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.

Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor
Navigating transitioning and self-questioning can be overwhelming. The fear and hesitation of making a decision that may have biopsychosocial repercussions are understandable and deserve validation - let me support your self-exploration and learn with you more about your unique self 🙂

Rachael Burnett
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), MACP
Finding a therapist who truly gets it can make all the difference. As a queer-identifying psychotherapist, I work to create a grounded, non-judgmental space where you can explore every part of your story. Whether you are navigating identity questions, family dynamics, or simply want to connect with LGBTQ+ joy and community, we will work together at a pace that feels right for you.

Registered Psychotherapist, MSc, CCC, RMFT, RSW, RP
Talking about sex, sexuality, and gender can be a stressful thing, even with loved ones that you fully trust. We work with individuals, couples, triads/tripods, quads and all relationships by creating a safe and shame-free environment. Helping clients seek out what blocks them from being able to explore all aspects of their preferred ways of living, loving, and seeking desire. We strive to help clients build deeper connections with themselves and others in their sexual relationships as well as creating a safe space to work through sexual concerns. Some examples of topics discussed in sex therapy include: low desire, sexual trauma, post-affair intimacy, exploring kinks/fantasies, and navigating open relationships (not all are listed here). Our therapists can help you identify the roots of your struggles and create a custom treatment plan to overcome them. Head over to our website to learn more!
As a passionate allies to the LGBTQ2+ community, we also walk alongside clients as they explore what it means from them to embody their preferred gender, sexuality, and sexual orientation. We believe strongly in helping those disenfranchised from their powers and rights, and strive to create a safe and respectful space for people to explore who they are. Our therapists can help you identify the roots of your struggles and create a custom treatment plan to overcome them. Head over to our website to learn more!

Kate E. Stephenson
Life Coach, ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), Holistic Life, Career & Executive
My personal belief and my coaching ethos is that you are a whole, creative, resourceful person as you are, right now. That is a belief that is being challenged ad nauseam in the current climate. Assuming nothing, as a Holistic Life Coach, I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space to speak your truth, be who you are, and figure out what you want from life without anyone else's input, influence, or expectations. While this is true for everyone, it can be an even more powerful experience for those of us who feel silenced and rendered invisible in any aspect of our lives. I am NOT offering therapy, but coaching can absolutely complement and supplement your therapy work. Instead, I offer a toolbox of methods, approaches, and experiments that most therapists do not. Tools designed to help you embrace your success without apology; create ease in a world of hardship; center yourself and ground in your own wisdom; and come into agreement with yourself regardless of the dissonance of others.
