LGBTQ2S+ Counselling
The Grounding Stone was founded by mj, a queer-identified counsellor who trained under Christine Waymark, co-founder of Dragonstone Counselling. The therapists who practice at The Grounding Stone are either queer-identified, or are allies competent around issues facing our LGBTQ2s+ communities. We are ever-growing in our understanding of how intersectionality contributes to a wide variety of experience that exists within two-spirit, lesbian, gay, queer, transgender, intersex and non-binary communities. This includes and is not limited to ethnic and cultural background, gender, class, age, sex, sexual orientation, nationality, race, religion, relationship status, physical or mental abilities, and socioeconomic status.
Areas that we commonly support folks within our communities are:
We operate within the unceded traditional territory of the Skwxwú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish), Xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Səl̓ilwətaɁɬ təməxʷ (Tsleil-Waututh), Lheidli T'enneh, and the K'ómoks Peoples.
