Donna McLean
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, BA Honours (Psychology), MSW, RSW
I am a cisgender female with experience working with people in the LGBTQ+ community. I am a compassionate and accepting listener and make an effort to ask questions so I can understand your experience, rather than assume. While I am familiar with common challenges LGBTQ+ people may have, I also believe we are each unique and have our own experience. I will work with you to identify your goals and mutually agree on the therapeutic approach that works for you.

Viewpoint Calgary Psychological Services
Psychologist, RPsych
Navigating a world that wasn't built with your identity in mind can be exhausting. When you constantly face minority stress, societal stigma, or the uncertainty of coming out, simply being your authentic self can feel like a daily act of endurance. You shouldn't have to explain, defend, or justify who you are to receive compassionate, effective care.
At Viewpoint Psychological Services in Calgary, our clinical team offers a warm, fully affirming, and confidential space dedicated to the LGBTQIA2S+ community. We recognize that your identity is a source of strength, not something to be fixed or questioned. Using inclusive, evidence-based therapy, we tailor our support to your unique lived experience so you can feel completely seen, valued, and supported.
Together, we’ll help you:
- Explore & Celebrate Identity: Navigate questions around gender identity, sexual orientation, and self-expression in a space strictly free from assumptions or judgment.
- Navigate Minority Stress: Process the heavy impacts of discrimination, invalidation, or family dynamics while building sustainable personal resilience and safety.
- Cultivate Pride & Deep Well-Being: Strengthen healthy communication in relationships, navigate community connections, and foster a grounded sense of self-acceptance and confidence.
You deserve a space where you can let down your guard and thrive exactly as you are. Let’s partner together to help you step out of survival mode and build a life filled with pride, connection, and joy.

Transforming Emotions
Psychologist
Sometimes, it just feels important to work with someone who gets it. As a Gen-Xer who came out in my 20s, it is important to me to lead a queer positive team. At Transforming Emotions, all of our therapists are queer positive. Whether you are questioning your sexuality or gender identity, working on coming out to loved ones, or are just living your life and wanting to work with a therapist who doesn’t make more of your queerness than you do, we’re here for you. We welcome all members of the 2SLGBTQIA+. Book your free consultation now to help us find the right therapist for you.

North Star Therapy-- Cleo Haber
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
We value authenticity and seek to help our clients settle into their healing journey without judgement. We have experience working with clients who are exploring their sexual identity, gender, navigating new relationships, or struggling to thrive in a heteronormative world. We aim to facilitate a safe exploration of your emotions, experiences and thoughts, as we know the value of being heard, seen and witnessed. In psychotherapy, we may explore issues pertaining to family, community, safety, identity, self-acceptance, and living life outside the mainstream narrative.
