Queer, Trans, and Sexual Health

Since Thunder Bay Naturopathic Clinic opened its doors in 2011, we have always had queer health care practitioners and allies offering inclusive and empowering care to the 2SLGBTQQIA+ community. 

We treat holistically and understand that it’s impossible to separate mental and emotional health from physical health. Experiencing discrimination or struggling to “come out” can increase anxiety, depression and other mental health struggles for members of the 2SLGBTQQIA+ community. Relationship stress, grief and other life events can also have a big impact on mental and physical health.  

Christy Tashjian NP at Thunder Bay Naturopathic Clinic offers all forms of Sexual Health Care. You might be wondering what this means?  Chances are that sexual health care encompasses a lot more than you might think.  Some of the topics and issues Christy can help with include: contraceptive counselling and contraception (the pill and IUDs), gender affirming hormone therapy and assessments for gender affirming surgery, pelvic health and STI testing, pap smear, vaginal health and optimal sexual functioning, perimenopausal and menopausal symptom management, and PrEP HIV prevention. Christy strives to provide queer affirming, trauma-informed, preventive and educational sexual health care.
