Hi, I’m Noor (she/they). As a Registered Psychotherapist who is queer, BIPOC, and neurodivergent, I recognize the unique struggles of living in an oppressive society. My practice specializes in working with marginalized individuals who are navigating concerns such as intergenerational trauma, interpersonal difficulties, neurodivergence, etc. With a deep understanding of the intersectionality of identity and mental health, I strive to empower those who have been marginalized. I aim to provide you with a safe and comfortable space where we can collaborate towards your goals for healing and growth. I practice psychotherapy from a person-centered, trauma-informed, anti-oppressive lens. It’s crucial to me that I meet you where you are at and support you in nurturing your growth as a human being.

As per my therapeutic practice, I utilize an eclectic/integrative approach which draws from various modalities such as; Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Humanistic Therapy, Somatic Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy & Internal Family Systems. Additionally, I also incorporate insights from Polyvagal Theory and Attachment Theory. 

I invite you to reach out for a free consultation if you have any questions or would like to explore how we can collaborate. My goal is to support you in your journey towards healing and growth however I can.

Hi! I’m XT (they/them); I’m the Founder and Clinical Director of Rainbow Counselling. I’m a white settler of mixed Western European & South American descent. I’m queer, nonbinary & neurodivergent w/ lived experience as someone healing from CPTSD. My upbringing was informed by mixed cultural identities & traditions. I care deeply about how the impacts of colonization, immigration & displacement impact our mental health & trauma histories.

I enjoy working with queer + trans, racialized, disabled & neurodivergent community & work best with those looking to work through complex trauma, relational wounds & multiple diagnoses. My approach is relational, affirming, anti-racist, anti-oppressive, & centers your lived experience.

My primary approaches to therapy draw from IFS, EMDR & Somatic Therapy. I truly believe trauma healing is possible and strive to create a therapeutic space where that can happen. In our space together we might laugh, swear, & shed a tear or two. Consent is the basis of my work, and I find therapy the most valuable when you feel you have choice in where we go, in our space together.

Hi! My name is Ellis and I’m the Office Manager at Rainbow Counselling. I’m a white settler of mixed Western European and Ashkenazi Jewish descent, currently living on the territory of the Anishinaabe Peoples in Barrie, Ontario. I grew up on Arapahoe territory in Boulder, Colorado, U.S., where I had the privilege of building a deep love for the peaks and valleys of the Rocky Mountains. Although I’m far from those mountains now, my upbringing in the Rockies continues to inform the way I root in my relationship to the land as a part of the ongoing anti-colonial struggle on Turtle Island, in Palestine, and throughout the world.

With an educational background in Social Justice Education and over 12 years working in 2SLGBTQIA+ community, I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to my role at Rainbow Counselling. I’ve had the privilege of working alongside community to build supportive programs for 2SLGBTQIA+ folks in several different counties across BC and Ontario, facilitating support and social groups for Queer and Trans folks of all ages, and managing the wonderful teams that make this work happen on the ground. My favourite part of this work has been building relationships with all of the amazing 2SLGBTQIA+ community members I’ve met along the way, and I’m especially inspired by the creativity, genius, and tenacity of Queer and Trans youth as they find new ways to thrive amidst an oppressive political and social climate.

The serious lack of 2SLGBTQIA+-affirming mental health supports in the many communities I’ve worked in is what sparked my interest in working with Rainbow Counselling, and I’m thrilled to be able to provide the managerial support the clinic team needs to do their best work. I’m always here to answer questions and provide resources, so please don’t hesitate to reach out if you would like more information about who we are, what we do, and how you can get connected.

Hello, I’m Nav, a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying). I identify as a nonbinary, queer person of color and a first-generation immigrant. I bring both my professional training and lived experiences into my work, including navigating coming out, intergenerational trauma, complex family dynamics, and exploring queerness and nonbinary identity.

My name is Tasia (she/her), and I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying). I identify as queer and neurodivergent, with lived experience of mental health challenges. It’s important to me that my clients feel their needs and experiences are being listened to attentively and respectfully, and never discounted. As such, I use neurodivergent-affirming and 2SLGBTQ+ affirming language and practice in addition to a combination of narrative, person-centred, and emotion-focused therapies. This integrative-approach allows me to modify my practice so that it suits each individual client’s needs and goals. If you are interested in working together, I invite you to book a consultation to determine our fit!

Hi, I’m Klaasje (sounds like Klasha). I support neurodivergent and 2SLGBTQIA+folks with anxiety, depression, body image and eating concerns, grief, and stress in an affirmative, compassionate and trauma-informed lens.

Drawing upon transpersonal, existential and mindfulness therapies, I help clients slow down, attend to their real needs, and connect with their authentic self. I guide clients through a deep process of coming back to themselves. I have seen that when we feel separated from our most true and authentic selves, that is when symptoms such as anxiety, depression, disordered eating or stress pop up. These symptoms are not “bad”, but they are often signs of something deeper within us that is asking to be listened to. When we begin to learn how to listen to ourselves on a deeper level, that is when healing has the space to begin to occur.

If you have more questions or feel like this process might be a good fit for you, reach out and let’s set up a time to connect! I am always happy to spend time going over what working with me might look like and see if it feels right for you.
