ACCEPTING NEW MEMBERS. If you are queer/ trans and neurodivergent, finding community among others with similar lived-experiences is incredibly healing but often quite challenging. This is an ongoing group for clients who are interested in coming together virtually to explore the impact of living in a hetero/cis-normative world that prioritizes the needs of neurotypical/allisitic folks and harms those who are different. Group can be intimidating and I welcome those who are uncertain but curious to join me for a 1:1 intake to discuss the potential benefits of building community in a welcoming and therapeutic space.
