Rebecca Goldstein, TuneinTherapy, ADHD | Trauma | Autism
Registered Social Worker, RSW, MSW, MTA, BMT, FAMI
LGBTQ+ experiences are deeply personal and shaped by far more than identity alone. Trauma, neurodivergence, relationships, family dynamics, self-discovery, masking, discrimination, safety, and the pressure to explain or defend who you are can all deeply impact mental health.
My approach is affirming, respectful, and grounded in creating a space where you can be real without needing to justify yourself. Together, we can explore identity, healing, relationships, self-trust, and the unique challenges you may be facing while honoring both your lived experience and the deeper patterns that may be affecting your wellbeing.

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.
