Tanya Beach
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP (Qualifying)
Recognizing and affirming the unique experiences, challenges, and strengths of the 2SLGBTQI+ community is essential as many in the community face issues such as discrimination, internalized stigma, family rejection, and struggles with identity or coming out. These challenges can impact mental health, leading to feelings of isolation, anxiety, or depression. My role is to provide a supportive, non-judgmental space where individuals can explore their identities, process difficult emotions, and begin to heal from trauma. It's crucial to approach these issues with cultural humility and sensitivity while helping clients build resilience and feel empowered to live authentically. Book a free 15-minute consultation with me to see if I’m the right fit for you.

Alison Taylor
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, GIT.Dip, CAPT, CRPO
From birth, we begin selfing: forming our sense of self through our responses to our own internal sensations, as well as how we interact with our environment/others, and how the environment/others respond to us. We receive implicit and explicit messages from the environment/others about how we’re allowed to be in order to belong, and how we’re *not* allowed to be. We learn to make ourselves more acceptable in order to survive. This process of selfing is crucial in our early life, but it doesn’t stop just because we grow up. We continue identifying (as a verb, not a noun!) throughout adulthood, with the possibility of remaining flexible and available even as we get more clear about who we are.
Exploring your identity, relationships, and sense of self as an LGBTQIA+ person can be deeply meaningful, and at times, complex or challenging, depending on what you learned about how it is possible for you to be in the world, and how the world responds to you. You may be navigating questions of belonging, visibility, safety, or internalized messages about who you’re “allowed” to be.
In our work together, we bring curiosity and kindness to exploring how these experiences live in your body, your emotions, and your relationships. We move at your pace, creating a space where you can show up as you are, taking note of and questioning any perceived judgements or pressures to fit a particular narrative. As you build awareness and self-trust, many people discover a growing sense of freedom: the more you allow yourself to be exactly who you are, the more space opens for connection, aliveness, and authenticity in your life.
