About the Course

While many clinicians consider themselves LGBTQIA+-friendly, well-intentioned clinicians can create inadvertent harm without proper training in LGBTQIA+ affirmative psychotherapy. We will cover key differences between LGBTQIA+-friendly and LGBTQIA+-affirmative psychotherapy and provide suggestions on how psychotherapists can move from being open and welcoming to having the education to provide a healing space for LGBTQIA+ clients. Learning Objectives: 1. Discuss at least 3 differences between LGBTQIA+ friendly and LGBTQIA+ affirmative psychotherapy 2. Identify at least 1 personal practice a psychotherapist can take toward providing LGBTQIA+ affirmative psychotherapy
