This page lists LGBTQIA+ Psychotherapists in Toronto. 13 in all.
That is 13 of the 96 psychotherapists listed in Toronto.
These are practitioners who identify as LGBTQIA+ on their profile. It is their own answer. We do not verify it, and nothing here is ranked.
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, tested across settings 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 2.
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
These are the only filters: the practitioner's stated LGBTQIA+ identity and the professional title psychotherapist.
