Abstract Individuals who identify as gifted or LGBTQ + often have qualitatively different academic, social, and emotional experiences throughout their adolescent development. However, scant research exists exploring the development of individuals who hold these intersecting identities. Using an anonymous retrospective qualitative survey, 75 participants who identify as both gifted and LGBTQ + shared narratives about their development as gifted LGBTQ + students. Using interpretive phenomenological analysis, the data revealed three superordinate themes that articulated the overall description of the gifted LGBTQ + participants’ development. Implications of the results for school counselors are provided.

Abstract The purpose of this generic qualitative study was to explore the experiences of 10 licensed clinicians who have provided services to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and queer populations (LGBQ) who are survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV). After the data was collected, transcribed, and coded, five main themes emerged from this study: (1) past experiences impacting rendering services, (2) confirmation of IPV within LGBQ populations, (3) challenges of rendering services, (4) training considerations, and (5) a call for change in the mental health profession. Implications, including training considerations, and directions for future research are considered.

Abstract The Russian government adopted “anti-gay propaganda” laws in 2013, prompting an exodus of LGBT+ individuals who sought asylum in Western countries. Little is known about this new and diverse group of immigrants and their post-migration experiences in the U.S. An interpretive phenomenological analysis (IPA) was used to analyze nine semi-structured interviews. Four major themes emerged: “being a new asylum seeker: challenges ranked,” “reconciling multipolar identities,” “a sense of safety and freedom vs. a shock of nonsupport and discrimination,” and “belonging: new communities and their challenges.” The study calls for counselors to gain knowledge of immigration policies and new immigrant LGBT+ communities to address the within-group diversity, immigration and asylum challenges, language barriers, and general institutional barriers to services faced by these populations.

Abstract LGBTQ communities have faced a history of legalized discrimination including discriminatory laws and lack of legal protections. This has had varied mental health implications including increases in depression, anxiety, substance use, and suicidality. The authors provide an overview of this discriminatory history and it’s connection to mental health concerns of the LGBTQ population. Counseling implications and advocacy suggestions are also provided.

Abstract Gender diverse individuals experience stigma, discrimination, and transprejudice from interactions with society leading to the development of physical, mental, and emotional instability. Lack of counselor education and training perpetuate gender diverse individuals’ experience of transprejudice and discriminatory experiences in transphobic counseling environments. The purpose of this hermeneutic phenomenological study was to illuminate the lived experiences of professional counselors counseling gender diverse clients to bridge the research gap. Data collected from seven licensed professional counselors with experience counseling gender diverse clients produced ten major themes. These study findings provide insight regarding the potential to improve counselor standards and preparation.

Abstract In this study, we examined the experiences of support for lesbian couples that navigated the fertility process. Using a sample of seven couples, we explored the support across Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems. Participants perceived support from themselves and their partner/spouse, chosen families, family members, other lesbian couples, and the medical community. Participants described stressful factors such as finances, emotional and physical stress, heteronormativity in the medical community, lack of support from family, and loss of pregnancy. The use of Relational Cultural Theory may be helpful to lesbian couples looking to expand their families through reproductive methods.

Abstract In this study, I examined three case studies of Assigned-Female-At-Birth (AFAB) teenagers who came out to their families in the course of therapy; all cases are derived from private practice work from 2015 to 2018. These all have in common some of the important and distinct differences between “coming out” as LGB and “coming out” as transgender or nonbinary. Overall, these cases emphasize: (1) Specific needs of transgender teenagers and young adults, particularly with regard to appealing for permission to use hormones; (2) Race and class implications for coming out as transgender and non-binary; (3) The necessity of better general education about transgender lives; and (4) The impact of parents on transitioning experiences and self-identity. The different outcomes of gender identity outness, including different parameters for what parental approval and validation means, are explored. I conclude with clinical implications for doing work with transgender teenagers and their parents, along with advice to practitioners for how to work with a sample of parental responses in order to minimize trauma and harm to transgender and non-binary teens.
