Aaron Chin
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, MA, RCC
When working with LGBT issues, I like to start with some mindfulness around the issue to gain a deeper understanding of the experience, from here there are many options, and I rely of the client's wisdom to guide me.

Charlie Young
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC #22791
I'm a queer and trans RCC providing virtual therapy across BC, specializing in gender-affirming care, hormone readiness assessments, and identity exploration. Many people come for transition support and readiness letters; others for trauma, depression, anxiety, BPD, anger, or bipolar — any topic is welcome, and you can bring something specific or start with the sense that something is off and we'll work it out from there. Often our environments don't support us the way we need them to, and I help name that context rather than treating it as a problem arising within you. Sessions are 50 minutes by secure video, longer sessions available, and I'll use your name and pronouns from our first contact. Hormone readiness assessments are $300 — some prescribers require a letter and many in BC do not, so check with yours before booking, and during the free 15-minute consult we'll talk about what brings you to counselling and how I can help.

Julie Thomason | BC Therapy Co. | Sex Therapy & Supervision
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC-ACS, PhD Candidate Clinical Sexology
Are you looking for a therapist who truly understands and welcomes you as you are? If you identify as LGBTQIA2S+ or fall within the GSRD (Gender, Sexuality, and Relationship Diversity) category, you're welcome here. I bring both lived and clinical experience to this work, along with advanced and ongoing training in sex therapy. I support people across the full range of gender identities, sexual orientations, and relationship structures, including those who are ethically non-monogamous or kinky, as they navigate mental health, trauma, ADHD, sexuality, and relationships. I have openings right now and would love to hear from you.

Havenwood Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Your identity should not have to be something you hide or explain away in therapy. Questions around identity, belonging, relationships, family expectations, discrimination, and coming out can bring unique challenges. Therapy should be a place where you can show up authentically and feel respected.
Taylor welcomes clients navigating 2SLGBTQIA+ identities, identity questions, discrimination, belonging, and cultural expectations. Her approach is warm, culturally responsive, and focused on helping you reconnect with yourself and build confidence in who you are.
