Arrive Therapy offers a comprehensive range of support services for transgender, non-binary, and gender-questioning individuals through their trans and non-binary groups. These groups provide a safe and inclusive space for members of the LGBTQIA+ community to explore their gender identity, navigate the challenges of transitioning, and receive support from experienced therapists and peers.

Understanding Gender Identity

One of the primary focuses of Arrive Therapy's trans and non-binary groups is helping individuals understand and embrace their gender identity. The groups offer a supportive environment where participants can openly discuss their experiences, feelings, and concerns related to gender dysphoria, coming out, and the process of transitioning.

Navigating the Transition Process

For those embarking on a gender transition, the groups provide invaluable guidance and resources. Participants can receive assistance with accessing gender-affirming healthcare services, such as hormone replacement therapy and gender-affirming surgeries. The groups also offer support in navigating the legal and practical aspects of transitioning, such as changing one's name and updating identification documents.

Family and Relationship Support

Arrive Therapy recognizes the importance of involving loved ones in the transition process. Their trans and non-binary groups offer family therapy sessions to help family members understand and support their transgender or non-binary loved one's journey. Additionally, the groups provide guidance for navigating relationships and the workplace during the transition process.

Therapeutic Modalities

Arrive Therapy's trans and non-binary groups employ various therapeutic modalities to cater to the diverse needs of their clients. These include individual counseling, therapeutic groups, online therapy, and in-person therapy sessions. The groups are facilitated by experienced LGBTQIA+ therapists who have a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by the transgender and non-binary community.

Building Community and Connections

Beyond therapeutic support, Arrive Therapy's trans and non-binary groups foster a sense of community and connection among participants. Members have the opportunity to share their experiences, learn from one another, and build lasting friendships with individuals who understand their journey

By offering a comprehensive range of support services through their trans and non-binary groups, Arrive Therapy aims to empower and uplift members of the LGBTQIA+ community, promoting self-acceptance, personal growth, and overall well-being.
