How To Apply
Please email your CV and a short cover letter to [email protected] outlining your clinical approach, experience working with queer and trans individuals (or other relevant life experience) and interest in this work. In addition, please include a short response (1–2 paragraphs max) to ONE of the following questions.
- What is a piece of ‘standard’ clinical advice or a common therapeutic framework that you find yourself consistently pushing back against or modifying in your practice?
- How do you approach the concept of ‘gender exploration’ with a client who is unsure of their identity, without centering a specific ‘end goal’ or transition outcome?
- Many traditional clinical frameworks prioritize ‘individual resilience’ or ‘self-regulation.’ How do you adapt your work with racialized trans clients to ensure you aren’t accidentally pathologizing their natural responses to systemic state violence or colonial erasure?
- How do you navigate the tension between maintaining ‘professional boundaries’ as taught in Western graduate schools and the need for relational, community-centered care when working with Indigenous or Two-Spirit clients?
