LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapists in Bridgewater, MA
I’m Soli (they/them), a white, queer, trans/nonbinary, neurodivergent Clinical Mental Health Intern studying at Antioch University. I’m currently a professional bodyworker, and much of my work centers around trauma and nervous system function. I’m particularly interested in approaching therapy from a liberatory framework, to help you identify, challenge, and divest from the harmful systems in your life, and to support you in building healthier patterns, connections, and resilience.

I currently have limited morning availability! The world can be a stressful place to live as we try to navigate our own lives. Many of us are living in a state of fight or flight, trying to push down the difficult feelings and coping with feelings of guilt about what we could be doing differently to make things easier. We struggle to take the time or allow ourselves to be okay with caring for ourselves. I strive to help my clients to better cope with their own emotions and practice self-compassion in order to live a more peaceful, enjoyable, and meaningful life.

You know what therapy is and have tried it before but with little or no relief of your problems…
You know that therapy “can work” but can’t seem to find “a good fit” with a therapist - you want to find someone who can go beyond just offering “resources” for a different “mindset” or cognitive approach.
You are looking for someone who can help you explore meaning and find answers beyond traditional therapy approaches ...

My career started as a volunteer at a suicide prevention lifeline providing support for individuals in distress, and I learned that being present for people in their most vulnerable times of need is one of the most humbling yet fulfilling services I could provide. I have also worked in residential care, university, and hospital settings. I am here to guide clients who are ready to produce dynamic change in their lives. I work with clients experiencing various challenges including trauma, challenging relationships, and life transitions to name a few, and how these factors affected the client and family systems.

LGBTQ+ Therapists
Do LGBTQ-affirmative therapists receive special training?
Yes. Many therapists who practice LGBTQ-affirmative therapy have completed specialized training, either during their degree program or as continuing education, to learn the core principles of affirmative therapy and how to best support their LGBTQ clients; some have received certifications in LGBTQ-affirmative therapy. Prospective clients should inquire as to a clinician’s background and training to ensure a good fit.
Why might I want to see an LGBTQ-affirming or LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
Queer and gender-non-conforming individuals frequently experience bias and marginalization in day-to-day life. Working with a therapist who understands these unique challenges, as well as accepts and affirms their identity, can help LGBTQ clients feel safe and supported during therapy—allowing them to better navigate their relationships, mental health, and anything else that they wish to explore during therapy. It is important to note that many therapists can be effective in their work with LGBTQ+ individuals, even in the absence of specific training or background knowledge. The most important component in therapy is the alliance between therapist and client, and this alliance can exist between individuals with very different backgrounds.
How can I find an LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
You may wish to inquire about a therapist’s expertise with your specific challenges or concerns—depression, for example, or relationship strife—as well as their past experiences treating LGBTQ+ clients. Prospective clients may also ask whether a therapist has obtained additional training and/or certification in LGBTQ-affirmative techniques.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience with LGBTQ issues?
Prospective clients should feel empowered to directly ask therapists whether they have received training or been certified in LGBTQ-affirming therapy; competent therapists will be happy to explain their educational background and preferred approach(es) to help a client find the best match for them. Clients may also wish to ask how a therapist has treated clients with their particular challenges in the past and what they expect treatment to look like.
Are all the therapists listed in the LGBTQ directory themselves members of the LGBTQ community?
While therapists may choose to disclose their sexual orientation or gender identity in their profiles, the LGBTQ directory features not only those who have shared this information but also those who assert specialized training or experience in providing support to queer individuals, couples or families.
