LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapists in Burlington, ON
Life can sometimes be tricky to navigate. One day you're feeling great, and the next everything comes crashing down. Seeing a therapist during stressful times can provide a fresh perspective, and someone to listen when you need to talk things out. Also, you don't have to wait until things are bad to see someone! Getting to know yourself better and growing your confidence when things are going okay in your life can really help to keep you feeling strong when life throws you a curveball. I offer therapy for a number of different situations, from personal growth, anxiety, depression or grief, to queer specific challenges.

If you are looking for a queer therapist in the trans community to support you in your gender journey, or navigating burnout in your life, I bring particular expertise to these areas from personal and professional experience.
I spent about 10 years in the highest burnout sectors of social work. From this experience, I have developed a keen trauma-informed perspective, supporting populations navigating systemic barriers and compounded complex mental health. I have also worked with a large breadth of mental health diagnoses, within every category of the DSM, from a client-centered and strengths based framework. With this experience, and practicing therapy modalities that are transferable to various mental health difficulties, I would say that I am a generalist.

My specializations include trauma, eating disorders, body image, anxiety, and LGBTQIA+.
I believe therapy at its core is about connection, growth and transformation. I am passionate about creating a compassionate, honest and authentic space, to guide individuals in reconnecting with their authentic selves, and to live fuller, more meaningful lives. Through a non-pathologizing approach, I believe that all behavior has a function. The work of therapy is to delve deeper to understand the purpose of behaviours or patterns such as addiction, eating disorders, and chronic anxiety etc. We explore how they may play out in your life, and what is needed to feel supported towards growth, inner freedom, self compassion and change.

As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I want to provide safer spaces for people to explore themselves and their needs when it can be difficult to find them elsewhere.
Our lives can sometimes be filled with pleasure and wonder, but they can also be filled with turmoil and pain. Problems can arise that lead to anxiety, depression, or other symptoms that affect daily living. My desire is to not only help you live, but to thrive. If your experiences with friends, relationships, and intimacy have made life challenging, be comforted that there is hope. We’ll work together toward a path of healing that is creative, unique, and right for you. I do not subscribe to pathologizing a person’s experiences; my passion lies with helping others safely and curiously navigate what is happening in their lives.

Whether you are part of the LGBTQIA+ community, the BIPOC community, etc.
Finding one's self can be difficult to pin down whether you're a person of colour experiencing conflicting values culturally, an individual exploring your sexual identity, unable to balance work/school with life, or otherwise. Coupled that with the stresses of everyday life and things tend to feel overwhelming. You may feel like it's hard to organize your thoughts and feelings or you may even feel like you have nowhere to express yourself.

LGBTQ+ Counsellors
Do LGBTQ-affirmative therapists receive special training?
Yes. Many therapists who practice LGBTQ-affirmative therapy have completed specialised training, either during their degree programme or as continuing education, to learn the core principles of affirmative therapy and how to best support their LGBTQ clients; some have received certifications in LGBTQ-affirmative therapy. Prospective clients should inquire as to a clinician’s background and training to ensure a good fit.
Why might I want to see an LGBTQ-affirming or LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
Queer and gender-non-conforming individuals frequently experience bias and marginalisation in day-to-day life. Working with a therapist who understands these unique challenges, as well as accepts and affirms their identity, can help LGBTQ clients feel safe and supported during therapy—allowing them to better navigate their relationships, mental health, and anything else that they wish to explore during therapy. It is important to note that many therapists can be effective in their work with LGBTQ+ individuals, even in the absence of specific training or background knowledge. The most important component in therapy is the alliance between therapist and client, and this alliance can exist between individuals with very different backgrounds.
How can I find an LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
You may wish to inquire about a therapist’s expertise with your specific challenges or concerns—depression, for example, or relationship strife—as well as their past experiences treating LGBTQ+ clients. Prospective clients may also ask whether a therapist has obtained additional training and/or certification in LGBTQ-affirmative techniques.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience with LGBTQ issues?
Prospective clients should feel empowered to directly ask therapists whether they have received training or been certified in LGBTQ-affirming therapy; competent therapists will be happy to explain their educational background and preferred approach(es) to help a client find the best match for them. Clients may also wish to ask how a therapist has treated clients with their particular challenges in the past and what they expect treatment to look like.
Are all the therapists listed in the LGBTQ directory themselves members of the LGBTQ community?
While therapists may choose to disclose their sexual orientation or gender identity in their profiles, the LGBTQ directory features not only those who have shared this information but also those who assert specialised training or experience in providing support to queer individuals, couples or families.
