Abstract
Transgender, gender nonconforming, and nonbinary (TGNC/NB) individuals face higher rates of discrimination and violence than cisgender people, and as a result, experience higher rates of serious mental health concerns and isolation. Challenges with accessing affirming, competent psychological services are well documented. Group therapy could be one solution to some of these barriers; however, there is a lack of research examining group therapy for this population. Additionally, there is a paucity of community-based and qualitative research designs thus rendering TGNC/NB voices virtually silent. This community-based participatory approach used a semistructured focus group format and phenomenological thematic analysis to explore what TGNC/NB community members would like to see implemented in group therapy and group therapy research. Results offer guidance for practitioners of group therapy, considerations for group process, and group therapy research suggestions that will help maximize justice for the TGNC/NB community.
