LGBTQIA2S+ Services
“I am an LGBTQIA2S+ Gender-Affirmative therapist and coach. I want you to know that I support you and your family. Being affirmative means to me that I treat loving couples, families, and transgender people with the dignity, respect, and affirmation you deserve; you are fine just the way you are.”
Dr. Daniela
Welcome to LGBTQIA2S+ Services
To me, being an affirmative therapist involves:
1. Self-reflection – reflect on my own upbringing, attitudes and beliefs; acknowledge areas of privilege; recognize bias stemming from living in a heteronormative and gender-binaristic society.
2. Get involved – live an affirmative life; become familiar with the issues; strive for social justice and social change.
3. Create an affirmative setting – provide LGBTQIA2S+ Gender Affirming friendly reading material, literature and resources; include affirming language on all paperwork; use client’s preferred name; don’t resort to heteronormative assumptions, instead ask about a client’s partner.
4. Be open about my commitment to providing affirmative therapy with all clients, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.
5. With heterosexual and/or cisgender clients, I act as an advocate by challenging heterosexism and the gender binary.
