2SLGBTQIA+ Affirming Care
2SLGBTQIA+ affirming care is that which supports people to feel safe, healthy and comfortable with their gender and sexual identity. It is based on informed consent, which means that the client knows themself best, and it's the therapists' job to support the client to access the services they need in the safest way possible. Unpacking the role of gender in one's life and the effects of growing up transgender (“in the closet” or otherwise), can take a lifetime. A therapist can help you gain perspective and create a plan for personal growth. A therapist can also become an essential part of a healthy support system, especially for people with difficult family dynamics.
