Prism
LGBTQIA+ Affirming Intensive Outpatient Program
Where every identity is seen, valued, and supported.
A prism takes what appears to be a single beam of light and reveals a full spectrum of color. In the same way, Prism honors the depth, complexity, and individuality of every person we serve.
All Guidelight clinics and programs are LGBTQIA+ affirming. Prism is an optional pathway for adults seeking a more intentionally designed, culturally responsive environment to navigate mental health challenges, identity exploration, relationships, and life transitions.

Our Clinical Approach
At Guidelight, we believe exceptional care is both evidence-based and deeply human.
Prism delivers our world-class Intensive Outpatient programming, intentionally refined to support LGBTQIA+ individuals. Group therapy is powerful on its own — but its impact deepens when experienced alongside peers who understand your lived experience.

- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
- Mindfulness and grounding practices
- Expressive therapies
Every aspect of care is tailored to the individual, because personalized support leads to meaningful, lasting outcomes.
