We are 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 systemic discrimination have on our community’s mental health, as well as the impacts these have on access to sexual and gender-diverse competent care.

As therapists who are both part of the queer community and largely serve the queer community, we can appreciate how difficult it is to find queer and trans- affirming therapists. We created the directory of 2SLGBTQIA+ identified therapists to aid in reducing the amount of labour it can take to find a therapist that is the right fit.
