Hello! Saw a post asking about therapy on another sub so I'd like to share my experience on finding a queer-friendly therapist.

I didn't have a good first experience with therapy. It's because I complained about it that I found the therapist who ended up helping me. Yung first experience ko kasi, sabi niya most of my problems seem to come from the fact that I'm a lesbian. Syempre di na ako bumalik. HAHA It took another three years to be referred to Ateneo's UGAT Foundation, where I asked to be matched with an LGBT-affirming counselor who also understands neurodiversity. I started July 2022 and was "graduated" from therapy by December that year. My therapist was a great fit for me. Now I'm training to be one myself, hoping to be a safe space for queer clients in the future.

Also, underrated but your therapist's training and personal approach to therapy makes all the difference. Try to find out more about their background and leaning sa types of therapy before making an appointment.
