Sexual Orientation
-----
something that is often explored in adolescence and early adulthood, but can be explored at any time in one's life
​
sometimes an experience might lead one to question one's sexuality, sometimes it might be that some feelings have arisen that one doesn't quite know how to interpret or integrate into one's sense of self
​
we can talk through that
​
whether you're straight, gay, bi, questioning or curious, or just confused at the moment, ... we're accepting of all of it, and comfortable discussing any of it with you as you make sense of it for your self
Note: the Professional Practice Standards of the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario states that:
​
"Members refrain from providing services such as conversion or reparative therapy, which seek to change or direct a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity."
