Nicholas Breitenbach
Psychologist, R. Psych, CST, MA, BA
I provide an affirming, judgment-free space for LGBTQ+ clients to explore identity, relationships, sexuality, family dynamics, faith/culture stress, and the impact of minority stress without having to “explain yourself” the whole session. Whether you’re navigating coming out, gender exploration, intimacy concerns, relationship conflict, or healing from shame and rejection, we’ll focus on building self-trust, stronger boundaries, and relationships that feel safe, mutual, and authentic.

Penelope (Penny) Yen
Psychologist, BA (Hons), MACP, Registered Provisional Psychologist
There is plenty of scientific research providing evidence that there are variations among people that can’t be determined by their genitalia. Humanity is a continuum and I will not judge you for not conforming to the binary defaults. Know that you will always be safe to be yourself with me.
