Headway Mental Health
Registered Psychotherapist, Joshua Dvorkin, MPsy, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying),
As a dedicated therapist, I specialize in providing support and guidance to individuals navigating the unique challenges and experiences associated with LGBTQ+ identities. With a deep understanding of the complex and diverse issues faced by the LGBTQ+ community, I offer a safe and affirming space where clients can explore their feelings, identity, and relationships.
I am passionate about promoting LGBTQ+ affirmative therapy, recognizing and honoring the unique experiences, concerns, and strengths of each individual I work with. Whether you are questioning your sexual orientation or gender identity, coping with discrimination, or seeking support for relationship and family dynamics, I am here to walk alongside you on your journey.
Using an empathetic and non-judgmental approach, I tailor therapy to meet your specific needs, creating a space where you can freely express yourself and explore the challenges and triumphs of your LGBTQ+ identity. I understand the importance of fostering a sense of belonging, self-acceptance, and empowerment, and I strive to empower you to live authentically and confidently.
Through our therapeutic work together, we can address a range of issues, including coming out, internalized homophobia/transphobia, relationship concerns, family dynamics, mental health challenges, and navigating societal pressures. As a Queer therapist I provide a supportive environment where you can process your experiences, build resilience, and develop healthy coping strategies.
I am committed to staying informed about the latest research, resources, and best practices in LGBTQ+ affirmative therapy, ensuring that you receive the most up-to-date and relevant support. My goal is to help you navigate the complexities of your LGBTQ+ identity, fostering personal growth, self-compassion, and a strong sense of self-worth.
No matter where you are on your journey, I am here to provide compassionate, affirming, and culturally sensitive therapy. Together, we will work towards enhancing your well-being, fostering meaningful connections, and empowering you to live a fulfilling and authentic life as your truest self.

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.

Licensed Professional Counsellor, Canadian Certified Counsellor, MPS, MTS
I am here to support you on your gender and identity journey – whether that means exploring and understanding your own emerging identity; navigating challenges of being authentic within your family, friends, or spiritual community; learning to live out and proud; or navigating the nuances of living in a binary-breaking way. I provide a queer-affirming, safe, and nonjudgmental space for you to be who you are, so that you and your story may be held with compassion, curiosity, and celebration.
