Poster Session VII - Research Proposal Posters

Keyword: LGBTQ+

Abstract: This research examines how therapists respond to LGBTQ Muslim identities in clinical settings. Analyzing responses to video vignettes, three themes emerged: hesitant exploration of religious identity, labeling of queer Muslim identity, and preconceived notions of religious-sexual identity. Findings highlight the need for culturally responsive therapy to support LGBTQ Muslims.
