What Is Affirming Therapy?
Affirming therapy goes beyond being welcoming. At TheraQ, it means recognizing how power, privilege, and oppression affect identity and mental wellness, understanding intersectionality, and supporting healing from trauma while respecting your unique experiences.
At TheraQ, it means:
Recognizing systemic impacts: How power, privilege, and oppression shape identity and mental health.
Understanding intersectionality: Considering race, culture, disability, neurodivergence, religion, gender, and sexuality in your experience.
Healing from trauma: Addressing religious, medical, or family trauma, microaggressions, and internalized homophobia or transphobia.
Expert clinicians: Professionals with lived experience, specialized training, and cultural humility.
