LGBTQ+ survivors of IPV are more likely to seek help from a psychotherapist than they are from domestic violence agencies. However, most psychotherapy graduate programs lack training in how to serve LGBTQ+ people experiencing violence. This three-part workshop will offer providers tools to screen for IPV and create culturally competent safety plans with clients. Participants will gain an understanding of the unique social, cultural, and institutional barriers LGBTQ+ survivors face. And finally, they will explore strategies for providing evidence-based, trauma-informed therapy tailored to LGBTQ+ survivor’s unique needs. Diverse learning styles will be supported through a mix of pedagogical techniques, including lecture, small group discussions, independent journaling prompts, and experiential activities.

Dr. Sonia Lindner is a complex trauma specialist currently in private practice in Los Angeles. She completed a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology, advanced training in Narrative Therapy, and most recently a Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Trauma Treatment and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion work through the Greater Los Angeles Veterans Affairs Hospital System. She works most often with LGBTQ+ adults seeking to shift their relationship to stress and trauma. 

For accessibility and interpretation requests, please contact Keilani Garcia (she/they) at [email protected] at least two weeks before the training date.
