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.

Tanya Beach
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP (Qualifying)
Recognizing and affirming the unique experiences, challenges, and strengths of the 2SLGBTQI+ community is essential as many in the community face issues such as discrimination, internalized stigma, family rejection, and struggles with identity or coming out. These challenges can impact mental health, leading to feelings of isolation, anxiety, or depression. My role is to provide a supportive, non-judgmental space where individuals can explore their identities, process difficult emotions, and begin to heal from trauma. It's crucial to approach these issues with cultural humility and sensitivity while helping clients build resilience and feel empowered to live authentically.

Alessia Zita | Zita Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapy (Qualifying)
Do you often feel misunderstood, unseen, or pressured to hide parts of who you are? Many LGBTQ+ people grow up in environments where their identity, feelings, or relationships were minimized, invalidated, or discouraged. You may have learned to silence parts of yourself, navigate fear of judgment, or question your worth for being who you are.
These experiences are not a reflection of who you are—they are natural responses to navigating a world that isn’t always safe or accepting. What matters is how you honour your identity and process your experiences now. Together, we can explore your journey, build self-understanding and resilience, and support you in living more authentically—so you can feel more seen, grounded, and lighter in yourself. You are who you are for a reason. Let’s explore why, and what comes next.

Barbara Freedman
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor
I have offered LGBT clients my guidance and support through all stages of their transition process. In addition to being on the Quick Victim Response List for Ottawa Victim Services , my work with “The Well,” (a drop in day shelter for woman and children), along with my role as a Distant Counsellor on Presto Experts - (On-line Chat & Phone Counselling) afforded me the opportunity to work with many LGBTQ issues. The process of counselling this group has involved psychoeducation, along with reframing the discussion to a natural aspect of human diversity-along a continuum. I feel that my role in addition to normalizing clients' feelings, is to counsel them regarding the range of treatment options along with their implications. I have explored these members inner conflicts including those of internalized oppression. . One must understand their own internal process to be able to explain these to others. I have often heard the words echoed "How can I possibly explain this to other people when I cannot even explain it to myself." Self awareness involves discussing ones feeling brought on by guilt, and shame for wanting to be themselves and includes discussing fears of coming out . Resolution of these internal struggles allows them to further grow and develop their self identity. Self -understanding has an enormous impact on self actualization and identity reformation as well as managing intra-external conflicts. Having a stronger sense of self helps the individual better stand up to such conflicts posed by a non accepting family, work, or society.
A further task in helping the LGBT community is to be instrumental in assisting them in finding social support. Connecting with others, especially those in groups with similar emotions and issues is essential to belonging, and to decrease isolation.
I look forward to working with more LGBT clients to watch them grow and develop their unique self identity.

James "Jamie" Myslik
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, RSW
I've worked with 2SLGBTQIA+ folks for all of my eighteen-year career and am queer myself. While I've found queerness is rarely the central focus of the work folks want to to, it permeates our lives and often colours the primary issues folks do want to work with (such as our relationships with anxiety, hypervigilence, shame, etc); and with me folks have always appreciated not having to educate their counsellor about queerness.
