Services

Please note that all of our services are virtual indefinitely. Our professionals are uniquely equipped to provide virtual services that emphasize connectedness and warmth in a way that feels natural. When creating this space together, clients are encouraged to join their session from a place of comfort that prioritizes things like fidgets/stimming tools, pets, accessible snacks, privacy, and any sensory needs.

Individual Services

Everyone needs some extra support sometimes. Our mental health professionals welcome people from all walks of life and are qualified to provide support with range of experiences. Services are framed within an anti-oppressive, queer affirming, anti-racist, sex positive, trauma informed, and harm reduction lens. Clients can expect a welcoming and stigma free environment.  

A Note About Diagnoses

Our professionals are qualified to administer mental health assessments. An official diagnosis of a mental health condition is typically not required to address specific needs, however, our providers may recommend you seek an official diagnosis in order to access further supports or address needs outside their scope of practice.

2SLGBTQ+ Informed Services

Our professionals are trained and experienced in providing support to people who hold a diversity of identities and welcome everyone to access their services. In particular, all of our professionals specialize in providing informed services to people who hold queer and trans identities.  This means that they go beyond fostering an accepting environment by providing services grounded in queer knowledge, history, and values. Our professionals are knowledgeable about processes related to accessing gender affirming healthcare, name changes, gender marker changes, and the often complicated experiences of coming out to family, friends, partners and other important people. The expertise our professionals bring is rooted in both formal training and lived experience as queer community members. Our cultural competency comes from being active members in our own queer communities.

Relationship Services

Our relationship services are welcoming of everyone including those who are queer, straight, polyamorous, non-monogamous, monogamous, kinky, and non-traditional. As anti-oppressive practitioners, our approaches consider the impact of things like attachment trauma, power dynamics, cultural values, existing mental health needs, and other areas that are important to those seeking the services. Since dominant relationship counselling frameworks have primarily been developed with straight, monogamous relationships in mind, you may find that our professionals draw on non-traditional and modified frameworks that better consider the unique needs of queer relationships when needed.

Parent and Family Services

In addition to providing support to families navigating significant changes, grief, trauma, or conflict, we also specialize in providing support services to parents who are raising 2SLGBTQ+ children.

It can be scary as a parent to both support a 2SLGBTQ+ child and navigate the conflicting information available on how to best meet their needs. We offer non-judgemental, evidence-based, and compassionate support to parents who are navigating the unique experiences of raising 2SLGBTQ+ children. There are no wrong questions to ask, we are simply passionate about supporting 2SLGBTQ+ youth from an evidence-based perspective. We are firmly against any form of conversion therapies, as research has continued to show how this causes significant, long-term damage to emotional and mental well being. We provide a non-coercive, exploratory, and affirming space to support your child in finding the identities that they feel at home in. We support parents in affirming these identities and building a strong, trusting relationship with their child.
