As a therapist, I see individual, couple & adult family (18+) clients. My clients are LGBTQIA2S+ folks from all backgrounds & abilities who are tired of going in circles with their people or parts -- this includes partners, colleagues, siblings, parents and even conflicting aspects of one's Self! Differences can be a strength (rather than a threat) if clients are supported and grounded enough to embrace them. We can learn how!
