get support to care for your mental health. You don’t have to change your identity or orientation to receive counseling.

Through its LGBTQ+ counseling services, MEDinfinit helps Farsi speakers in Canada review therapist profiles and choose a specialist familiar with sexual and gender diversity.

Here you can be yourself and talk without judgment.

Counseling topics

Which concerns can we support you with?

From family pressure to relationships and loneliness, online LGBTQ+ counseling offers a chance to understand your feelings and find healthy ways to face life’s challenges.

Worry about family acceptance

When you fear how loved ones will react or don’t feel ready to talk about yourself.

Anxiety and social pressure

When discrimination, other people’s judgment, or hiding your feelings weighs on you.

Relationships

When you struggle with trust, intimacy, or setting personal boundaries in a relationship.

Does any of this feel familiar?

With a short assessment, find a Farsi-speaking, LGBTQ+-affirming therapist.

Loneliness and belonging

When you feel no one understands your situation or you lack close connections.

Migration challenges

When life in a new country has changed your family relationships and sense of belonging.

Understanding your feelings and needs

When you want to think more calmly about your feelings, wishes, and choices.

Identity and migration
Your feelings are heard, without you having to explain yourself.
Beyond a shared language

Psychological support without judgment or prejudice

Imagine that after migrating you feel more able to be yourself, but you still worry about how your family in Iran will react. An LGBTQ+-informed therapist can help you talk through these conflicts, relationships, and cultural pressures, without pressuring you to come out.
