Therapy Group for Parents and Grandparents of Transgender and Gender Expansive Kids
Umbrella Collective is offering an 8-week virtual therapy group for parents and grandparents of transgender and gender-expansive children (of all ages). Group will be hosted on Wednesdays from 5:30 - 6:45 pm MST (75 minutes) at $60 per session starting September 3rd. For those new to the process, group therapy is a setting where practicing therapists can help facilitate growth in a small number of people by leveraging the group's strengths and adding to that through their expertise and experience. In this group, we will discuss topics such as: Adjusting to name and pronoun changes, fears for your trans child, maintaining and learning about access to gender affirming care, grief and loss, hopes and aspirations for your child, and more.
Brooke Rundle, LPC (she/THEY)
BROOKE’S therapeutic approach is grounded in Attachment Theory, Multicultural Humility, and Relational Cultural Theory. I believe that nobody embodies only one identity, and everyone is unique and complex with multiple and overlapping identities. I am committed to embracing a philosophy of cultural humility that advocates against issues of racism, classism, ableism, homophobia, and transphobia. I provide individual & GROUP counseling to support clients with self-acceptance, body neutrality, navigating the coming out process, overcoming internalized oppression, healing relational wounds, and cultivating holistic wellness.
Devon Gratson (HE/HIM)
My approach is grounded in behavioral, relational, and integrative principles. I always aim to center authenticity, empathy, and humility. I believe we are always learning, and by emphasizing these principles, I hope that together we can foster lasting change. I am a firm believer in adopting a non-judgmental standpoint, where we can openly discuss topics of shame, grief, and celebration from a non-judgmental perspective. With this perspective, I aim to create a space where clients can explore their emotions, experiences, and thoughts with self-compassion and curiosity, in a society that often makes it difficult to do so. Through my education and research, I have adopted various theoretical standpoints, including Queer Theory, Gender Minority Stress Theories, Critical Race Theory, Intersectionality Theory, and Radical Hope Theory, among others. I hope that by creating a wide range of theoretical understandings, it will help me understand how you’re showing up in the space and how we can connect.
