Carl Conradi
Counsellor/Therapist, CCC, MSc, MBA
As a proudly bisexual cis-male, I'm a passionate advocate of mental wellbeing in the LGBTQIA+ community. Indeed, my own lived experience has shown me that our needs, interests, capacities, challenges, and culture are oftentimes different from those of our cis-het brothers and sisters. At the same time, we are all of us completely unique individuals: my bisexuality isn't likely to be your bisexuality, and my masculinity isn't likely to be your masculinity. I seek to honour the person that you are - in your entirety - without ever assuming that I know what it's like to be you.

Forouz Salari
Registered Social Worker, MA, MSW, RSW
It's not easy being a queer or trans (2SLGBTQIA+) person who lives and works in systems, institutions and communities that were historically created by and for cis-gender, heterosexual people. You may be feeling ignored, silenced, excluded, outcast or unsafe. You may be struggling to have equitable access to the same rights, freedoms, resources and opportunities as your cis-gender heterosexual peers.
Through these experiences, many queer and trans folks often feel unsafe, misunderstood, unwanted, outraged, confused, and isolated!
Over time, it's easy to internalize others' prejudiced attitudes and discriminatory actions, which can negatively affect your self-perceptions, confidence, self-worth, health and wellbeing, connections to others, and the opportunities that you allow yourself to pursue.
Let's work together to:
Disentangle yourself from unrealistic, oppressive and exclusionary societal expectations, norms and standards.
Clarify your unique identities, strengths, needs, boundaries and goals.
Practice self-acceptance, self-compassion and self-advocacy.
Create nourishing and fulfilling connections with supportive and inclusive communities.

Rachel Brennan
Registered Psychotherapist, B.Sc., M.A., Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
As an empathetic and modern therapist and a proud ally of the LGBT community, I am committed to providing inclusive and affirming mental health support. I understand the unique challenges and experiences faced by individuals within the LGBT community, from navigating identity issues to coping with discrimination and societal pressures. My approach is rooted in creating a safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and goals freely. Together, we'll work on addressing mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, or issues related to gender identity and sexual orientation. I am here to validate your experiences, advocate for your well-being, and empower you to embrace your authentic self. Let's collaborate on a journey of self-discovery, healing, and resilience, celebrating the strength and diversity of who you are.
