Question 1 of 4
Are you queer yourself?
“Yes. That does not make me automatically the right therapist for every queer client — but it does mean I do not need the first six sessions to teach me.”

Queer identity

Approaches I use
Evidence-based methods, blended for fit
A good therapist doesn’t pick one school and force everyone into it. Here are the approaches I draw from.
Affirmative therapy
Therapy that holds your identity (gender, orientation, relationship structure) as a baseline rather than a question.
Narrative therapy
Re-authors the stories told to you and about you so you have agency in your part of them.
IFS
Internal Family Systems — works with the protective parts of you that learned to function around older experience.
