Support Hotlines Open Closet
Rainbow Counselling Rainbowcounselling is a 2SLGBTQIA+ affirming virtual counselling clinic that supports all residents of Ontario. We believe it is important that everyone can access affirming therapy, regardless of location. Regardless of if you’re questioning, out to some, out to all, not out at all, not wanting to come out, or just have family/friends in the community you want to feel comfortable sharing about, we hold space for all folks. Our clinic values 2SLGBTQIA+ affirming, trauma-informed, intersectional approaches and we offer counselling services to individuals, couples & families. We also offer sliding scale counselling with our clinical intern therapists! We aim to normalize the diversity in sexuality and gender as providing a compassionate and judgement-free space to obtain mental health support is important to us.
