The Institute for Human Identity was founded in 1973 to fill an important need: providing affirmative professional mental health services to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people. After leading the successful struggle to remove homosexuality from the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, the founders of IHI recognized the need for a LGBTQ+ psychotherapy and clinical training center that could address people’s emotional problems while respecting and fostering their unique sexual orientation and gender identities. 

Today, IHI Therapy Center provides over 20,000 sessions of psychotherapy annually to people of all sexual orientations and gender identities. IHI’s Advanced Clinical Internship program, a graduate-level training program for mental health professionals, prepares competent, queer-affirming therapists for future practice. IHI Competency Courses, the organization’s external educational initiative, provides continuing education and professional development to mental health professionals as well as cultural competency trainings for corporations and organizations seeking to better serve and support LGBTQ+ employees and clients.
