Charleston Area LGBTQIA Resources
Written by Brittany Albright MD and compiled by Amber Dugan
At Sweetgrass Psychiatry, we believe everyone deserves the best mental health care treatment and a seat at our table regardless of gender identity, sexual identity, race, ethnicity, religion, age (we are working on providing more services for children), abilities/disabilities, socioeconomic level (which is why we proudly take insurance), and educational status. We truly love all people from all places and all walks of life! We are constantly striving to be better, provide a safe and healing space, learn more about you, and meet you where you are at.
We recognize and appreciate the unique needs of our LGBTQIA brothers/sisters/friends and the undue stigma. We sincerely hope that you feel at home at Sweetgrass Psychiatry and that you can express your authentic and perfectly made self.
