Maybe you have faced struggles because of your gender, sexuality, or identity.

 

You might be afraid of judgment or rejection.

 

Maybe you feel othered, targeted, confused, exposed, or invisible.

Sometimes you wish you could just show up and not have to explain yourself.

 

You might be dealing with:

  • discrimination

  • isolation

  • stereotypes

  • dysmorphia

  • trauma

 

You want to be fully accepted and included.

Affirmative Therapy is a powerful and inclusive approach designed to support folx on their unique journeys.

In affirming therapy, all sexualities and genders are welcomed and respected.

 

Affirmative therapy is an approach that is supportive and affirming of the diverse identities and experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer individuals.

You are the expert of your body and life and will be treated with dignity.

 

We respect your right to make decisions and provide you with the information you need to make fully informed choices.

An affirmative therapist can empower you to have open conversations without fear of judgment or prejudice.

By nurturing a supportive connection, a healthy therapeutic relationship offers a foundation for exploration.

 

An affirming approach to therapy helps you to feel heard, seen, and validated.

You can understand and accept who you are with self-compassion.

When you feel safe in your environment and in your body, you can be open and vulnerable.

It is possible to feel genuine belonging and embrace your unique identities when you show up as your authentic self.

What if you could...

  • feel supported

  • love yourself

  • cope with stress

  • be empowered

  • build social support

The best therapists don't try to change you.

 

Affirming therapists celebrate diversity and customize their approach to provide the support you need.

 

We will honor and respect you and your diversity, preferences, and goals.

Affirmative therapy can address any concerns you have, even unrelated to your gender or sexuality. 

 

Affirming therapists are sensitive to social impacts and challenge societal norms and assumptions.

If you struggle with your own identities, therapy can support you to reconcile confusing beliefs.

When you move at your own pace without external pressure, you can build a safe space for exploration and self-discovery.

Affirming therapy is good for everyone. By providing acceptance, support, and understanding, therapists create a place where all people can grow and heal.

Therapy Alberta is an independent, profit for good, non-government therapy group practice serving Calgary & Alberta

Therapy Alberta respectfully acknowledges we are supported by the land of Turtle Island, now called Canada. Turtle Island is the home of the many First Nations, Métis and Inuit who have travelled, gathered, lived on and cared for these lands for centuries. Calling Canada our home is a privilege and responsibility. Declarations of land are only one component of our commitment to Truth and Reconciliation.


We are committed to new communities of decolonization. We strive to create safe, affirming, anti-racist and anti-oppressive spaces to welcome and provide free mental health care for people from Indigenous, Black, Color and LGBTQ+ communities and those impacted by trauma. Support our mission today.
