What therapists are saying ...
“One of the first investments I made when opening Kindred Psychology was to purchase a Lifetime Membership to Affirmative Couch. An important mission of our Counseling Psychology group practice is to provide inclusive and affirming clinical services for LGBTQ+ populations. Affirmative Couch trainings have been an integral component of ensuring we accomplish this mission by helping us expand and refine our existing knowledge base. We have found trainings to be theoretically grounded, informative, sex-positive, strengths-based, holistic, non-shaming, and trauma informed. We also have appreciated the way trainings are tailored to be responsive to a variety of learning styles and abilities. Affirmative Couch trainings have prompted deeper discussions in case reviews, and have been meaningful to our non-clinical staff members as well. As a psychologist, practice founder, and member of the queer community, I highly recommend Affirmative Couch trainings as a high-quality, affordable way to support LGBTQ+ cultural proficiency.”
