gender dysphoria/Transgender issues

I have worked with many clients that are a part of the LGBTQ+ community. I utilize affirmative therapy which means i strongly believe in providing a Safe, supportive environment for clients to process their experiences where they can feel confident that the therapist validates their identity. I am well aware of many of the challenges that LGBTQ+ Clients face such as discrimination, stigma, identity acceptance, lack of inclusive healthcare, minority stress, social rejection and challenging family dynamics. I have also worked with several clients struggling with gender dysphoria and assisted them in exploring their gender identity and finding a comfortable gender expression. I am knowledgeable about and have supported clients through the transition process including hormone therapy.
