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.
