LGBTQIA
Zen Life Counselling is proud to offer LGBTQIA friendly counselling & coaching to members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning (or queer), intersex diverse communities. Many issues may appear to have little to do with sexual or gender orientation while others may be intimately connected to the LGBTQIA identity. Nonetheless, regardless of your LGBTQIA status or not, it is important that you feel supported and able to express yourself openly in order to benefit from the therapeutic experience. This is especially true for those confronted with the double stigma of mental health issues and an LGBTQIA orientation.
Many LGBTQIA individuals experience difficult mental health challenges due to the prejudice and other biases they face. Research suggests that people of the LGBTQIA community are at a higher risk of suffering from depression, anxiety, and addiction or substance abuse.
Our mission at Zen Life Counselling is to provide LGBTQIA individuals with a safe outlet for them to discuss these challenges through counselling & coaching so that they can heal and move past any of the issues that they are facing.
