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.

Monika Georgieva
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
I believe that as people, we thrive when we fully live out who we are and when we experience connections that are embracing of our unique qualities. I understand that for many, including members of the LGBTQ2A+ community, opportunities for authentic connection and expression are oftentimes denied, minimized, and challenged, at various levels by various systems of oppression. As a therapist, it is my hope to create a safe and welcoming space in which you feel seen, heard, and appreciated so that together, we can explore your experiences and struggles, and help you to feel empowered in your authentic self and relationships. Contact me or book a free consultation if you wish to learn more.

Sharron Carson
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
I am passionate about equality and inclusiveness and believe that all people have the right to be their authentic selves and be celebrated for who they are. I have worked with LGBTQ+ individuals from ages 11 to 81 and consider it an honour to be a safe person for someone who isn’t feeling accepted or supported in their lives. My approach is always one of respect, non- judgement, and an openness to see you for who you are. I have supported clients who have not come out yet to those who are living as their authentic selves after transitioning to the gender that matches who they are inside. Wherever you are in your journey I would welcome the opportunity to support you in any way I can. Please book a free consultation if you would like to meet and tell me more about yourself.

Online in Ottawa, ON (Online Only)
Ottawa's identity as Canada's capital and a major hub for the federal public service creates a therapy landscape shaped by the particular stresses of government work — including bureaucratic frustration, political exposure, and the weight of careers lived in proximity to national policy decisions. The city's large bilingual population means both French- and English-speaking therapists are essential, with many practitioners offering services in both official languages. The Ottawa Hospital and Montfort Hospital provide institutional mental health resources alongside a private practice community serving the Glebe, Westboro, and Barrhaven areas. Ottawa's significant visible minority communities — including large Lebanese, Chinese, and Somali populations — drive growing demand for culturally affirming and multilingual therapists.
