Specialized Support for Nonbinary and Trans Teens

Specialized Support for Nonbinary and Trans Teens

Being a teenager is hard. Being a 2SLGBTQIA+ teenager in Halifax and across Nova Scotia can be even harder. Between identity exploration, social pressure, discrimination, and a lack of acceptance, many youth feel isolated, anxious, or overwhelmed. At Insight Mental Health Counselling, we offer online therapy specifically for trans and nonbinary teens, tailored to their unique experiences and needs. Whether your teen is questioning their identity, navigating coming out, being bullied, or struggling with anxiety or depression, we’re here to help them feel seen, supported, and empowered.

A Safe Space to Be Themselves

A Safe Space to Be Themselves

Our teen therapy is led by Jules Smith (they/them), a queer and trans therapist with over a decade of experience in supporting 2SLGBTQIA+ youth. They understand the importance of safety, affirmation, and belonging, and work to create a space where your teen can:

  • Explore their gender identity
  • Process experiences of bullying or discrimination
  • Navigate coming out journeys
  • Build self-worth and resilience
  • Cope with anxiety, depression, or self-harm
  • Feel less alone in their struggles
