You've been the strong one in every room.

The one who figured it out, moved on, and made it look easy. 💔

Queer life asks a lot of you ✨

And most therapy WASN'T built with that in mind.

Ours was.

At ATC, every clinician specializes in LGBTQIA+ affirmative care, body, sex, trauma, and everything in between.

No explaining yourself.

Diet culture didn't ask for your consent before it

Diet culture didn't ask for your consent before it got inside your head.

It just showed up 💔

In the mirror, at the dinner table, in every "new year, new you" message that taught you smaller, more disciplined bodies are better bodies. 🪞

That's not self-improvement.

That's body image injury.

And if you're trans or gender non-conforming, it hits different because you're navigating all of that while also navigating your relationship with a body that the world has strong, wrong opinions about. 🌎

Coming Home to You is a 8-week virtual group exploring eating disorder recovery and body image injury within the trans experience.

✨Led by Sophie Kuhn Bedaña, LMSW✨

8 weeks | Saturdays via Zoom

$90/session | 2 sliding scale spots available | 18+

This isn't a character flaw. It's what happens when your work lives inside the same body that's supposed to show up for the people you love.

For trans and nonbinary people, food was never just about food.

Your relationship with eating and your body is connected to gender dysphoria, safety, visibility, and how the world reads you.

Treatment that ignores that doesn't just miss the point. It sets you back.

✨Coming Home to You✨ is a 6-week group with Sophie Kuhn Bedaña, LCSW exploring the intersection of eating disorder recovery and the trans experience.

The second cohort is filling now!✨

Neurodivergent?

You belong here.

This space honors different communication styles, energy levels, and nervous system needs.
