BIPOC LGBTQIA+ clients often find that their spirituality is the only thing that keeps them connected to a community that marginalizes them for being a person of color and someone that identifies as LGBTQIA+. Working with clients from the intersection of spirituality, religion and emotional wellness for the BIPOC LGBTQIA+ community can be tricky. Often clinicians use personal religious beliefs and/or spiritual tenets that may pathologize a client's sexuality, sexual orientation, gender identification and/or sexual preference. Because of this possible issue, clients are placed in a situation that harms verses providing healing for the presenting issue(s) at hand.
With the use of Internal Family System (IFS) therapy, Brainspotting, EMDR, and Somatic Experiencing (SE), you’ll be offered a way to hold on to your personal beliefs without imposing them on their clients. Using multiplicity of self, understanding the use of SELF energy, accessing critical mass of self during sessions and working through the “healing steps” of the modalities of choice for this population!
