Groups
Women's Coming Out Later in Life Support Group
It's not unusual for women's sexuality to shift. It's also not unusual for women to delay coming out as lesbian, gay, bi, queer, pan, curious, questioning or 'No labels, please!' due to social, religious and family pressures. This is a safe, intimate space (now online & back in person) that allows you to be curious at your own pace, get comfortable in your own skin and begin to explore the meaning of these issues for you. Information on this group and how to participate is at MelissaLesterLCSW.com. (Open to GA residents only due to licensure limitations.)
