Four Wings Psychology - LGBTQ2+ Affirming Therapy in Ottawa, ON

Safe, Supportive Counselling for Queer, Trans, and Questioning Individuals

Your identity deserves to be seen, respected, and celebrated: not just tolerated. Whether you're exploring who you are, navigating relationship or family dynamics, or processing the impact of stigma or discrimination, therapy can be a powerful space to feel affirmed, understood, and supported.

At Four Wings Psychology, we offer LGBTQ2+ affirming counselling in Nepean and across Ontario. We welcome people of all gender identities, sexual orientations, and lived experiences and we’re committed to walking alongside you with respect and care.

Who We Support

We offer therapy for:

LGBTQ2+ teens and adults
People exploring gender identity, sexual orientation, or transition
Clients navigating coming out, family conflict, or spiritual tension
Trans and non-binary clients seeking gender-affirming support
Individuals facing minority stress, internalized stigma, or trauma
Queer folks seeking therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, or relationships in a space where you don’t have to explain yourself

Whether you’re questioning, closeted, out, or anywhere on the journey: we’re here for you.

Why LGBTQ2+ Affirming Therapy Matters

Too often, LGBTQ2+ people experience misunderstanding, microaggressions, or erasure in healthcare — including therapy. Our clinic is different.

We provide:

A safe, nonjudgmental space where you can bring your full self
Therapists trained in LGBTQ2+ issues, intersectionality, and anti-oppressive care
Affirming language and frameworks, including trans-informed, kink- and poly-affirming care
Recognition of how systemic oppression, racism, and trauma impact mental health
Support that centers your values, identity, and lived experience

You shouldn’t have to educate your therapist about your identity to feel safe. At Four Wings, you won’t have to.

Common Areas of Focus in LGBTQ2+ Therapy

We support clients with:

Gender dysphoria and body-related distress
Coming out at work, school, or home
Navigating gender-affirming care or transitions
Dating, sex, intimacy, and queer relationships
Faith or cultural conflicts related to identity

You Deserve Therapy That Affirms You

Being part of the LGBTQ2+ community isn't a problem to be solved, but living in a world that doesn’t always affirm you can take a toll. Therapy can help you reconnect with your strength, reclaim your joy, and feel more at home in yourself.
