LGBTQ+

Reaching out for help? Easier said than done. Seeking mental health support requires unimaginable courage. Maybe you are even familiar with therapy, but your previous experiences left you feeling more alone. Perhaps it brought you even more pain or shame? They might not get how it feels to be LGBTQ+, but you will not have that problem with us. You should know that many of our providers are LGBTQ+-aligned themselves.

After traumatic experiences, some choose to never open up to another therapist again. Still, you’re here! You didn’t give up. You kept searching for someone that got you. We are  happy to tell you that you’re at the right place. Welcome, welcome, welcome!

With us, you will find sex-positive, inclusive, and queer-affirming care. Here, you’ll be listened to, understood, and cherished by simply being your extraordinary, unique self. There is no need to hold back your emotions or rationalize your presence. It is your right to be yourself without apology.

We provide a safe, judgment-free, comfy environment where you can voice your concerns and feel safe to be your true self. In a secure environment, you can explore profound emotions.

Therapy for LGBTQ+ folx

Navigating the challenges of identity, relationships, and self-acceptance can be complex, but you don’t have to face them alone. Our specialized queer therapists, Devon, Zara, and Sheena are trained to offer personalized care that resonates with your unique experiences. 

Therapy for Individuals

Whether exploring your sexual or gender identities, considering transition, facing discrimination, healing old wounds, or simply wanting a therapist who “gets it,” our one-on-one therapy is tailored to support your specific needs and goals.

Therapy for Couples and Families

Relationship dynamics can be multifaceted. Our couples therapy offers a safe space for LGBTQ+ couples and families to build stronger connections, communication, and understanding.

Therapy for Children and Youth

We offer specialized therapy for LGBTQ+ children and youth, focusing on self-acceptance, empowerment, and coping with any challenges they may face.

Support Before, During and After Transition

Transitioning is a profoundly personal experience. We offer therapy to support you both emotionally and psychologically throughout this life-changing process.

Our Nurse Psychotherapists work with clients in supporting their applications for gender-affirming surgery and can be second assessors for some surgical procedures. Our Founder and Owner was the first registered nurse to be a second assessor in Ontario and helped to advocate for OHIP coverage for gender-affirming surgery successfully!
