What happens when mental healthcare providers themselves become targets of political attacks? How do therapists support marginalized communities while managing their own wellbeing? These questions lie at the heart of our conversation with Abby Cota-Logan, a pioneering force in LGBTQ+ affirming mental healthcare.
Abbey takes us inside Clintonville Counseling and Wellness, a practice she co-founded in Columbus, Ohio that's become a lifeline for transgender and queer clients. From offering free gender-affirming letters to accepting Medicaid despite financial challenges, their commitment to accessibility shines through every aspect of their work.
The conversation reveals the profound impact of sociopolitical factors on mental health. "For the LGBTQ+ community, the personal is political," Abbey explains, describing how legislative attacks create a state of constant hypervigilance among clients worried about losing healthcare, marriage rights, and even custody of their children.
Perhaps most compelling is Abbey's perspective on sustainability in helping professions. The pandemic transformed their approach, reducing daily client loads and emphasizing therapist self-care. Through community-building activities like canoe trips and regular supervision, they're modeling what authentic, joyful mental healthcare can look like.
We explore the business challenges facing small practices—from insurance nightmares to venture capitalist buyouts—and how Clintonville has adapted by diversifying services while maintaining their core mission. Their growth from five clinicians to over twenty without any marketing speaks to the desperate need for their services.
Whether you're a mental health professional, someone seeking affirming care, or simply interested in how healthcare adapts to societal challenges, this conversation offers valuable insights on creating brave spaces where healing can flourish despite external pressures.
