Hello, my name is Alfonso, I am particularly passionate about supporting 2SLGBTQ individuals navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, and issues related to self-esteem and identity so that they can enjoy life.

I aim to empower my clients to build resilience and achieve their personal goals. I strive to provide a culturally sensitive and inclusive environment where clients feel heard, understood and celebrated.

Creating a safe space for the client to be able to be vulnerable and, without judgment, feel free to be themselves and love themselves is essential.

Specialized in adults who are members of the 2SLGBT community, people living with HIV, and caregivers of people with Alzheimer’s.

My approach to therapy is client-centred and strengths-based. I focus on creating a safe and supportive environment for clients to explore their concerns. I integrate techniques from CBT and mindfulness-based therapies to tailor sessions to each individual’s needs.

Support Individuals, Couples and Families.

Hi, I’m Julie (she/her) and I identify as queer, neurodivergent, and middle-aged. I am currently finishing my MA in Counselling Psychology and am excited to keep learning as I work under the supervision of the experienced clinicians here at Rainbow Counselling.

My person-centered approach will allow our work together to be collaborative, affirming for you, and at your own pace, whatever your identity and therapy goals may be. Our sessions will be a safe and supportive space for you to consider the adjustments and challenges of your life.

I have both research interests and lived experience in the exploration of body image, gender, sexuality, and consensual non-monogamy, as well as the unique issues of older queer people, rural residents and those accessing counselling virtually. I want to use my background in these topics to support people who are dealing with these same issues and themes.

How often have you had to leave parts of yourself (your ethnicity, your queer identity, your mental health) at the door? Sometimes you might need to be someone else in order to feel safe. It can be hard to love and accept yourself, especially when you live in a world where you are told to keep parts of yourself hidden in order to fit in. I know and understand how racism, discrimination, colonial, structural oppression and queer identities can impact our mental health. I am here to create a safe enough space so that you can feel comfortable bringing all that you are and all that you want to be in our sessions.

I am an Expressive Arts Therapist, a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), MA candidate at Yorkville University, using multiple approaches and in an anti-oppressive, trauma-informed frame. I work using the arts as a vehicle to find your inner voice and creativity and explore your strengths and resources. I primarily work with Asian, 2SLGBTQIA+ and Neurodiverse folks.

You are the expert on your own experiences. I am here to guide, to be with, to hold, to witness and be a companion on your journey.

Please book sessions 36 hours in advance! Thank you!

Hi, I’m Noor (she/they). As a 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.

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.

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!

My name is Cho Chua (she/her), a Qualifying Psychotherapist currently finishing her Masters in Arts Counseling Psychology. I’m a queer Asian woman who takes a client-centred, culturally informed approach to her work. I draw from different schools of thought, from humanistic and experiential, to biopsychosocial models. But more importantly- I draw energy from you! I always work collaboratively and adaptively with you, and your story in its entirety. Previously, I’ve worked in different industries ranging from administration to social services. Due to this, I work well with topics involving stress, worry, anxiety, especially regarding career, creativity, identity, expression, and burnout. I also do have lived experience with topics of being Southeast Asian diaspora, immigration, coming out, intergenerational patterns and trauma, and queerness. Together, we can work together to create a space of awareness, creation, trust, and most importantly, respect. I’m happy to support you as you take the steps to healing!

Hi, I’m Dani — a clinical intern and Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) currently completing my Master’s in Counselling Psychology. I take a client-centred, trauma-aware approach that’s flexible and collaborative. I draw from psychodynamic, existential, and cognitive-behavioural therapies, depending on what actually feels useful for the person sitting across from me. As a queer, non-binary therapist-in-training, I’m especially interested in working with folks navigating identity, burnout, grief, relationship dynamics, and the general messiness of being a human. I try to bring warmth, honesty, and a bit of humour into the therapy room — I don’t believe therapy needs to feel clinical or performative to be effective. Before moving into this work, I spent over a decade running a creative agency and working as a public speaker, which taught me a lot about how systems shape our mental health and how important it is to stay connected to who we are — even when that’s complicated. I’m currently offering sliding scale sessions through Rainbow Counselling as part of my practicum. If it feels like we might click, you’re welcome to get in touch.
