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.

Ekta Abhay Lather
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
LGBT issues encompass a wide range of topics related to the rights, experiences, and challenges faced by individuals in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community. Key issues include the fight for equal marriage rights, anti-discrimination protections in various aspects of life such as employment, housing, and healthcare, and the ongoing struggle against stigma and violence. Additionally, there are unique challenges for LGBTQ+ youth, including mental health concerns and the need for acceptance in schools and communities. Advocacy and education play crucial roles in promoting understanding and acceptance, fostering an inclusive society where everyone can live authentically and without fear of persecution. Openness, dialogue, and allyship are vital in supporting the rights and dignity of LGBTQ+ individuals.

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. Book a free 15-minute consultation with me to see if I’m the right fit for you.

Kai DeMaeyer - Talk with Kai - Intimacy and Identity
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP (Qualifying)
Queer and trans clients shouldn't need to spend therapy time explaining their lives to someone who's still catching up. I'm queer and nonbinary myself, and I work with 2SLGBTQ+ clients on identity, relationships, family, sexuality, and the specific kind of exhaustion that comes from navigating a world not built for you. This is a practice where you can take that particular weight off.

My approach is paced and identity-respecting, with awareness of how identity, neurodivergence, relationships, and self-worth often intersect in the patterns clients bring in.

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.

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.
