BEING TRANS WITH STRENGTH

An 8 Week Online Therapy Support Group for Trans & Gender Non-Conforming Folx

Tell Me More!

Chronic invalidation, internalized oppression, depression, substance use, minority stress, acute and chronic gender dysphoria, body dysmorphia, discrimination-driven social anxiety, lack of community...these are just a few of the issues that come up for us trans folx.

This 8-session support group fuses DBT and CBT-skills building with lived-experience story sharing. The goal is to provide trans and gender non-conforming folx a safe space with similarly-identifying folx to develop skills for managing day-to-day challenges.

Trans-female and trans-male mentors will be present in addition to the provider to offer peer support. Attendees will be invited to access online digital communities where they can get to know their cohort colleagues better and support them in their moments of joy and need!

How Does It Work?

The group is run by Dr. Kelsey Harper and Rainbow Transformations founder and coach Hana Leyland.

The format of the group fuses DBT and CBT-skills building with lived-experience story sharing. We will explore the connections between our thoughts, feelings and behaviors and the social messages we as gender expansive folx receive. We will examine our core beliefs and find ways to buoy ourselves up with affirming practices.
