Mental Health Care
By and for 2SLGBTQ+ people.
1-on-1 Counselling
Looking for a therapist who "gets it"? Meet Mason Flatla (he/him), Registered Psychotherapist.
Mason 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.
Group Therapy
Transcending is a 12-week virtual Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) program for gender diverse people. Led by Foria's resident counsellor and our mental health nurse, participants will explore the effects of transphobia on mental health and develop skills to live authentically.
When? Weekly on Tuesdays from March 18 to June 3, 3-5pm MT.
Who? Any AB resident aged 16+
