Given how intimate the patient-therapist relationship is, it is important for patients to find a clinician who shares or deeply understands their identity. That’s why many patients seek out queer-competent therapists. Finding an LGBTQIA+-competent therapist can seem like a daunting task, and it may be even more difficult for patients in rural areas. For example, someone looking for therapy in Charlotte NC, an urban area, might have an easier time finding a queer-competent therapist than someone in rural Oregon. However, there are some ways to gauge whether a therapist is LGBTQIA-affirming. Here are eight signs that a therapist is queer-competent:
Some therapists allow for a short telephone consultation with potential patients to get to know each other. Patients can ask the therapist questions about their competency around LGBTQIA+ issues and any relevant training and experience. It may take some time to find the right therapist, but it’s worth the effort. With a queer-competent therapist, LGBTQIA+ patients can feel secure in knowing they have someone who is prepared to work with them and committed to providing the best care possible.
