Non-Monogamy Counselling
Our counsellors understand that we were each born into an environment that had specific expectations around how we would engage with life, love, relationships, ourselves and others. When we do not fit with those expectations, we often experience distress, shame, judgement and feelings of disappointment. Although there is a growing body of resources, most of us have not had many lived examples to help us in our engagement with our non-traditional selves (including post-colonial two-spirit, lesbian, gay, queer, transgender, and non-binary selves), relationships, and ways of being.
Our therapists often support folks around these particular issues:
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.
