Mental Health Care
By and for 2SLGBTQ+ people.
Looking for a therapist who "gets it"?
Mason Flatla, Registered Psychotherapist
Mason (he/him) believes that the most meaningful therapy is grounded in relationships of trust, compassion, authenticity, and collaboration. He doesn't shy away from using the power of humour (including cheesy jokes!) and also draws from his lived experience as a transgender person.
He supports clients through gender identity, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships and attachment, self-esteem, stress, grief, anger management, ADHD and neurodiversity, chronic pain and illness.
