I identify as queer. I don't have a monopoly on "getting:" it, not in the least, but I will promise to listen and strive to understand what your experience is. I will strive to relationally "be with" you as I help you process experiences of discrimination, trauma or simply the ups and downs of events and relationships of daily life,

Franklynn Bartol
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, MSc
I work with many queer and transgender clients. Although my lived experiences as a non-binary and queer person will help me empathize with you, I place high importance on attending to intersectionality and individuality in each person's experiences. Before training as a therapist, I worked in LGBTQ+ spaces as a peer support worker and studied Gender Studies in grad school. These experiences have helped me gain a wide appreciation for the diversity of issues, traumas, barriers, joys, chosen family, and relationships that exist in our communities. I'm kink and sex worker positive and am comfortably familiar with ethical non-monogamy relationship styles.

Forouz Salari
Registered Social Worker, MA, MSW, RSW
It's not easy being a queer or trans (2SLGBTQIA+) person who lives and works in systems, institutions and communities that were historically created by and for cis-gender, heterosexual people. You may be feeling ignored, silenced, excluded, outcast or unsafe. You may be struggling to have equitable access to the same rights, freedoms, resources and opportunities as your cis-gender heterosexual peers.
Through these experiences, many queer and trans folks often feel unsafe, misunderstood, unwanted, outraged, confused, and isolated!
Over time, it's easy to internalize others' prejudiced attitudes and discriminatory actions, which can negatively affect your self-perceptions, confidence, self-worth, health and wellbeing, connections to others, and the opportunities that you allow yourself to pursue.
Let's work together to:
Disentangle yourself from unrealistic, oppressive and exclusionary societal expectations, norms and standards.
Clarify your unique identities, strengths, needs, boundaries and goals.
Practice self-acceptance, self-compassion and self-advocacy.
Create nourishing and fulfilling connections with supportive and inclusive communities.
