Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, LMHC, CCC, MSc, MBA, CCTP
I work with adults of all genders and sexual orientations, gay, straight, bi, queer, transgender, non-binary. I work with you.
If you’re LGBTQIA+ and navigating anxiety, identity questions, relationship challenges, family dynamics, or just trying to feel more at home in yourself and your body, this is a space where you don’t have to explain or filter who you are. You can show up as you are.
Together, we’ll focus on what you’re actually going through, what you need, and how to help you feel more grounded, more clear, and more connected to yourself.

Ekta Abhay Lather
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
LGBT issues encompass a wide range of topics related to the rights, experiences, and challenges faced by individuals in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community. Key issues include the fight for equal marriage rights, anti-discrimination protections in various aspects of life such as employment, housing, and healthcare, and the ongoing struggle against stigma and violence. Additionally, there are unique challenges for LGBTQ+ youth, including mental health concerns and the need for acceptance in schools and communities. Advocacy and education play crucial roles in promoting understanding and acceptance, fostering an inclusive society where everyone can live authentically and without fear of persecution. Openness, dialogue, and allyship are vital in supporting the rights and dignity of LGBTQ+ individuals.
