With more than 15 years in the counseling field, I have come to realize that getting rid of the sterile and clinical therapist stereotype is a must. My approach is relaxed and I know that sometimes, the best way to express yourself is with a handful of swear words. If you’re tired of reading the same ol’ self-help books, listening to the run of the mill life coaching podcasts, and getting unsolicited advice from your friends, you might just need a good therapist who can help you laugh while getting you through these rough spots.

Life often presents many challenges that can leave people feeling unequipped to cope. As a result, some feel they are only surviving instead of thriving. The good news is this does not have to be the case. If you'd like help making that transition, I may be of service to you. I have 12 years experience in the area of counseling, 7 of them as a licensed professional counselor. I help people work through grief, depression, anxiety, symptoms of bipolar disorder, relationship issues & anger management, among other areas of concern.

Your child is struggling, and you are as desperate as they are to understand what they are going through. Ever since you learned that they identified as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, you knew they would need you more than ever. The thought of helping them navigate the varying emotions, confusing thoughts, paralyzing fears, and overwhelmed by what it means to be a member of this community in today’s society sends you into a spiral yourself. How can you be their support when this is all new for you, too?

Humor has long been considered an essential element of healing. I place great value on the coupling of feelings. The deep coexisting alongside the light. Our stories are equally diverse and important, but the therapeutic relationship doesn't have to feel frigid. I consider building rapport to be the first step in laying the foundation of our safe space. Every single person, regardless of background, beliefs, persuasions, affiliations, or afflictions, deserves to feel validated and worthy. You are not alone.

Transgender Therapists

As a gender-diverse individual, why might I want to see a therapist who is also gender diverse?

A trans or gender-diverse client may want to see a therapist who is also trans or gender diverse because the client may feel safer sharing their experiences and more confident that the therapist will understand, validate, and support them. But trans or gender-diverse clients can also benefit from therapy with cisgender therapists; this is a personal decision based on the connection between the client and the therapist, and if that connection is strong, therapy will be successful.

What if I cannot find a therapist who shares my gender identity?

Therapy can still be effective if a therapist does not share a client’s gender identity; a large body of research indicates that the most important factor in successful therapy is the therapeutic alliance. A therapist can also be interviewed for sensitivity and competence on gender identity and expression to ensure they possess appropriate knowledge and skills. Many therapists have excellent training and extensive experience working with gender-diverse clients, and that expertise can be invaluable despite a therapist not sharing the same firsthand experiences.

How can I recognize a good therapist for working with gender-diverse clients?

An experienced therapist should be able to help clients explore their gender identity and expression, alleviate discomfort related to their gender identity, treat mental health challenges and trauma, address existing relationships and communication with family members and loved ones, and determine the next steps pertaining to nonmedical or medical gender-affirming interventions. To recognize a good therapist, clients can ask about these topics and explore their comfort and connection with the clinician.

How might I inquire about a therapist’s experience working with transgender clients?

Clients should feel comfortable asking therapists directly about their experience working with transgender or gender-diverse clientele. For example, clients may ask about the therapist’s training and education with regard to gender identity, how many trans clients they’ve worked with in the past, and what sorts of matters were discussed. You may wish to inquire how a therapist specifically supports the needs of transgender clients or clients questioning their gender identity. A good clinician who is nonetheless not the right fit for you is often happy to make referrals to others based on the concerns you articulate in a preliminary conversation.
