Affirming LGBTQ+ Therapy Services at Panorama Therapy
Seeking Therapy as a Queer or Trans Person
Between coming in to ourselves, learning to navigate public & private spaces, and really embracing our identities, we LGBTQ folks are often on a lifelong journey. At the same time, while negotiating straight spaces like many therapy offices, we can often be misunderstood, othered, and harmed. It’s easy to see why not enough LGBTQ+ folks are getting the mental health care we need!
As an LGBTQ+ person, you may have concerns about finding a therapist who truly understands and affirms your experiences. We get the importance of meeting with a therapist who is 100% on board with who you are, how you love, and how you navigate the world.
Too often, queer and trans folks face unique challenges when seeking therapy, including judgment, microaggressions, misunderstandings, and having to educate or explain yourself. Psychologist Miranda Nadeau, Ph.D. is dedicated to creating safe and welcoming spaces where you can explore your concerns without fear of judgment or mistaken assumptions and misunderstandings.
Affirming Therapy
A queer therapist herself, Dr. Nadeau has extensive experience working with LGBTQ+ adults and provides a compassionate approach that can help you feel heard, validated, and supported. At Panorama Therapy, she provides a safe container for folks living outside the heteronormative model to explore identity and self-expression. We encourage diversity and embrace uniqueness. However you experience or identify or express yourself, we support you and want to further uplift you. Our approach to serving you comes from a place of experience and understanding.
We know first-hand the power of having a space where you can talk about your sexuality, gender identity, and everything else in your life without having to educate or explain yourself. At Panorama Therapy, you can feel confident that our psychologists affirm and validate you at the baseline, allowing you to focus on the issues that really bring you to therapy.
Some of the various concerns that clients bring in to talk about include:
Validating your sexual and gender identity
Cultivating self-acceptance
Coming out, wherever you are in your life and whatever your cultural context
Cultural challenges that arise at your unique intersections
Anxiety
Depression
