GCOUN 6032 Counseling Sexual Minority and Gender Diverse Clients
This course examines issues relevant to counseling gender and sexual minority clients. It focuses on the meaning of sexual orientation and gender identity and expression for individuals across the lifespan; contextualizing the impact of these identities from within an intersectional framework; and exploring the developmental, cultural, and social factors for LGBTQ+ communities. It addresses the impact of minority stress, the implications of deconstructing cis-heteronormativity, and the promotion of queer and trans-affirmative counseling practice.
