Tend the roots. Choose your family. Open up communication.
Whether y’all are chosen family, biological family, adoptive family, or one of the many other different types of family structures, Queer AF Therapy can help you create a family dynamic that resonates with you.
Engaging in family therapy can feel intimidating at first. We will start slowly, tailoring therapy to y’alls unique family needs. I provide talk therapy, whether (unstructured or structured) and base my therapy style on an anti-oppressive, relational-cultural, and intersectional feminist lens. I want to help y’all navigate the challenges of forming a family, exploring life changes or trauma within the family, getting to know your family dynamics better, finding who your chosen family are, and/or rebuilding broken family trust.
Healing the community around you is so important for healing the individuals in the family as well. When you take the step for family therapy, I see your family relationship as the client. Each individual is part of a system that creates a whole unit. Healing within a family looks like some give and take, compromising, understanding, care, and safety.
You and your family may be a good fit for therapy if y’all are experiencing/have experienced:
supporting family member(s) in exploring their gender or sexual identity
supporting family member(s) with past abuse, PTSD or C-PTSD
general LGBTQIA2S+ concerns
difficulty navigating life events together
frequent arguments/fighting
unhealthy communication styles
a lack of cohesiveness
supporting family member(s) though life struggles
