May/June 2021 The Listeners: Taking Therapy to New Places

This issue explores therapeutic work in new spaces, showing how clinicians are stretching beyond their customary professional roles to apply their clinical skills in new ways. Many share the common goal of expanding access to those too often shut out of the mental health system, and are responding to the particular concerns and needs of the communities they’re serving. Other pieces cover using the gender-affirmative approach to support transgender children, an art therapist’s take on how to replace discomfort with creativity, and an interview with an expert on working with Black girls in therapy.
