Join us for an engaging and informative live webinar focused on supporting families of transgender youth. Designed for therapists and professionals, this interactive session will explore key topics such as navigating complex family dynamics, fostering a strong therapeutic alliance with the entire family, and effectively guiding a youth and their parents through critical developmental milestones. Through a mix of lecture, experiential activities, and group discussions, attendees will gain practical tools to enhance communication, strengthen connections, and manage conflict resolution within families. Participants will also have the unique opportunity to submit clinical scenarios prior to the workshop for real-time consultation and guidance during the session.
About our presenter: Jayson Peterson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Oregon, specializing in individual, relationship, and family therapy and practices in Eugene, Oregon. He holds an MEd in couples and family therapy from the University of Oregon. Jayson has been in private practice for 11 years. He additionally offers clinical supervision for LPC and LMFT interns in the state of Oregon, as well as consultation appointments or educational presentations for other clinicians and/or organizations.
Jayson has been active in the LGBTQIA+ community for 39 years. Amongst his areas of expertise are trans, gender diverse, queer, gay, lesbian, and bisexual issues; trauma recovery/PTSD; chronic illness and disability; communication; relationship counseling; and anxiety and depression.
Jayson also has a specialized practice for trans and gender diverse people who are exploring gender identity issues, beginning the transition process, and/or wanting to explore life issues that are not necessarily related to gender identity issues. Likewise, he provides services for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and/or queer individuals and couples, including but not limited to sexual identity issues. He welcomes polyamorous systems.
Jayson is a strengths-based therapist. His therapeutic approach includes an integration of narrative and emotionally-focused therapies. He is interested in the stories that dominant cultures (society, ethnicity, family of origin, chosen family, relationships, institutions, etc) tell us about ourselves in tandem with our preferred stories of our lives. Further, he is interested in the ways in which emotional injury due to these factors lead to coping techniques and communication styles that may or may not be helpful to leading a meaningful and fulfilling life.
Jayson loves music, reading, dogs, and hats.
