Meet Your Counsellor
Braden Moore, CCC, RP(Q)
Everyone needs a compassionate ear.
I approach our sessions together with an open heart and an affirming, non-judgmental stance.I enjoy working with all people, and I’m especially passionate about helping two-spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning (2SLGBTQ+) youth and young adults who are navigating sexuality, relationship, gender and sexual minority identities, and accompanying distress within a heteronormative world.In addition to 2SLGBTQ+ affirming therapies, I have personal and professional experience in working with anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, grief and loss, work stress, life transitions, and self-esteem.Outside of work, you can find me playing Dungeons and Dragons, performing in, and producing musical theatre, and spending time at home with my cat, Patrick.Accreditations:

Approach
Experience a Safe Space
I value the therapeutic relationship between counsellor and client, meaning that I cultivate a space underlined by trust and openness, allowing for you to express yourself without fear of judgment. Our conversations are kept confidential and secure.This professional setting supports personal growth and a transformative journey towards improved mental well-being.
Renew Your Perspective
I strive to develop a partnership with clients in which we can cultivate a positive perspective together by fostering self-reflection, reframing challenges, and setting achievable goals.Through open dialogue and skilled guidance, you will gain insights, coping skills, and resilience, leading to a more optimistic, balanced outlook on life.
Let Go of Things That No Longer Serve You
Together, we will move towards a state of empowerment where you can begin to break free from negative thought patterns by identifying, challenging, and replacing destructive thoughts.Through therapeutic techniques and evidence-based practices like cognitive-behavioural theory, we will walk the path to more positive and resilient beliefs, promoting lasting personal growth and well-being.
2SLGBTQ+ Affirming and Identifying
I am a cisgender gay man with extensive experience working with folks of numerous sexual and gender diverse identities. I know that many people in the 2SLGBTQ+ community have had challenging experiences in the past and long for a space in which they do not have to explain queer culture to a mainstream counsellor.In our sessions, you can expect that, as part of the community myself, I will have a strong knowledge base in daily life as a queer person as well as minority stress and challenges faced by those of 2SLGBTQ+ identity.
Services in English and French
It is important to me that counselling services be accessible to as many individuals as possible. To that end, I offer services in both official Canadian languages, English and French, tailored to your comfort.Language is a defining factor in all of our interactions and relationships, also informing personal identity to a high degree. I am here to support you using the language that best suits you.
