Gender, Sexuality & Relationship Diversity (GSERD) Therapy
Gender, Sexuality & Relationship Diversity (GSERD) Therapy
Many people live, love, and understand themselves in ways that expand beyond cisgender, heterosexual, monogamous, and mono-normative frameworks. Exploring identity, desire, and relationship structures can be deeply meaningful — and it can also bring complexity, vulnerability, and stress, especially in a world that often lacks understanding or affirmation.
At Glow Collective, Gender, Sexuality, and Relationship Diversity (GSERD) therapy offers a supportive space for people of diverse genders, sexualities, and relationship configurations to be met with respect, curiosity, and care. This work honors the fullness of who you are and supports you in navigating both personal and relational growth.
Areas of Support
Clients seek GSERD therapy to explore and work with:
Gender identity and gender exploration
Sexual orientation, desire, and erotic expression
Queer, trans, and non-binary experiences
Consensual non-monogamy, polyamory, and alternative relationship structures
Relationship agreements, boundaries, and communication
Shame, internalized stigma, or identity-related stress
Religious trauma and its impact on sexuality and relationships
Burnout, anxiety, and life transitions within marginalized identities
Whether you are newly exploring or deeply rooted in your identity and relationships, therapy meets you where you are.
An Affirming, Trauma-Informed, Anti-racist, Intersectional Approach
GSERD therapy with Niko is grounded in trauma-informed, contemplative, and relational care. Niko supports clients in developing greater self-compassion, self-agency, and presence with what is true for you, the client. Therapy is collaborative and paced with care, creating space to explore identity, desire, boundaries, and relationships without judgment or pressure to conform.
This work recognizes that many queer, trans, and non-monogamous individuals carry the impacts of systemic oppression, minority stress, religious trauma, or relational harm, especially for individuals who are people of global majority / BIPOC. Therapy offers space to tend to these experiences while supporting resilience, authenticity, and healing.
