I identify as queer. I don't have a monopoly on "getting:" it, not in the least, but I will promise to listen and strive to understand what your experience is. I will strive to relationally "be with" you as I help you process experiences of discrimination, trauma or simply the ups and downs of events and relationships of daily life,

Synergetic Healing Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Navigating life as an LGBTQ+ individual in a heteronormative society comes with unique challenges. Social isolation can be particularly challenging, as some individuals experience rejection from their families or communities, leading to a sense of disconnection. The lack of visibility and representation in media and public life further compounds these feelings of invisibility and marginalization.
Not only are healthcare disparities prevalent, but many LGBTQ+ individuals face limited access to LGBTQ+ inclusive healthcare services, resulting in disparities in healthcare outcomes. All these aspects can impact mental and emotional well-being significantly.
In our therapy sessions, I provide a safe and affirming space to address these concerns. We'll work on strategies to combat social isolation, strengthen self-acceptance, and address the lack of visibility. Furthermore, we can explore healthcare disparities, ensuring you have the support and resources necessary for your overall well-being. My aim is to empower you to thrive, offering guidance and support as you navigate the path to self-acceptance, emotional health, and fulfillment in a society that may not always fully understand your unique experiences. As an individual who has and continues to struggle with lived experience as an LG[B]T member, I encourage you to reach out to someone who gets it.

Clare Karasik
Registered Social Worker, MSW, BSW, RSW
As a queer psychotherapist, I support folks struggling with how they navigate their world as part of the LGBTTQQ+ community. I recognize how valuable it can feel to be seen, heard, witness, validated, and understood in a world in which we so often are not. I strive to create the safest place possible for folks to explore issues that arise related to their gender identity or sexual orientation. In psychotherapy, we may explore issues pertaining to family, community, safety, identity, self-acceptance, and living life outside the mainstream narrative.
