Sage Ariel Seguin
Registered Psychotherapist, QRP, MACP
I offer affirming therapy and work with clients across the LGBTQIA+ community as an ally — including bisexual, gay, lesbian, non-binary, queer, and transgender clients. My approach is paced and identity-respecting, with awareness of how identity, neurodivergence, relationships, and self-worth often intersect in the patterns clients bring in. Sessions are a space to show up fully, without having to perform or explain.

LGBTQIA2S+ folks have struggled so much to feel love, acceptance, and support on individual, social, and global scales. Our communities have faced so much violence. Your experience as a queer person is unique and meaningful, and I am a therapist who is able to understand and work through the many complex challenges that come up with our gender, sexual, and romantic identities. Whether you're struggling to feel a part o the queer community, struggling to come out, struggling to be accepted by family, or just needing a therapist that "gets it," we can work through this together.

Barbara Freedman
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor
I have offered LGBT clients my guidance and support through all stages of their transition process. In addition to being on the Quick Victim Response List for Ottawa Victim Services , my work with “The Well,” (a drop in day shelter for woman and children), along with my role as a Distant Counsellor on Presto Experts - (On-line Chat & Phone Counselling) afforded me the opportunity to work with many LGBTQ issues. The process of counselling this group has involved psychoeducation, along with reframing the discussion to a natural aspect of human diversity-along a continuum. I feel that my role in addition to normalizing clients' feelings, is to counsel them regarding the range of treatment options along with their implications. I have explored these members inner conflicts including those of internalized oppression. . One must understand their own internal process to be able to explain these to others. I have often heard the words echoed "How can I possibly explain this to other people when I cannot even explain it to myself." Self awareness involves discussing ones feeling brought on by guilt, and shame for wanting to be themselves and includes discussing fears of coming out . Resolution of these internal struggles allows them to further grow and develop their self identity. Self -understanding has an enormous impact on self actualization and identity reformation as well as managing intra-external conflicts. Having a stronger sense of self helps the individual better stand up to such conflicts posed by a non accepting family, work, or society.
A further task in helping the LGBT community is to be instrumental in assisting them in finding social support. Connecting with others, especially those in groups with similar emotions and issues is essential to belonging, and to decrease isolation.
I look forward to working with more LGBT clients to watch them grow and develop their unique self identity.

Nathan Kretzschmar
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Therapy can be a place to explore identity, relationships, belonging, shame, family dynamics, spirituality, and the impact of societal stress without having to shrink or explain yourself. I offer an affirming, respectful space for LGBTQ+ clients, while remaining transparent about the areas where another provider may offer more specialized lived or clinical expertise.
