Rick Grant-Coons
Psychologist, Psy.D
LGBTQ+ Affirmative Therapy (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer or Questioning) is not a neutral approach. It is based on the understanding that LGBTQ+ people are not just tolerated or accepted, but celebrated for their value in any culture. This perspective is essential for effective therapy since it challenges many years of hostility inflicted by a homophobic and heterosexist culture. Shame and self-hatred are consequences of surviving in such a society and become expressed in a variety of ways. These ways are often the reasons therapy is sought out. The healing process of LGBTQ+ Affirmative Therapy transforms the self-hatred into self-compassion. It works through pain instead of avoiding it turning suffering into empowerment.
