Franklynn Bartol
Pre-Licensed Professional, RP (Qualifying), MSc, MA
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.

Ekta Abhay Lather
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
LGBT issues encompass a wide range of topics related to the rights, experiences, and challenges faced by individuals in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community. Key issues include the fight for equal marriage rights, anti-discrimination protections in various aspects of life such as employment, housing, and healthcare, and the ongoing struggle against stigma and violence. Additionally, there are unique challenges for LGBTQ+ youth, including mental health concerns and the need for acceptance in schools and communities. Advocacy and education play crucial roles in promoting understanding and acceptance, fostering an inclusive society where everyone can live authentically and without fear of persecution. Openness, dialogue, and allyship are vital in supporting the rights and dignity of LGBTQ+ individuals.

Nathan Kretzschmar
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Therapy can be a place to explore identity, relationships, belonging, shame, family dynamics, spirituality, and the impact of societal stress without having to shrink or explain yourself. I offer an affirming, respectful space for LGBTQ+ clients, while remaining transparent about the areas where another provider may offer more specialized lived or clinical expertise.
