LGBTQ+ Issues
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.

Abby Rizzolo
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC
Much of my work is with queer folks navigating relationships, identities, transitions, and all the regular ups and downs of life. As a queer therapist, I work alongside my clients to challenge oppressive systems and support you in living a more fulfilling life. I have specific training for working with queer and 2SLGBTQIA+ communities, as well as my own personal experiences as a bisexual agender/woman.

Louis Lin, Owner & Founder of Cicada Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor
I identify as part of the queer community. In addition to pursuing and completing my Master's in 2023, I have over 5 years of experience supporting gay, bi, and queer men and gender-diverse folks through a non-profit organization. I carry the sex and kink-positive, non-judgmental, and harm-reduction philosophy into all of my work.

Kai DeMaeyer, Talk with Kai Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP (Q)
Queer and trans clients shouldn't need to spend therapy time explaining their lives to someone who's still catching up. I'm queer and nonbinary myself, and I work with 2SLGBTQ+ clients on identity, relationships, family, sexuality, and the specific kind of exhaustion that comes from navigating a world not built for you. This is a practice where you can take that particular weight off.

LGBTQ+ Issues
Chris Graham
Psychologist, Registered Psychologist
I enjoy working with folks who are curious to explore their gender identity and expression, curious about transition, or contemplating their sexuality. I have worked with folks as they consider transitioning, provided referrals for folks to begin hormone replacement therapies and gender affirming surgeries, and made sense of the way gender works for them. I have enjoyed holding space for folks considering their sexuality identities, making sense of the types of sex they would like to have and the identities they would like to hold.

LGBTQ+ Issues
Clayre Sessoms
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC, ATR-BC
Navigating a world built on cisnormative structures means that dealing with LGBTQ+ issues is often an exhausting exercise in daily survival, but therapy should also be a space to cultivate gender euphoria. I arrive at this work with you with my own lived experience as a genderflux, queer femme (she/they). My virtual counselling practice in Vancouver, BC and across Canada offers a deeply affirming, non-gatekeeping space where you never have to translate your identity to be understood. We will work relationally to hold the weight of systemic macro-aggressions, fostering a slow, embodied space of absolute resonance and solidarity.

LGBTQ+ Issues
Ajay Sahota
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC (Registered Clinical Counsellor)
LGBTQ+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning, +) persons may encounter specific challenges (e.g., oppression and discrimination) related to their sexual orientation. These challenges may include norms and beliefs of family members, friends, church, and cultural customs. Social and cultural norms sometimes conflict with your own values, that of other cultures you belong to, and a sense of who you are.
Some communities maintain entrenched beliefs and stereotypes of LGBTQ+ persons. In those cases, there may be resistance to accept you because you do not meet certain cultural expectations. As a result, a LGBTQ+ person may feel shame, and low self-esteem and self-worth. These feelings can lead to depression and anxiety and you may withdraw from others to protect yourself from hurt and feel lonely at the same time.
When you grow up around negative attitudes or discrimination against a group people for their sexuality or gender, it may also be difficult to accept and express yourself for who you truly are. You may find it difficult to be curious about, and explore, your sexuality and identity. As a South Asian born man (he/him) in a second-generation immigrant family in Canada, I understand some of the complexities of culture, sexuality, and gender expression.
I am excited to support you on this journey. I celebrate and stand with you as a LGBTQ+ person.
