Kayla draws from humanistic, person-centered, IFS, and narrative therapy to support clients of all backgrounds and identities. With an understanding of what it is like to be on the client slide of therapy, Kayla’s counselling style is grounded in empathy, unconditional positive regard, non-judgement, and the belief that all individuals are both deserving and innately capable of healing.”]

Book with Kayla!” with the website “www.diverserootstherapy.com” written below it.]

ATTENTION RURAL QU**RS!

Living rurally, off-grid, or in land-based settings as a q***r person can be both deeply fulfilling and uniquely challenging. While many of us are drawn to the quiet, self-sufficient, and grounded nature of rural life, it can also come with feelings of isolation, invisibility, and disconnection from community.

Rural Qu**rs support group offers a space for q***r folks living in rural environments to come together, share their experiences, and find solidarity in a community that understands the complexity of this way of life. Whether you’re feeling the weight of isolation, longing for community, or simply wanting to share space with others walking a similar path, this group offers a place to feel seen, supported, and understood.

Together, we’ll explore the joys and hardships of rural q***r life, share strategies for resilience, and build meaningful connection. The group is facilitated by Al (they/them), a q***r therapist who lived solo off-grid in rural Nova Scotia for the last five years, bringing their lived experience to the space.

When: biweekly, Monday evenings, 7-8pm
Where: online
How much: PWYC, suggested $30
When does it start: November 28th
How: email [email protected] or call us at 902-593-0753 for more info or to sign up!
