Who This Is For

If you're asking any of these questions, you're in the right place.

Parents come to a Parent Navigation Session carrying questions they're afraid to ask anywhere else. These sessions exist for exactly that.

On Identity

"My child just came out as gay. I love them — but I don't know what to say."

On Gender

"My teenager says they're transgender. I'm trying to understand what that really means."

On Language

"I keep saying the wrong thing. How do I talk to my child about this without hurting them?"

On Family

"How do I tell my parents? My church? My other children? I don't know where to start."

On Faith

"My beliefs and my child's identity feel like they're in conflict. Can I hold both?"

On Pronouns

"My child asked me to use different pronouns. I'm struggling with this and I feel guilty about it."

On Safety

"I'm scared for my child. What do I actually need to know to keep them safe and close?"

On Yourself

"I'm grieving something I can't quite name. Is that normal? Am I a bad parent for feeling this way?"

The guidance your family deserves — from someone who actually knows.

I became a psychoeducation specialist in LGBTQ+ family support because I kept seeing the same pattern in clinical practice: parents who deeply loved their children losing them anyway — not from lack of love, but from lack of language, framework, and guidance.

The internet has information. What it rarely has is a doctoral-level professional who will sit with your family, listen to your specific questions, and give you evidence-informed guidance tailored to your situation — your faith background, your family structure, your cultural context, your fears.

That is what a Parent Navigation Session provides. I translate research into practical guidance families can actually use — starting tonight.

Important note: Parent Navigation Sessions are educational consultations, not psychotherapy, diagnosis, or clinical treatment. If you or your child are experiencing a mental health crisis, please contact a licensed mental health provider or call the Trevor Project Lifeline at 1-866-488-7386.

Common Questions

Questions parents ask before booking.

Parent Navigation Sessions are educational consultations — not psychotherapy, diagnosis, or clinical treatment. They are structured to provide evidence-informed psychoeducation and practical guidance tailored to your family. Confidentiality standards differ from those in a therapeutic relationship, so please do not share information you would only share in a clinical context. If you or your child need mental health treatment, I am happy to provide referrals to licensed clinicians.
No. These sessions are designed for parents and family members — not for LGBTQ+ individuals themselves. The session is focused entirely on helping you understand, communicate, and show up better for your child. Your child does not need to be there, and in most cases it is better that they are not.
You're in the right place. These sessions are not designed for parents who have already figured everything out. They are designed for parents who are trying, who are struggling, who may still be processing. You do not need to come in with your feelings resolved — that is what the session is for. The only requirement is that you are willing to show up and listen.
Faith and family are both central to who you are, and you should not have to choose between them. Sessions can explicitly address navigating religious beliefs alongside supporting an LGBTQ+ child. This is one of the most common and most important topics families bring — and one of the areas where I offer the most specific guidance.
After booking you will receive a confirmation email with a link to a brief Before We Meet guide. Please complete it before your session — it allows Dr. Wright-Gomez to come prepared with guidance tailored specifically to your family's situation rather than a generic overview. You will also receive a Zoom link for your session date.
Yes. Couples and co-parents are welcome to attend the session together. In fact, having both parents present often makes the session more productive — it allows both of you to ask questions and to work through different perspectives in the same space. There is no additional charge for two parents attending a single session.
Ready When You Are

The conversation your family needs
starts with one session.

Your child doesn't need a perfect parent. They need a present one — one who keeps learning and keeps showing up. That parent is you. Let's get you the tools to do it.
