The Gender and Sexual Identity (GSI) Team
The GSI team provides a space for our clinicians to continue to learn and grow in order to better serve clients across all genders and sexual identities. We work towards an active partnership with our clients to create a zone of trust and comfort. We strive to meet our client's where they are and to affirm their personal journeys.
Mindfully Support for LGBTQIA+ Individuals
At Mindfully, we believe in supporting our LGBTQIA+ youth and adults by providing a safe place of support, authenticity, and where ALL clients can be seen and heard. Whether you're facing stigma, discrimination, shame, rejection, or simply the challenges of every day life, compassionate and effective support may be the key.
We believe that Embracing diversity is being inclusive of all people, ideas and viewpoints. It’s respecting others. It’s being open and curious. And it’s promoting fairness and opportunity for all.
