Counseling

Volusia Pride is dedicated to supporting the mental health and wellness of our LGBTQ+ community. Our center will offer both individual and group counseling services, facilitated by compassionate counselors and therapists from our local community. These services are designed to provide a safe, affirming space for individuals seeking guidance, support, or simply someone to talk to.

As our program is still in its early development stage, we will continue to grow and expand throughout 2025, adding more counselors and diverse group therapy options to better meet the needs of those we serve. We invite you to stay connected with us as we build a supportive environment that promotes healing, growth, and community connection.
