Alison Taylor
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, GIT.Dip, CAPT, CRPO
From birth, we begin selfing: forming our sense of self through our responses to our own internal sensations, as well as how we interact with our environment/others, and how the environment/others respond to us. We receive implicit and explicit messages from the environment/others about how we’re allowed to be in order to belong, and how we’re *not* allowed to be. We learn to make ourselves more acceptable in order to survive. This process of selfing is crucial in our early life, but it doesn’t stop just because we grow up. We continue identifying (as a verb, not a noun!) throughout adulthood, with the possibility of remaining flexible and available even as we get more clear about who we are.
Exploring your identity, relationships, and sense of self as an LGBTQIA+ person can be deeply meaningful, and at times, complex or challenging, depending on what you learned about how it is possible for you to be in the world, and how the world responds to you. You may be navigating questions of belonging, visibility, safety, or internalized messages about who you’re “allowed” to be.
In our work together, we bring curiosity and kindness to exploring how these experiences live in your body, your emotions, and your relationships. We move at your pace, creating a space where you can show up as you are, taking note of and questioning any perceived judgements or pressures to fit a particular narrative. As you build awareness and self-trust, many people discover a growing sense of freedom: the more you allow yourself to be exactly who you are, the more space opens for connection, aliveness, and authenticity in your life.

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.

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.
