About QUEER+ Therapy:
Queer+ Therapy is a QUEER therapeutic practice dedicated to the care of adult (18+) members of queer & trans (2SLGBTQI+) communities by a queer-identified counsellor.
Whether you are struggling to come out, questioning your gender identity, are transitioning, experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, abuse(s) or experiencing challenges in your relationship(s) (poly+/kink+). My queer head/heart is here to help.
Queer+ Therapy is a place where human rights are respected, and two-spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and queer people are welcomed and supported.
My approach - I meet you where you are.
ABOUT ME:
My name is Teo (pronounced Tayo) Reffo. I identify as a Queer, Agender person. My pronouns are they/them.
I am a registered social worker (RSW) with a Master of Social Work (MSW). I have worked in/with 2SLGBTQ+ communities for over 20 years in counselling and education.
I am a member in good standing of the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Services Workers and the Ontario Association of Social Workers.
Everyone aspires to 'get better,' but 'better' is a journey of self-discovery and personal growth. It's a process that unfolds when you're truly prepared. Being 'ready' means being open to progress, engaging in conversations, and being challenged in new ways. And remember, sometimes being 'ready' is as simple as summoning the courage to attend your first session. That's a significant step, and it's okay to acknowledge that.
Great therapy sessions are born out of great conversations. These conversations involve talking, sharing, asking questions, getting asked questions, challenging boundaries and being introduced to new thoughts/ideas. We will work at a reasonable pace, but my goal is not to sit with you for 15 years; you've got living to do!
I believe in using whatever fits at the moment. I don't get stuck in one lane, using specific therapies. Instead, I tailor my approach to your unique needs and circumstances, ensuring that our sessions are specifically designed for you.
Our relationship will be a true partnership, a 50/50 commitment. I will be there, fully prepared to work with you, and I expect the same from you. My goal is to help you navigate life more smoothly, and I am fully committed to supporting you in this journey.
I am excited to meet you!
