Regina D'cruz
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
I provide a queer-affirmative and accepting space with an emphasis on understanding intersectionalities – of being queer and also being an immigrant, a person of colour, a woman, or someone from a lower socio-economic background. I've worked with the queer community, supporting teens and young adults at various stages of their journeys. The challenges queer folks face include internalised homophobia or transphobia, coming out to oneself and loved ones, self-acceptance, and exploring sexuality. Many grapple with hiding their true identity, facing loneliness, safety concerns, fear of rejection, and the risk of homelessness or higher suicide rates. Additionally, navigating cultural and religious beliefs and seeking acceptance within both the queer and heteronormative communities can be daunting. I'm here to help you cultivate the tools to navigate these complex experiences.

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.

Social stigma and oppressive narratives can significantly impact LGBTQ2IA+ folks, be a significant source of stress and anxiety, and lead to other mental health challenges. As a therapist working with individuals facing issues related to their experiences as part of the LGBTQ2IA+ community, I seek to provide a safe and inclusive space to explore your thoughts and feelings. Additionally, I strive to provide a space where you can better understand your unique experiences and how you might be impacted by oppressive systems and narratives and provide you with the opportunity to explore your strengths and work towards healing.
