LGBTQIA+ Affirming Therapy
Committed to the Care of & Advocacy for our LGBTQIA+ Community
LGBTQIA+ Affirming Therapy is a therapeutic approach that recognizes and affirms the diversity of gender identities and sexual orientations. It aims to create a safe and welcoming environment for queer clients to explore their identities and experiences without fear of judgment or discrimination. The goal of LGBTQIA+ therapy in Denver, CO is to support clients in developing a positive sense of self and forming a deeper understanding of their unique experiences.
What is LGBTQIA+ Affirming Therapy?
Queer identities encompass a broad range of experiences, including gender identity, sexual orientation, and more. Affirming therapy recognizes and validates the diversity of queer identities, including lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning, intersex, asexual, non-binary, pansexual, and other gender-nonconforming identities. Queer individuals may also experience discrimination and marginalization based on multiple aspects of their identities, such as race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status. Affirming therapy recognizes the intersectionality of these experiences and works to create a space that acknowledges and respects these complex experiences.
Heteronormativity is the assumption that heterosexuality is the norm and that all individuals should conform to traditional gender roles. Affirming therapy challenges these assumptions and promotes acceptance of diverse expressions of gender and sexuality. At Denver Couples & Sex Therapy, we believe it is the right of each individual to explore, define, and express their authentic identity. Our practice and therapists prioritize this value and respect for the individual beliefs, values, and perspectives of our clients.
