Dr. Kayden Vargas (they/he) - From Conservative Christian to Nonbinary Psychologist
TW: Brief references to CSA
Dr. Kayden Vargas (they/he) is a trans nonbinary poet, parent, and psychologist located in the traditional homelands of the Yakama Nation. Their poetry revolves around themes of small-town living, bicultural/bilingual/biracial life, trauma healing, and trans identity. Their clinical specialties include gender affirming healthcare, eating disorders, religious trauma, and queer psychosocial development.
Kayden also works as an Assistant Professor of Psychology at Heritage University, a small not-for-profit university that is both a Hispanic-Serving-Institution and Native American Non-Tribal Serving institution, located in Toppenish, WA.
Dr. Vargas will be joining me at the Shameless Sexuality: Life After Purity Culture online conference this May, on the topic of: Healing Beyond the Binary: Transgender expansiveness, sexualities, and overcoming religious residue.
