Carlos "Charlie" Garcia
Registered Psychotherapist, RMHC, CCC, MSc, 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.

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.
