CANADA'S QUEER & TRANS THERAPIST DIRECTORY
A curated directory of queer and trans therapists who share your lived experience.
Canada’s Queer & Trans Therapist (CQTT) Directory was created to make queer and trans mental health services more accessible and easier to navigate. After completing my MSW (2011), I worked at Hassle Free Clinic, connecting gay, bisexual, and queer men to supports beyond sexual health services. Seeing how challenging it was to find appropriate care, I built a database of programs and providers within nonprofits to streamline access for clients.
Later, I started compiling a private list of queer therapists in private practice, maintained for over a decade, so people seeking fee-based services could find affirming providers. Recognizing the need for a broader, sustainable resource, I expanded this work into a national directory.
Launched in August 2025, the CQTT Directory is a living, growing tool to help queer and trans people across Canada connect with skilled, affirming mental health professionals.
Thank you to the practitioners who make this possible!
