- 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.

Ekaterina Kapoustina
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
The way we identify (whether it is gender, who we are attracted to, relationship structure, etc.) can play a major role in how we see ourselves, others, and the world at large. Relationship therapy is a great space to process personal, interpersonal, and the impact of other outside influences on your relationship. Therapy can be a great way to process specific struggles such as discrimination, feelings of acceptance or coming out to family and friends, identity exploration, roles and expectations in relationships, and so much more. I can help you lean in, get curious, increase your understanding of yourself and partner, and help make your relationship stronger.

Franklynn Bartol
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, MSc
I work with many queer and transgender clients. Although my lived experiences as a non-binary and queer person will help me empathize with you, I place high importance on attending to intersectionality and individuality in each person's experiences. Before training as a therapist, I worked in LGBTQ+ spaces as a peer support worker and studied Gender Studies in grad school. These experiences have helped me gain a wide appreciation for the diversity of issues, traumas, barriers, joys, chosen family, and relationships that exist in our communities. I'm kink and sex worker positive and am comfortably familiar with ethical non-monogamy relationship styles.
