Josiane Mapplebeck
Counsellor/Therapist, PhD, MEd, RCT-C, CCC
I am a queer identifying woman (pronouns she/her/hers), and I am committed to providing inclusive, compassionate care to my community. Growing up queer in Nova Scotia was difficult and there were few mental health resources available. My experiences have inspired me to become a therapist who could provide high quality, informed support to the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. I have training in gender-affirming care, and support many transgender and gender-diverse clients. I am also a poly affirming therapist.
You may be looking to explore gender identity or sexual identity. You may be struggling with how your family interacts with your identity. Or you may just feel more comfortable working with a queer therapist.
Wherever you may find yourself in this journey, I will create a safe, non-judgemental space where you are accepted and honoured. I will support you in navigating life’s intricacies with awareness, presence, openness, and transparency.

As a way to give back to my community, I have limited sliding scale spots reserved exclusively for 2SLGBTQIA+ children, youth & young adults (ages up to 22). Please feel to contact me to inquire.

Clayre Sessoms Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, RCT, RCC, CCC, ATR-P
At Clayre Sessoms Psychotherapy, we are deeply committed to providing specialized care for LGBTQIA+ individuals, as we are all queer and trans therapists dedicated to community care. Our practice centers on creating a safe and affirming space where individuals can explore their identities, experiences, and challenges within a supportive and understanding environment.
As queer and trans therapists ourselves, we bring a unique perspective and lived experience to our work with the LGBTQIA+ community. Our therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy, authenticity, and a deep appreciation for the diverse and complex experiences of queer and trans individuals. We believe in the power of community care and strive to create a welcoming and inclusive environment where clients feel seen, heard, and valued for who they are.
Through a combination of relational therapy, somatic techniques, and trauma-informed care, we guide clients in navigating issues related to gender identity, sexual orientation, coming out, family dynamics, and societal challenges. We recognize the importance of addressing the intersectionality of identities and experiences within the LGBTQIA+ community and work to empower individuals to embrace their authentic selves and lead fulfilling lives.
Our practice is grounded in the belief that everyone deserves to feel accepted, supported, and validated in their journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance. We are passionate about fostering resilience, healing, and empowerment within the LGBTQIA+ community, and we are committed to providing affirming and compassionate care that honors the unique experiences and identities of each individual who walks through our doors.

Aaron Chin
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, MA, RCC
When working with LGBT issues, I like to start with some mindfulness around the issue to gain a deeper understanding of the experience, from here there are many options, and I rely of the client's wisdom to guide me.

Transforming Emotions
Psychologist
Sometimes, it just feels important to work with someone who gets it. As a Gen-Xer who came out in my 20s, it is important to me to lead a queer positive team. At Transforming Emotions, all of our therapists are queer positive. Whether you are questioning your sexuality or gender identity, working on coming out to loved ones, or are just living your life and wanting to work with a therapist who doesn’t make more of your queerness than you do, we’re here for you. We welcome all members of the 2SLGBTQIA+. Book your free consultation now to help us find the right therapist for you.
