Monika Georgieva
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
I believe that as people, we thrive when we fully live out who we are and when we experience connections that are embracing of our unique qualities. I understand that for many, including members of the LGBTQ2A+ community, opportunities for authentic connection and expression are oftentimes denied, minimized, and challenged, at various levels by various systems of oppression. As a therapist, it is my hope to create a safe and welcoming space in which you feel seen, heard, and appreciated so that together, we can explore your experiences and struggles, and help you to feel empowered in your authentic self and relationships. Contact me or book a free consultation if you wish to learn more.

Mélanie Pelletier Schrauwers
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CTP Dipl
Whether you’re exploring your identity, coming out, navigating relationships, or carrying the weight of not feeling fully accepted, I can provide a private space where you don’t have to explain or defend who you are. My practice is built on a diverse, equity-informed lens, and we’ll make room for every part of you, including the parts that have learned to stay hidden or guarded. I work with adults in English or in French, and you set the pace and the direction of our work together.

Barbara Freedman
Pre-Licensed Professional, M.Ed., OAMHP(Ontario Association of Mental Health Professionals-2704-G)
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.
