Emmy Montemurro-Baxter
Registered Psychotherapist, MScEd, RP, RMFT
I see sexuality and gender as occurring on a spectrum. I offer a safe therapeutic space and I am sensitive to the unique challenges faced by the LGBTQ+ community. These challenges are made more difficult when living in a heteronormative society. I am committed to supporting individuals, couples and families whatever challenges they may be endeavouring to resolve. I embrace diversity and I will be a supportive in the exploration of sexuality and gender, and polyamorous relationships.

Our practice centers on creating a safe and affirming space where individuals can explore their identities, experiences, and challenges within a supportive and understanding environment.

Our practice is grounded in the belief that everyone deserves to feel accepted, supported, and validated in their journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance.
