Gender, Identity, & LGBTQ+ Training for Clinicians

Understanding gender, identity, and LGBTQ+ issues is essential for inclusive, affirming, and effective clinical care. PESI’s training programs in this area provide evidence-based frameworks and techniques to support professionals in working with diverse gender identities, sexual orientations, and experiences. Our courses offer accredited Continuing Education (CE) credits and address key topics such as gender dysphoria, minority stress, intersectionality, and affirming care practices.

Gain knowledge from leading experts who bring real-world clinical insight, cultural humility, and inclusive lenses. Whether you’re refining your approach to transgender and nonbinary patient support, integrating lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) affirming practices into therapy, or enhancing your competence in identity development work, these trainings equip you to provide compassionate, affirming, and competence-based care.
