Somatic Healing Arts, Psychotherapy and Wellness
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (qualifying), MA-ExAT
LGBTQ+ individuals often face unique emotional and social challenges that affect both the mind and body, including stress, anxiety, or feelings of disconnection. Approaches like art therapy and sensorimotor therapy engage both body and mind, helping individuals safely explore identity, process emotions, build self-acceptance, and cultivate resilience, empowerment, and a stronger sense of authenticity.

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.

Alessia Zita | Zita Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapy (Qualifying)
Do you often feel misunderstood, unseen, or pressured to hide parts of who you are? Many LGBTQ+ people grow up in environments where their identity, feelings, or relationships were minimized, invalidated, or discouraged. You may have learned to silence parts of yourself, navigate fear of judgment, or question your worth for being who you are.
These experiences are not a reflection of who you are—they are natural responses to navigating a world that isn’t always safe or accepting. What matters is how you honour your identity and process your experiences now. Together, we can explore your journey, build self-understanding and resilience, and support you in living more authentically—so you can feel more seen, grounded, and lighter in yourself. You are who you are for a reason. Let’s explore why, and what comes next.
