Forouz Salari
Registered Social Worker, MA, MSW, RSW
It's not easy being a queer or trans (2SLGBTQIA+) person who lives and works in systems, institutions and communities that were historically created by and for cis-gender, heterosexual people. You may be feeling ignored, silenced, excluded, outcast or unsafe. You may be struggling to have equitable access to the same rights, freedoms, resources and opportunities as your cis-gender heterosexual peers.
Through these experiences, many queer and trans folks often feel unsafe, misunderstood, unwanted, outraged, confused, and isolated!
Over time, it's easy to internalize others' prejudiced attitudes and discriminatory actions, which can negatively affect your self-perceptions, confidence, self-worth, health and wellbeing, connections to others, and the opportunities that you allow yourself to pursue.
Let's work together to:
Disentangle yourself from unrealistic, oppressive and exclusionary societal expectations, norms and standards.
Clarify your unique identities, strengths, needs, boundaries and goals.
Practice self-acceptance, self-compassion and self-advocacy.
Create nourishing and fulfilling connections with supportive and inclusive communities.

Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Registered Psychotherapist), Diploma TIRP, member CAPT
I identify as queer. I don't have a monopoly on "getting:" it, not in the least, but I will promise to listen and strive to understand what your experience is. I will strive to relationally "be with" you as I help you process experiences of discrimination, trauma or simply the ups and downs of events and relationships of daily life,

Clare Karasik
Registered Social Worker, MSW, BSW, RSW
As a queer psychotherapist, I support folks struggling with how they navigate their world as part of the LGBTTQQ+ community. I recognize how valuable it can feel to be seen, heard, witness, validated, and understood in a world in which we so often are not. I strive to create the safest place possible for folks to explore issues that arise related to their gender identity or sexual orientation. In psychotherapy, we may explore issues pertaining to family, community, safety, identity, self-acceptance, and living life outside the mainstream narrative.
