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.

Franklynn Bartol
Pre-Licensed Professional, RP (Qualifying), MSc, MA
I work with many queer and transgender clients. Although my lived experiences as a non-binary and queer person will help me empathize with you, I place high importance on attending to intersectionality and individuality in each person's experiences. Before training as a therapist, I worked in LGBTQ+ spaces as a peer support worker and studied Gender Studies in grad school. These experiences have helped me gain a wide appreciation for the diversity of issues, traumas, barriers, joys, chosen family, and relationships that exist in our communities. I'm kink and sex worker positive and am comfortably familiar with ethical non-monogamy relationship styles.
