Lesbian Therapists in Markham, ON

Hi I'm Judy, Director at Your Story Counselling (YSC). At YSC, we understand that life can be stressful, it's easy to become disconnected from ourselves and those we love. Our goal is to help you find what you need in order to create the pathways towards your own desired journey in life. When we open ourselves up to our vulnerabilities, we open ourselves up to our full potential. We believe that all of us have the strength within ourselves to overcome and forge ahead with our own preferred way of life, love, and happiness. We all can use some help and support from time to time.

Have you been going through been struggling lately and find it hard to get out of the rut you’re in? Has your self-esteem and wellness been impacted because of it? There are probably a lot of reasons why you have found yourself on this page. Perhaps for a glimpse of clarity, or hope. As a therapist I understand that you are the expert of your own life and healing is not a one size fits all journey. I offer a warm, safe therapeutic space and embrace a holistic approach to healing. In our work, Psychotherapy will offer acknowledgment of your pain and provide outcomes towards getting better and finding your centre again.

You are struggling to experience a sense of belonging, and yet you don’t feel that you are offered any choice in life. At times, you may feel disconnected from yourself. Once you begin to uncover yourself, you will find that you were born with freedom, integrity, joy, and love; you’ve simply been conditioned to forget all these gifts. It's okay to experience all the emotions, even if they can be overwhelming at times. As a queer Asian immigrant in a diaspora, I understand how hard life transitions can be. My relational approach to healing trauma will help you practice feeling worthy, and loved, and a sense of belonging.

How often have you had to leave parts of yourself (your ethnicity, your queer identity, your mental health) at the door? Sometimes you might need to be someone else in order to feel safe.
