Rachel Brennan

As an empathetic and modern therapist and a proud ally of the LGBT community, I am committed to providing inclusive and affirming mental health support. I understand the unique challenges and experiences faced by individuals within the LGBT community, from navigating identity issues to coping with discrimination and societal pressures. My approach is rooted in creating a safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and goals freely. Together, we'll work on addressing mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, or issues related to gender identity and sexual orientation. I am here to validate your experiences, advocate for your well-being, and empower you to embrace your authentic self. Let's collaborate on a journey of self-discovery, healing, and resilience, celebrating the strength and diversity of who you are.

Bree Bonanno
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Navigating life as an LGBTQ+ individual in a heteronormative society comes with unique challenges. Social isolation can be particularly challenging, as some individuals experience rejection from their families or communities, leading to a sense of disconnection. The lack of visibility and representation in media and public life further compounds these feelings of invisibility and marginalization.
Not only are healthcare disparities prevalent, but many LGBTQ+ individuals face limited access to LGBTQ+ inclusive healthcare services, resulting in disparities in healthcare outcomes. All these aspects can impact mental and emotional well-being significantly.
In our therapy sessions, I provide a safe and affirming space to address these concerns. We'll work on strategies to combat social isolation, strengthen self-acceptance, and address the lack of visibility. Furthermore, we can explore healthcare disparities, ensuring you have the support and resources necessary for your overall well-being. My aim is to empower you to thrive, offering guidance and support as you navigate the path to self-acceptance, emotional health, and fulfillment in a society that may not always fully understand your unique experiences. As an individual who has and continues to struggle with lived experience as an LG[B]T member, I encourage you to reach out to someone who gets it.

Melissa Letourneau
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
My approach is grounded in authenticity, trust, and often humour. I believe you have the wisdom to navigate life’s challenges and I strive to help empower you to facilitate change in therapy. Therapy can provide a collaborative space to explore your experiences as part of the LGBTQIA+ community. I work with individuals, couples, children and families offering a free consultation to ensure we are a good fit. I carry a systemic lens, exploring the way culture, community and family shape our experiences and aspirations. I am committed to strength-based and anti-oppressive practice in my work. I recognize the importance and responsibility I have as a therapist, to address the systemic inequalities impacting clients in their lives.
