Our Approach to LGBTQIA2S+ Counseling

Our approach to LGBTQIA2S+ affirming counselling is rooted in a person-centered, trauma-informed, and polyvagal-informed approach. We value collaboration, adapting our approach based on each client’s unique needs and preferences.
Techniques may include solution-focused strategies, inviting you to reflect on the changes you want to make in your life and explore potential avenues to support your journey; mindfulness-based practices, building a healing mind-body connection through mindfulness and present-moment awareness; somatic and body-centered approaches, using breathwork, progressive muscle relaxation, bilateral stimulation and tapping, and acupressure to support emotional regulation and grounding; and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), integrated to support processing and healing various forms of trauma, including queer trauma, and as a gender-affirming care practice to support the experiences of trans and gender diverse individuals.
