This page lists LGBTQIA+ Psychotherapists in Toronto. 11 in all.
That is 11 of the 98 psychotherapists listed in Toronto.
These are practitioners who identify as LGBTQIA+ on their profile. It is their own answer. We do not check it.
An identity and affirmative practice are not the same, and affirmative practice is trained. LGBTQIA+-affirmative psychotherapy is a set of professional guidelines and treatment protocols 1. Ask a practitioner what training and experience they have with LGBTQIA+ clients.
What psychotherapy works on, and how long it usually runs
Everyone on this page describes their work as psychotherapy. A psychotherapist works through talking with you about your thoughts, feelings and behaviours.
Psychotherapy usually runs longer than counselling and aims for clinical change. It works on patterns that repeat rather than on one current problem.
A psychotherapist trains in psychological treatment rather than in medicine. What that training covers, and which approach a practitioner uses, differ between practitioners. Ask which approach a psychotherapist trained in, and how long they usually work.
What this page filters on
Everyone on this list gave psychotherapist as their professional title and described themselves as LGBTQIA+. Nothing else narrows the list.
The Toronto page answers more questions about therapy there.
