As a parent of both a transgender adult child and a queer adult child, I understand the wide range of emotions that come up when your child is questioning their identity and chooses the LGBTQIA+ community. Ms. Bazzanella will guide you through information about the community and teach you ways to communicate with your LGBTQIA+ youth that can strengthen your relationship with them and improve your child's mental health. I have experience offering individual, couples, and family psychotherapy to adolescents, adults, and families in my private practice. My background includes clinical supervision, supervising students and pre-licensed professionals. My clinical expertise encompasses trauma, addiction/substance use disorders (SUD), attachment issues, part work and LGBTQIA competency and affirmation. I am a registered play therapist and am a certified in Developmental Needs Meeting Strategy, trained in the Gottman Method for couples therapy, and certified in EMDR. Furthermore, I have professional experience in business consultation with healthcare leaders, groups, and practice owners, backed by a robust business background and proven skills in leadership.
