MEET RABIA: OUR NEW BEHAVIORAL HEALTH THERAPIST
Rabia provides individual and family therapy to our Pride Clinic patients thanks to the generous support from the Northrop Grumman Foundation. Prior to this role, Rabia was the program manager at Inova’s Behavioral Health Central Access Program and an emergency room psychiatric social worker. During her graduate studies, she was an assistant at the LGBTQ+ Resource Center at George Mason University.

COMPASSIONATE CARE: A PRIDE CLINIC PATIENT STORY
Sofia (pseudonym), a 62-year old trans woman came to the clinic following multiple medical complications, including heart attacks and strokes brought on by extremely high and dangerous doses of estrogen that were not managed by a clinician. She had experienced severe medical neglect and trauma due to discrimination as a trans woman. Sofia had not received adequate care for more than ten years.
Now with team care at the Pride Clinic, she has slowly regained trust in the healthcare system and is taking better care of her health. She has reduced her smoking, completed medical appointments and behavioral therapy sessions, and is decreasing her estrogen; changes that are the result of customized, coordinated care planning. Her care team has also referred her to additional social support programs in her community.

The Pride Clinic team works with many patients like Sofia to reduce the risk of disease and premature death by supporting them to make safer choices while remaining nonjudgmental and affirming. Sofia's story is one of many that are a testament to the need for medical homes like ours that provide safe and patient-centered coordinated care for our LGBTQ+ neighbors.
