Individual Counselling
Individual counselling is a time and space just for you. In a one-on-one session, you are invited to explore aspects of your identity, experience, and relationships with the support of your counsellor. This can be useful if you are interested in processing trauma, oppression, and harm. It can also help you explore ways to better connect with yourself and your communities.

Group Counselling
Group therapy can be a more accessible way of engaging therapeutically with issues and challenges. It's also a way to build community and support with others who might be navigating similar challenges. Our counsellors offer a range of groups as a way of creating more access and facilitating community-building and peer support.
Sex Therapy
Sex therapy is a specialization within counselling that addresses a wide range of concerns related to sexuality, and intimacy. Our counsellors work with individuals and relationships in a non-judgmental space, and are affirming of all relationship structures and identities, as well as being sex worker–allied.
We have counsellors with specialized training to support you with a variety of issues, including changes in sexual desire, exploring kink and fetishes, shifts in sexual and gender identity, painful sex, sexual shame, and other sexual health concerns.

Hormone Readiness Assessment
A hormone readiness assessment is an evaluation conducted by a healthcare professional, including counsellors, to determine if a client is ready to access gender-affirming medical care. We offer sliding scale options for those who do not have extended benefits and are lower income.
Facilitation
We provide workshops and facilitation services. Topics include anti-oppression, sexualized violence and interpersonal violence, trauma-informed practices, feminist support skills, and more. These workshops centre on the experiences of BIPOC and 2SLGBTQIA+ folks and are often delivered in collaboration with others in the community offering similar services.
