You deserve a therapist who understands your relationship without needing it explained first. At WJW Counselling & Mediation, Lyvia Hughes, Registered Psychologist, offers 2SLGBTQIA+ affirming counselling for couples, relationship groups and individuals, in person in St. Albert and online anywhere in Alberta.
How counselling can help
- Communication breakdowns, conflict and emotional distance
- Rebuilding trust
- Gender identity, transition and how it affects a relationship
- Sexuality, coming out and family reactions
- Stress from discrimination or feeling unsafe
- Intimacy and sexual concerns
- Finding community and support
Affirming care
Affirming care means your identity and relationship are respected, not treated as the problem. Lyvia has years of community involvement, including Lethbridge PrideFest, YQueerL and Didi’s Playhaus, a queer theatre and community space in Southern Alberta.
In sessions she draws on Gottman Method couples therapy (Level 2 training), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), adapted to your relationship.
