Clayre Sessoms Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, RCT, RCC, CCC, ATR-P
At Clayre Sessoms Psychotherapy, we are deeply committed to providing specialized care for LGBTQIA+ individuals, as we are all queer and trans therapists dedicated to community care. Our practice centers on creating a safe and affirming space where individuals can explore their identities, experiences, and challenges within a supportive and understanding environment.
As queer and trans therapists ourselves, we bring a unique perspective and lived experience to our work with the LGBTQIA+ community. Our therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy, authenticity, and a deep appreciation for the diverse and complex experiences of queer and trans individuals. We believe in the power of community care and strive to create a welcoming and inclusive environment where clients feel seen, heard, and valued for who they are.
Through a combination of relational therapy, somatic techniques, and trauma-informed care, we guide clients in navigating issues related to gender identity, sexual orientation, coming out, family dynamics, and societal challenges. We recognize the importance of addressing the intersectionality of identities and experiences within the LGBTQIA+ community and work to empower individuals to embrace their authentic selves and lead fulfilling lives.
Our practice is grounded in the belief that everyone deserves to feel accepted, supported, and validated in their journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance. We are passionate about fostering resilience, healing, and empowerment within the LGBTQIA+ community, and we are committed to providing affirming and compassionate care that honors the unique experiences and identities of each individual who walks through our doors.

Forouz Salari
Registered Social Worker, MA, MSW, RSW
It's not easy being a queer or trans (2SLGBTQIA+) person who lives and works in systems, institutions and communities that were historically created by and for cis-gender, heterosexual people. You may be feeling ignored, silenced, excluded, outcast or unsafe. You may be struggling to have equitable access to the same rights, freedoms, resources and opportunities as your cis-gender heterosexual peers.
Through these experiences, many queer and trans folks often feel unsafe, misunderstood, unwanted, outraged, confused, and isolated!
Over time, it's easy to internalize others' prejudiced attitudes and discriminatory actions, which can negatively affect your self-perceptions, confidence, self-worth, health and wellbeing, connections to others, and the opportunities that you allow yourself to pursue.
Let's work together to:
Disentangle yourself from unrealistic, oppressive and exclusionary societal expectations, norms and standards.
Clarify your unique identities, strengths, needs, boundaries and goals.
Practice self-acceptance, self-compassion and self-advocacy.
Create nourishing and fulfilling connections with supportive and inclusive communities.
