LGBTQ

All of you is welcome here.

WE ARE COMPETENT WITH AND AFFIRMING OF ALL GENDER IDENTITIES AND SEXUAL ORIENTATIONS, INCLUDING:

• queer, transgender, and gender expansive individuals and partnerships

• partners of transgender and gender expansive individuals

• lesbian, gay and bisexual individuals and partnerships

At a minimum, all of our clinicians acknowledge the bias inherent in a heteronormative and gender-binaristic society and are familiar with the issues and challenges faced by LGBTQ individuals.

Individual clients and their families are affirmed and supported, whether they wish to address issues specific to their LBGTQ identity or simply seek an affirming and accepting environment where they can focus on other needs.

Transphobia, erasure, and oppression are real, lived experiences. They can affect an individual's emotional health, relationships, and overall well being. A trans-affirming therapist will understand the multidimensional impact this can have.

We consider that not every issue a trans person experiences is a result of their gender identity. We don't assume that your identity is a problem for you. We are honest about our limitations and privileges for those of us who are cisgender folks working with a transgender or nonbinary person.

We make sure that we are showing up for our clients and staying current through regular consultation with transgender and nonbinary professionals, participating in ongoing clinical training, and being active members of our community to make sure that we provide the best possible care.
