Come join Katie Heiden-Rootes, PhD, LMFT, for a weekend workshop!
This two-day workshop offers a relational, systemic approach to working with queer and trans youth and their parents, with a focus on strengthening family connections even amid difference, distress, and uncertainty. Participants will explore how to maintain an affirming stance with youth while also engaging parents in ways that reduce defensiveness and open space for reflection and change. Drawing on family therapy frameworks and queer intersectional feminist practices, the workshop emphasizes how therapists can hold multiple truths in the room where parents become change makers and queer and trans youth reclaim wholeness. Through case discussion, reflexive inquiry, and live demonstration, clinicians will deepen their capacity to stay relationally present in complex family systems and support pathways toward increased safety, understanding, and belonging.
