Finding LGBTQ+ community in New York shouldn't feel impossible. Queer Connections is a weekly virtual support group that connects queer New Yorkers from NYC to Buffalo, creating genuine friendships and support—no gatekeeping, no "queer enough" questions, just real connection.


It’s not always easy finding a space where you feel seen — especially right now. Whether you’re craving community, still figuring it out, navigating stress, or just want a space to show up as yourself, this group is for you!


What happens in our LGBTQ+ online support group: New York therapists Sam and Kelly facilitate judgment-free discussions where LGBTQ+ adults share experiences, build authentic friendships, and navigate everything from dating apps to family dynamics, identity, political stress, or whatever’s on your mind. Virtual format means you can join from anywhere in New York State.


This LGBTQ+ support group is for you if:

  • You're 18+ and identify as LGBTQ+ in New York State

  • You're seeking online queer community and peer support

  • You want virtual therapy groups that fit your schedule

  • You need a safe space for LGBTQ+ mental health support



TLDR: Weekly Thursday hangs with queer folks who get it. Come talk about whatever—dating, family, the state of the world. Virtual, no pressure, just vibes. Insurance works, self-pay's cool too.
