Sandy Kong
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT 119380
As a strong active ally of the community, therapy with me involves, affirmative, knowledgeable, and non-judgmental approach that centers on creating a safe environment. I do my best to stay educated and aware of the systemic, social, and political influences on this community, while also fostering collaborative therapeutic relationships with clients who identify as members of the LGBTQ+ community. Key practices include using inclusive, gender-neutral language, respecting self-identified pronouns, validating experiences of stigma, and avoiding assumptions that problems are inherently linked to sexual orientation or gender identity - all with compassionate care.
