Episode 9

Beyond the Binary - Therapy for the Transgender and Gender Diverse Community

Are you a part of the Trans or Gender Diverse Community? Maybe you support members of the Trans community? Perhaps you have family members who are Trans, Gender Diverse or Non-Binary. This episode with Tasha, a LGBTQIA+ Counsellor is for you!

In today’s episode Tasha explains who falls into the Trans and Gender Diverse community. We discuss why it is so important for Trans people to know that coming to therapy for mental health support is vital alongside of any medical interventions. We also talk about some of the misconceptions people have about the Trans community and how we as cisgender folk can show support.

 

Tasha Turner is a Queer Neurodivergent Counsellor, Advocate, wife, and chronic pain battler.

Many of her clients are neurodivergent, mainly autism and/or ADHD and are part of the LGBTQIA+ community. Tasha uses her lived experience to work with these individuals to connect on a deeper level as someone who understands many of the struggles and triumphs faced.
