QUEER & GENDER-AFFIRMING THERAPY· In-person in Toronto & Online

A place where you don’t have to explain who you are

You deserve therapy where your identity is respected, affirmed, and embraced. Our therapists welcome LGBTQ+ and gender-diverse clients and offer a space to explore relationships, mental health, sexuality, gender, family, and the rest of your life.

THERAPY THAT AFFIRMS YOU

Your whole beautiful self is welcome here.

Your identity may be part of what brings you to therapy. Or it may have nothing to do with why you’re here. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationships, family, dating, work, or major life changes. You may also want space to explore sexuality, gender, coming out, identity, belonging, or experiences of discrimination. Either way, you should be able to bring your whole self into the room.

HOW THERAPY CAN HELP

Therapy that Makes Room for All of You.

Therapy can offer space to understand what you want, strengthen your relationship with yourself, build meaningful connections, and make choices that feel more like your own.
  • anxiety, depression, stress, and emotional overwhelm
  • trauma and difficult past experiences
  • relationships, dating, intimacy, and attachment
  • sexuality and sexual identity
  • gender identity and gender expression
  • coming out or deciding whether, when, and how to come out
  • body image and your relationship with your body

WHO THERAPY CAN SUPPORT

Therapy may be a good fit if…

  • you want a therapist who is queer and affirming of LGBTQ+ identities
  • you are exploring your sexuality or gender
  • you are navigating coming out or disclosure
  • you have experienced discrimination, rejection, shame, or isolation
  • you are struggling with relationships, dating, sex, or intimacy
You do not need to have everything figured out before coming to therapy. You are allowed to question, change, explore, and define yourself in your own way.

Meet Your Team

Queer & Gender-Affirming Therapy at Ivana Psychotherapy

Our therapists work with LGBTQ+ and gender-diverse clients across a range of concerns, including relationships, trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, sexuality, identity, family, and major life transitions. Our approach is relational, trauma-informed, and affirming of sexual and gender diversity. We believe therapy should make room for the complexity of who you are rather than reducing you to one part of your identity..

Queer: the moment you realize what you did not have to be.
