Queer Therapy Collective

Alexis is a Masters-level Student Therapist with our clinic offering three free therapy sessions! If you want a therapist who really gets the nuances of queerness and neurodivergence, Alexis is the therapist for you! She understands what you’re going through because she’s been through it and she wants to help you unmask and feel comfortable and safe. She has availability as soon as Monday, May 4th and she’s offering three free sessions for all clients and a free 20-minute consultation as a therapist meet and greet. Sessions after the three free sessions are $60 at our clinic, but if that's unaffordable, she is offering sliding scale sessions from $10 to $50 per session. She is supervised by a Registered Psychotherapist and she is able to offer virtual therapy throughout Canada. #therapy #canada #canadiantherapists

Erin is joining our team as a Clinical Associate! She did her practicum with us as a Student Therapist, but with all her hours completed for practicum and her registration from the College of Registered Psychotherapists completed, she is ready to go as a Clinical Associate! If you've been thinking about trying out therapy for depression, anxiety or grief, Erin has experience working with them all. If you're wanting to try out Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) or explore your identity, Erin is really for you. Most of all, if you want to experience therapy with someone who really gets it and creates a welcoming environment, Erin's got your back. She's offering free 15-minute consults, so please don't hesitate to reach out! #therapy #canada

Today is Trans Day of Visibility! This day exists because all two-spirit, trans, non-binary and gender diverse folks deserve to be visible, alive, loved, respected, accepted and so so so much more! This #tdov (and every day moving forward), please support trans folks by:
Uplifting trans voices Listening to trans people Getting curious about the trans experience Learning about trans elders Challenging your biases and internalized transphobia and cisnormativity Buying from trans businesses Signing petitions supporting trans rights Sending mail to your representative/MP/MPP about trans rights Watching movies by trans artists Reading books by trans authors Telling your trans friends, family, partners that you love them Advocating for trans people What did I forget? What else are you doing to support and love trans people? If you’re struggling with living in a transphobic society or you want to talk about challenges surrounding supporting someone trans, one of our therapists, Alex T (he/they), is offering three free therapy sessions.

Whenever something happens that grad school didn’t prepare me, I focus on our shared humanity. What does my humanness tell me would be helpful in this moment? Firstly, I tell clients what they’re feeling is natural. F@cism is not natural and it is impossible to cope your way out of. So your exhaustion, hopelessness, infuriation, grief is natural. Secondly, we focus on what the client can do: * vote * petition * participate in a walk or march or demonstration * boycott certain businesses * organize with your local community * donate to foodbanks * volunteer * email MPs and MPPs * support others who are going to rallies and demonstrations Thirdly, we build rest into what they can do. No one can continuously labour. We need rest. Our rest is resistance too. #canada #therapy #politics
