A Welcoming Practice

 

I think most therapists would agree that it is important not to discriminate against individuals based on race, religion, socioeconomic status, gender identity, hair color (although I’m partial to purple)...the list goes on. Malcolm Gladwell writes in the book Blink about how we often can not identify our own prejudices, including the ones we have about ourselves. I strive (as best as my unconscious mind will allow) to provide a safe environment for everyone including the LGBTQ community. If you have any particular concerns about my knowledge or understanding of your unique family please talk to me about it and throw a pillow at me if I say or do something boneheaded. I  can learn but I may need your guidance as well. In the end, family is family and sometimes we all need help to work out the rough spots.
