With over 39% of the LGBTQ+ population reporting symptoms of trauma, shame, fear, discrimination, abuse, attachment injury, substance abuse, and suicidal ideation…

…it’s critical that you thoroughly understand the complexities of LGBTQ+ mental health and its impact on treatment and the identity development process.

An LGBTQ-friendly practice is NOT the same as an LGBTQ-informed one—it’s time to close the gap.

This essential online course is your guide to confidently working with clients on any part of the sexuality and gender continuum, which could be any client you work with.

Using a trauma-informed lens, leading experts in the LGBTQ+ field will unpack LGBTQ+ related trauma—from covert cultural sexual abuse and minority stress—that often underlies presenting symptoms and interferes with our client’s identity development.

Register now to become the go-to therapist for LGBTQ+ clients and help them feel at home in your practice and move them toward living a life that’s authentic to who they are!

When you register, you’ll acquire clear strategies with straightforward guidance that other trainings shy away from. You’ll learn how to:

• Engage clients around cultural norms, gender, sex, and relationships
• Build a strong foundation of safety, trust, and credibility
• Avoid the most common treatment mistakes that can leave your client more traumatized by the therapy intended to help them

Expert clinician Joe Kort, Ph.D., LMSW, will walk you through specific strategies to better treat the unique challenges your client may be facing, such as: self-acceptance and internalized homophobia, non hetero-normative sexual behaviors and practices, trauma and abuse from growing up LGBTQ, or the difficult process of coming out.
