What are LGBTQ IA2S+ Counselling Concerns?

LGBTQIA2S+ is an acronym that stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer or Questioning, Intersex, Androgenous or Asexual, Two-Spirit. At Evergreen Counselling Group, we want you to feel accepted whatever your identity is. Only you can decide how you identify, and it is important to use the language that you are most comfortable with.

There are many reasons to seek counselling. Some counselling concerns are universal, while others impact a particular portion of the population more than others. Unfortunately, the LGBTQ IA2S+ community faces unjust challenges with societal acceptance, which means they are at a higher risk of abuse. This lack of acceptance can also lead to existential crisis.

Just as there are many different types of people, there are also many different approaches to counselling. Evergreen Counselling Group therapists practice from different modalities, but each have the same starting point. More than anything else, we want you to feel heard, understood, and valued on your counselling journey. It is from this basic beginning that we can ensure it is your needs being met, and not simply an agenda brought in by the therapist.

Once the therapist and counselling participant agree that there is a good and deep understanding of the circumstances leading to the counselling concern they move onto the next step. Utilizing the input of the participant, as well as the psychological insight provided by the counsellor, they work together to come up with a plan. What usually presents as simple, practical steps is thus specifically tailored to your unique life situation.
