In the best/ideal case, that's one of the jobs of a pastor/rabbi/imam. Their purpose, to now use Christian language, is to care for their flock. This does mean being concerned with the spiritual needs of the individual. But it also means being concerned with the larger community.
You can imagine those goals being in conflict. The norms that help communities to grow and find new life are not necessarily the norms that help individuals find fulfilment. For example, heteronormativity helps the biological reproduction of the community, and generally is good for the happiness of the majority, but it sucks for LGBTQ people. It's natural, therefore, for there to be a backlash against it. But it seems to me that the solution is really to recognize the roles that people of all sexual preferences can play in ensuring the community's biological, ecological, and cultural future. In this way, norms related to fertility can be reconciled with those about truth-to-self, in a way that is actually functional.
(Note that if 20% of the community has a non-reproductive role to play, and a birth rate of 2.1 is required to maintain the community, then a birth rate of 2.6 is required among the 80% of heterosexuals, which is perfectly reasonable. As some percentage of those will probably remain single -- 20%? -- then really only about 64% of women can be expected to have children, in which case the expected value needs to be about 3.3 -- still fine. An alternative is to make up for low reproductive rates by proselytizing, but I think a permanent culture needs to exist at an equilibrium. If gene/meme incentives are not aligned, everyone will need to wage a constant war against their own selves (various kinds of "pray the gay away" and other mutilations), which is exactly what we are trying to avoid.)
All this is meant simply as an example of how, although shifting from therapist-of-the-individual to shepherd-of-the-community could be anticipated to advance different (and possibly problematic) norms, it is probably possible to resolve those norm-conflicts in a way that is productive, i.e., that respects and values all individuals while also propagating a sustainable, non-parasitic culture.
