LGBTQ+ Issues
Sharron Carson
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
I am passionate about equality and inclusiveness and believe that all people have the right to be their authentic selves and be celebrated for who they are. I have worked with LGBTQ+ individuals from ages 11 to 81 and consider it an honour to be a safe person for someone who isn’t feeling accepted or supported in their lives. My approach is always one of respect, non- judgement, and an openness to see you for who you are. I have supported clients who have not come out yet to those who are living as their authentic selves after transitioning to the gender that matches who they are inside. Wherever you are in your journey I would welcome the opportunity to support you in any way I can. Please book a free consultation if you would like to meet and tell me more about yourself.

Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MACP, MSW, RSW, RP, RP(Q)
People who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, or other gender or sexual minorities often experience challenges that cis-gendered and heterosexual folks do not. These challenges may impact family, work, and social and intimate relationships. These include:
- Coming out: considering, preparing and processing
- Self-love and self-acceptance
- Processing related traumas: ie. bullying, discrimination, oppression, and homophobia
- Navigating complex family dynamics
- Exploring gender and sexual identity
- Exploring gender identity and sexual identity while in a relationship
- Career and workplace challenges
- Dating and marriage
- Body image concerns related to transitioning and gender identity
- Integrating cultural and religious identities
- Exploring polyamory, sex and kink
- Sexual health concerns/HIV/serodiscordant relationships
We also support family members who want to support their loved one and to process and accept their loved one's gender and sexual identity.
At New Moon Psychotherapy we understand the unique difficulties that come with diverse identities and intersections. Our therapists have specialized training and some have lived experience in the LGBTQ2S+ community. This offers a unique perspective and affirming, inclusive, and stigma-free support. We value the diversity of human identities and the fluidity of sexual and gender expression.
