Femenist & Queer psychology

Feminist Psychology focuses on understanding how gender, power, and social structures impact mental health and well-being. It challenges traditional psychological approaches that often overlook the influence of societal inequalities on individuals, particularly women and marginalized groups. Feminist psychology promotes equality, empowerment, and an inclusive perspective in therapy and research, addressing issues like gender roles, sexual violence, and systemic oppression. It seeks to give voice to those historically silenced by patriarchy and encourages a more holistic, intersectional view of mental health.

​

Queer Psychology examines how sexual orientation, gender identity, and societal norms impact mental health and personal development. It challenges heteronormativity in psychological theory and practice, advocating for the inclusion of LGBTQ+ experiences in understanding mental well-being. Queer psychology works to deconstruct harmful stereotypes, address discrimination, and create affirming spaces where individuals can explore their identities without fear of stigma. It promotes acceptance and visibility for all gender expressions and sexual orientations, recognizing the unique challenges faced by the LGBTQ+ community.

Together, Feminist and Queer Psychology push the boundaries of traditional mental health practices, advocating for a more inclusive, intersectional, and socially conscious approach that acknowledges the complexity of identity, power, and oppression. They aim to not only support individuals but also to transform societal norms and promote equality in mental health care.
