About the Speaker
Hi, my name is Ari Heart (they/them).
I am a trans non-binary person, psychotherapist, parent, educator, and Co-Founder of Trans Wellbeing.
This presentation is born out of years of professional study and personal observation, recent research publications and over a decade of conversations with clients and community, personal therapy, and consultation with respected colleagues and mentors in the field.
It is the conceptual framework underpinning every intervention I use with trans clients, and that has allowed me to contribute to greater ease and personal liberation for countless clients, as well as myself.
“Ari is a caring and thoughtful practitioner who I have known for many years, they’re someone I trust and highly respect. I’m so happy for our young people that they are doing this work.”
