Whether you're questioning your sexual or gender identity or have been out for years, a therapist who understands you is key to successful therapy. We learn about ourselves through relationships and sometimes what we learned in the past isn’t helpful for us in the present. Trauma, abuse, neglect and microaggressions can teach us that we don’t deserve to have the career, relationships, sexual intimacy, or life that we want. This happens all too often with queer & trans people, especially BIPOC. Without conscious awareness, these lessons may cause us to sabotage ourselves or our relationships, but it’s never too late to unlearn them!

Cadyn Cathers, PsyD Licensed Psychologist 32839

I help LGBTQIA+ adults understand their experiences, both past and present. It can take a long time to discover new positive messages. Together, we can discover your strengths and explore patterns to help you gain insight into deeper issues and enable a better future. The journey starts with being known and accepted for who you are.

If you are experiencing anxiety, depression, low motivation, or general life unhappiness, you may want to disown those experiences. But your symptoms are messengers about what needs to be addressed. A supportive therapeutic relationship can help you take a good look at your feelings, your life, and your relationships. Let's explore together.

I focus on helping people understand their relational dynamics - whether it is relationship with themselves, others, or society. By understanding your relational patterns, you can understand where they come from, what maintains them, and decide whether you want to change them. By using the therapy relationship as an example of your patterns, we can work together to develop new ones!

TRANSFerence Clinical Consultation Group - Online

Dr. Cadyn Cathers

This weekly consultation group will focus on deepening the work between a therapist and a transgender/gender nonbinary (TGNB) adult client. Each meeting is an interactive exploration about a member’s work with a TGNB client. The group is structured to draw the therapist/client dyad into the group through parallel process, emotional enactments, and transference/countertransference dynamics with a special emphasis on gender. This group is guided to be playful, emotionally intimate, interactive, and spontaneous.
