Meet Cam!

Cameron Upton

  • Registered Counselling Therapist (RCT-C)

  • Registered in Nova Scotia

Hi! My name is Cam (they/them). I’m a queer and transgender person, social worker, and registered therapist candidate. I have lived experience navigating gender and sexuality and love supporting folks in exploring elements of their identity. I offer services to anyone wanting to further discover aspects of their identity like gender, sexual orientation, and self-worth, or who may want some support with relationships, communication, anxiety, depression, or in processing trauma. 

My approach is casual, easy-going, and friendly. I'd love to share a laugh with you and build our relationship in an authentic way. I want you to leave our sessions feeling seen, heard, and supported, so if you'd like to share a song, a silly video, or some pictures of your pets, I'd love to connect with you in these ways. I believe that our relationship is the foundation of our work together, so I encourage you to challenge and question anything we do together in session, and if there are things you need adjusted in session, just let me know.

As a therapist, I come to this work with the intention of providing an authentic, collaborative, and relational experience that supports your wellness as a whole. I bring over a decade of professional experience within community and mental health, supporting folks experiencing homelessness, substance use, incarceration, and associated traumas. I am largely rooted in Internal Family Systems and Somatic perspectives, but also draw from Dialectical Behavioural and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy modalities. In our sessions, I encourage you to show up in any form, assured that you will be met with warmth and affirming care.
