This study aims to reflect on a possible psychoanalytic clinic for the mental health
care of non-binary trans people, understanding the impacts of heterocisnormativity and the
pathologization of dissident identities in clinical settings. The research is based on the
recognition of the psychosocial and institutional vulnerabilities faced by the LGBTQIAPN+
population, especially regarding access to health services, and seeks to discuss how
Psychoanalysis can critically engage with these issues by considering social determinants.
Grounded in bibliographic review, the study proposes a critique of traditional psychoanalytic
discourses, still marked by binary and pathologizing conceptions of gender, in order to build
an ethical, singular, and politically committed space of listening and care. It draws on
contemporary authors and considers guidelines and policies aimed at promoting the integral
health of trans and non-binary populations. By proposing a clinic that acknowledges the
plurality of subjectivities, the study seeks to contribute to more inclusive and empowering
psychological practices.
