S3 E8 Beyond Pronouns: Creating Truly LGBTQIA+ Celebratory SpacesChange the Reel websiteEpisode 8: Dr. Brittany Bate on Creating LGBTQIA+ Celebratory SpacesDr. Brittany Bate, licensed psychologist and founder of Be Bold Psychology and Consulting, joins Monique Velasquez and Piper Kessler to talk about what it means to go beyond "affirming" to truly LGBTQIA+ celebratory mental health spaces—and why unconscious bias training matters more than memorizing pronouns.Dr. Bate is a queer cisgender woman, ADHD'er, and founder of two mission-driven businesses: Be Bold Psychology (LGBTQIA+ celebratory, neuro-affirming mental health practice offering therapy across 43 states) and Bold Practice Builders (supporting LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent wellness entrepreneurs).In This Episode You'll Learn:• Why "affirming" should be the default—and what it means to be truly celebratory • The moment a trans teen client taught Dr. Bate why "you guys" can cause unintentional harm • How unconscious bias and socialization shape language without us realizing it • Why Dr. Bate built a practice with no dress code (dress codes are rooted in white supremacy culture) • The power of showing up authentically on video—why clients choose therapists based on accents, body language, and how fast they talk • How being the "token queer person" led Dr. Bate to create her own affirming space • Why representation matters: hiring trans and gender-diverse clinicians for trans clients • The small language choices that lead to staff turnover because people don't feel seen • What's coming in 2026: "Not Your Mom's LGBTQIA+ Training" on unconscious biasKey Timestamps:00:05 - Training philosophy: Beyond pronouns to unconscious bias05:24 - From forensic psychology to creating queer-celebratory mental health08:46 - Being the "token queer person" and building her own space13:00 - Training that goes beyond pronouns: Unconscious bias and unintentional harm14:27 - The "you guys" moment: Trans teen teaches about language and safety16:32 - Breaking habits: Why language matters for inclusivity22:19 - No dress code policy: Authenticity over white supremacy culture26:12 - Power of video: Clients choose based on accents, body language, speech speed30:34 - 2026: "Not Your Mom's LGBTQIA+ Training" keynote and wellness summitThe "You Guys" Moment:Six years ago, Dr. Bate was leading a group for teens exploring gender identity. She said, "What do you guys think?"—a Midwestern colloquialism.A trans female teen responded: "Hey, Dr. Bate, I noticed my reaction to you saying 'you guys.' I know you didn't mean it this way, but I want to tell you how it landed for me."Dr. Bate realized: "I didn't know what I didn't know. I realized that I was unintentionally harming. This was just the first person who shared it with me.""The smallest pieces of language matter for safety and inclusivity. There are changes we can make to make it feel better for others."Beyond Affirming to Celebratory:"Affirming should be the default. Everyone should be affirming. But I think it's another step to truly be celebratory."Dr. Bate built Be Bold Psychology to be LGBTQIA+ celebratory from the website through intake, paperwork, the administrative team, and every clinician.Training Philosophy:"My trainings very intentionally go beyond pronouns and terms, which are super important. But I'm very into unconscious bias and the way we are socialized. I believe deeply that a lot of people make mistakes and might hurt someone completely unintentionally. They don't know what they don't know, including myself."Why Video Matters:Clients who reached out after seeing Dr. Bate's Psychology Today video mentioned:"I could tell from your body language you're someone I feel comfortable talking to.""You have an accent and aren't from around here. It resonated with me because neither am I.""You talk kind of fast. Me too. I think we'd work well together.""These are things they wouldn't have gleaned from reading my bio. They felt a connection from seeing the video."Key Takeaway:"Authenticity matters and people resonate with authenticity. I don't want to show up as someone I'm not and attract a client attracted to that not version of me. It's not going to be good work."Work with Dr. Brittany Bate: Be Bold Psychology: BeBoldPsychNC.comBold Practice Builders: BoldPracticeBuilders.comWork with Velasquez Media: velasquezmedia.comhello@velasquezmedia.com#LGBTQIAMentalHealth #UnconsciousBias #InclusiveLeadership #QueerAffirming #MentalHealthMatters #AuthenticityInBusiness #DEITraining #RepresentationMatters #ChangeTheReel #NeurodivergentSupportCHANGE THE REEL with Piper and MoniqueLinkedIn:Apple Podcast:SpotifyYoutubeExecutive Producers: Monique Velasquez and Piper KesslerProducer: Arielle MortenDirector/Editor: Simon Beery/Meredith Sause/Alyssa D'AvanzoCopyright 2026 Monique & Piper
