QT Therapists

Queer And Trans Therapists of Nova Scotia

We are pleased to introduce The Queer and Trans Therapists of Nova Scotia (QTTNS), a group of 2SLGBTQIA+ identified therapists who focus on providing a safe and affirming therapeutic space for 2SLGBTQIA+ clients.

QTTNS is a closed space for licensed mental health therapists practicing in Nova Scotia who identify within the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. We came together in early 2022 and are guided by anti-oppressive, anti-racist, intersectional approaches that acknowledge the detrimental effects that structural oppression and systematic discrimination have on our community's mental health, as well as the impacts these have on access to sexual and gender-diverse competent care.

We aim to update this directory annually in the Spring. We are open to feedback and requests for consultations or questions.
