We are a group of RCTs (Registered Counselling Therapists), RCT-Cs (Registered Counselling Therapist Candidates), Social Workers and students completing practicum placements, all with a passion to serve the LGBTQIA2S+ community. More info can be found at: diverserootstherapy dot com.
We have an eclectic counselling approach but use mainly affirmative, trauma-informed and client-centered approaches as well as mindfulness. This means that we look at the individual as a whole but also interpersonally and systemically. We can begin to work with you to rework maladaptive patterns that you’ve found yourself in.
Please reach out to us to learn more about our practice and see if you might be a good fit. We currently hold a very short waiting list but please feel free to reach out to see if one of us have an opening that might work for you coming up soon!
