LGBT Issues therapists in Auburn, Massachusetts MA
Jennifer Plumb Vilardaga, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
Wherever you are on your journey, I aim to support you. We can work together on defining goals for your care whether it be exploring your identity, exploring if/how to share your identity with others, or coping with other stressors related to your life, we will take each as it comes. For some, their gender or sexual identity (or how others currently or historically have responded negatively or harmfully to you) is at the forefront of their life and treatment goals, and for some it is an important part of themselves but not a current focus for care. I aim to be affirming in all that we do, learning about and supporting you as a whole human worthy of dignity, respect, and kindness.

In our therapy sessions focused on LGBTQ issues, we embrace a collaborative and narrative approach that honors your unique experiences and identity. Together, we explore the diverse narratives and challenges within the LGBTQ community, understanding how they shape your sense of self, relationships, and well-being. Through compassionate dialogue and active engagement, we delve into the complexities of navigating identity, coming out, and facing discrimination, while also celebrating your strengths and resilience. Our aim is to empower you to embrace your authentic self with greater self-awareness, confidence, and pride. By co-creating personalized strategies and coping mechanisms, we work towards fostering self-acceptance, building supportive relationships, and navigating societal challenges. Through this collaborative journey of self-discovery and empowerment, you'll find a safe space to explore your identity, receive validation, and connect with a supportive ally on your path towards living authentically and thriving in your truth.
