LGBQIAP+

LGBQIAP+ stands for: lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer/questioning, intersex, asexual/ally, pansexual/polyamory, and others. 

Words, especially in the LGBTQ+ community, can be confusing for those new to, or even seasoned members of, the LGBTQ+ community. If this is something that matters to you as an individual, ally, business, or community organization– please feel free to reach out for consulting or individual sessions exploring whatever your questions are.

As an LGBTQ+ advocate, community member, and therapist, it is my privilege to affirm and validate you without cis or heteronormative expectations. In sessions, we work together to unpack and move past these harmful messages.

At Apoio, we embrace a sex-positive, kink-affirming attitude. We believe polyamory is just as valid as monogamy and believe all relationships can be healthy as long as the ways you engage in them are discussed and respectful to all parties.
