Penelope (Penny) Yen
Psychologist, BA (Hons), MACP, Registered Provisional Psychologist
There is plenty of scientific research providing evidence that there are variations among people that can’t be determined by their genitalia. Humanity is a continuum and I will not judge you for not conforming to the binary defaults. Know that you will always be safe to be yourself with me.

Chris Graham
Psychologist, Registered Psychologist
I enjoy working with folks who are curious to explore their gender identity and expression, curious about transition, or contemplating their sexuality. I have worked with folks as they consider transitioning, provided referrals for folks to begin hormone replacement therapies and gender affirming surgeries, and made sense of the way gender works for them. I have enjoyed holding space for folks considering their sexuality identities, making sense of the types of sex they would like to have and the identities they would like to hold.

Kate E. Stephenson
Life Coach, ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), Holistic Life, Career & Executive
My personal belief and my coaching ethos is that you are a whole, creative, resourceful person as you are, right now. That is a belief that is being challenged ad nauseam in the current climate. Assuming nothing, as a Holistic Life Coach, I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space to speak your truth, be who you are, and figure out what you want from life without anyone else's input, influence, or expectations. While this is true for everyone, it can be an even more powerful experience for those of us who feel silenced and rendered invisible in any aspect of our lives. I am NOT offering therapy, but coaching can absolutely complement and supplement your therapy work. Instead, I offer a toolbox of methods, approaches, and experiments that most therapists do not. Tools designed to help you embrace your success without apology; create ease in a world of hardship; center yourself and ground in your own wisdom; and come into agreement with yourself regardless of the dissonance of others.

Viewpoint Calgary Psychological Services
Psychologist, RPsych
Navigating a world that wasn't built with your identity in mind can be exhausting. When you constantly face minority stress, societal stigma, or the uncertainty of coming out, simply being your authentic self can feel like a daily act of endurance. You shouldn't have to explain, defend, or justify who you are to receive compassionate, effective care.
At Viewpoint Psychological Services in Calgary, our clinical team offers a warm, fully affirming, and confidential space dedicated to the LGBTQIA2S+ community. We recognize that your identity is a source of strength, not something to be fixed or questioned. Using inclusive, evidence-based therapy, we tailor our support to your unique lived experience so you can feel completely seen, valued, and supported.
Together, we’ll help you:
- Explore & Celebrate Identity: Navigate questions around gender identity, sexual orientation, and self-expression in a space strictly free from assumptions or judgment.
- Navigate Minority Stress: Process the heavy impacts of discrimination, invalidation, or family dynamics while building sustainable personal resilience and safety.
- Cultivate Pride & Deep Well-Being: Strengthen healthy communication in relationships, navigate community connections, and foster a grounded sense of self-acceptance and confidence.
You deserve a space where you can let down your guard and thrive exactly as you are. Let’s partner together to help you step out of survival mode and build a life filled with pride, connection, and joy.

Samira Gholami
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor
Everyone deserves to feel accepted, respected, and comfortable being their authentic self. Yet navigating sexual orientation, gender identity, relationships, or questions of belonging can sometimes feel complicated, particularly when family expectations, cultural traditions, or societal pressures make it difficult to express who you truly are. You may be exploring your identity, considering coming out, experiencing discrimination, or struggling to find acceptance and understanding in your relationships.
As a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC), I offer compassionate, LGBTQ+ affirming counselling for adolescents and adults seeking a supportive, non-judgmental space to explore their experiences. My approach is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and grounded in respect for each person's identity, autonomy, and lived experiences.
My professional development includes training in supporting transgender and gender-diverse youth, strengthening my awareness of the unique challenges LGBTQ+ individuals may encounter. I recognize that experiences of identity and belonging can be deeply influenced by family dynamics, cultural backgrounds, community relationships, and personal beliefs.
Together, we can explore concerns related to self-acceptance, anxiety, relationships, family conflict, identity development, discrimination, and emotional well-being. Whether you're questioning aspects of your identity or simply looking for a counsellor who respects and understands your experiences, our work will be guided by your needs, values, and goals.
You should never feel pressured to disclose, explain, or change who you are before you're ready. My goal is to provide a welcoming environment where you can strengthen your confidence, develop healthy boundaries, and build meaningful connections while remaining true to yourself.
I offer affordable counselling in English and Farsi and would welcome the opportunity to support you in navigating life's challenges with greater self-compassion, confidence, and authenticity.

Clayre Sessoms
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC, ATR-BC
Navigating a world built on cisnormative structures means that dealing with LGBTQ+ issues is often an exhausting exercise in daily survival, but therapy should also be a space to cultivate gender euphoria. I arrive at this work with you with my own lived experience as a genderflux, queer femme (she/they). My virtual counselling practice in Vancouver, BC and across Canada offers a deeply affirming, non-gatekeeping space where you never have to translate your identity to be understood. We will work relationally to hold the weight of systemic macro-aggressions, fostering a slow, embodied space of absolute resonance and solidarity.
