How To Apply
Please submit your CV and a short cover letter outlining your clinical approach, experience working with queer and trans individuals (or other relevant life experience) and interest in this work. In addition, please include a short response (1–2 paragraphs max) to ONE of the following questions.
1. What is a piece of 'standard' clinical advice or a common therapeutic framework that you find yourself consistently pushing back against or modifying in your practice?
2. How do you approach the concept of 'gender exploration' with a client who is unsure of their identity, without centering a specific 'end goal' or transition outcome?
3. Many traditional clinical frameworks prioritize 'individual resilience' or 'self-regulation.' How do you adapt your work with racialized trans clients to ensure you aren't accidentally pathologizing their natural responses to systemic state violence or colonial erasure?
4. How do you navigate the tension between maintaining 'professional boundaries' as taught in Western graduate schools and the need for relational, community-centered care when working with Indigenous or Two-Spirit clients?
