LGBTQIA+ Community

Supporting the LGBTQIA+ Community

 

AVOS is dedicated to serving and supporting the LGBTQIA+ community as well as other communities that have navigated societal oppression. We are a pro-queer, pro black and brown people, pro-choice practice—unequivocally! With a commitment to deconstructing all systems of oppression, we are committed to providing LGBTQIA+-affirming care that respects and celebrates the diversity of gender identities and sexual orientations. We understand that individuals within the LGBTQIA+ community may face unique challenges related to identity, societal acceptance, and mental health. 

Our beautiful community is inundated with anti-queer messages from the larger society and often, their families. We prioritize cultural humility in our approach, and we want to help clients remember their true nature and centralize queer JOY! The world is better because of our beautiful queer community AND navigating the world in a queer body can often come with trauma and pain.

AVOS is a pro-queer, pro black and brown people, pro-choice practice—unequivocally! 

A.V.O.S. seeks to be an open and affirming practice that can help navigate things like:

  • Creating loving relationships (monogamous or poly) with healthy boundaries and cultivating more self-compassion and pride.
  • Healing the wounds from transphobia, homophobia, racism, sexism, xenophobia and other forms of discrimination.
  • Processing the trauma of having unsupportive family members, spiritual communities and/or work environments.
  • Cultivating resiliency and shifting old coping skills that no longer serve you.
  • Exploring  gender identity across the continuum and supporting clients when transitioning and seeking gender affirming care.
  • Reclaiming Queer Joy!
