Our Approach

Trauma-Informed & Culturally Responsive

We understand that exploring gender and sexuality often involves processing past trauma, discrimination, and invalidation. Our approach honors your resilience while gently addressing wounds that may need healing.

Intersectional Awareness

Your gender and sexuality exist within the context of your race, class, culture, disability status, and other identities. We work to understand and honor all aspects of who you are.

Collaborative Partnership

You are the expert on your own experience. We provide guidance, resources, and support while respecting your autonomy and right to self-determination.

Harm Reduction

We meet you where you are, focusing on reducing harm and increasing well-being rather than imposing external standards or timelines.
