2SLGBTQIA+

An important priority for the Counselling Services for York Region is to strengthen diversity and inclusion so that all Canadians can participate fully as members of Canadian society. Counselling Services for York Region aims at advancing rights and equality for Two-Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex and additional sexually and gender diverse (2SLGBTQI+) people in Canada. Our clinic intends to create and contribute to a more equitable Canada for 2SLGBTQI+ communities for present and future generations. Our Vaughan counselling program is equipped to help you succeed, feel welcomed and is knowledgeable enough to make sure that you are feeling cared for and supported. 

A psychologist can provide vital support to individuals in the 2SLGBTQ+ community by creating a safe, inclusive, and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their unique challenges and experiences. Whether navigating issues related to identity, coming out, discrimination, internalized stigma, or relationship dynamics, therapy offers a supportive environment to work through complex emotions. A psychologist can help clients build self-acceptance, enhance coping strategies, and develop a positive sense of self. They can also provide guidance on managing mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, or trauma, which are often amplified by societal pressures and marginalization. By utilizing affirming and culturally competent therapeutic approaches, psychologists empower 2SLGBTQ+ individuals to live authentically and thrive, while offering valuable support to those seeking a deeper understanding of their identity and relationships.

Individual therapy provides clients with an opportunity to explore feelings and emotions with a professional clinical psychologist. Our environment is safe, private, and accepting. The intent of individual therapy is to address symptoms and ultimately change behaviours or thoughts that may influence success. I have a diverse focus and have helped many patients see success with a variety of mental health disorders.

Group Therapy

Group therapy is widely used and has been empirically accepted as a viable treatment option for many mental health issues and disorders. Group psychotherapy provides clients with an opportunity to receive support from others, experiment with expressing feelings, and create recognition of unhealthy patterns of behaviours. The groups are led by a Clinical Psychologist. Group members will be exposed to psychoeducational, counselling, and psychologist-led interventions. Most of our groups are located in Vaughan, Ontario.

Couples & Marriage Counselling

Depending on the circumstance, couples therapy often includes both partners. I encourage each partner to be open, honest, and sincere. Couples will be guided through the process of identifying understanding and consciousness of each partner's needs and wants. Couples therapy is a safe space where feelings can be safely shared and heard by each individual involved. My skills as a psychologist will help guide the experience. I'm skilled at bringing ease, calm and order to each session.
