The Psychology and Wellness Center is happy to announce that they will be offering specialized Mental Health Services to individuals of the Transgender, Gender variant/expansive community, their families, and loved ones.

As an Ally and a friend, The Psychology and Wellness Center is offering this specialized counselling service with the addition of Bobby Marcel Gaudet to the clinical team. Mr. Gaudet is a Clinical Social Worker/Therapist who has been providing Social Work/Counselling services since 2015.

Since completing his Social Work degree, Mr. Gaudet has held various positions within the NB health network and the Federal public service (CSC).

As a Gender-Queer identified person, and practitioner Mr. Gaudet is dedicated to ensuring that fellow members of the Queer, Trans, and Gender variant/diverse community have access to specialized Mental Health/Addictions services. His focus in this area seeks to address the general lack of professional counselling and support services for members of these minority communities, their families & loved ones.

Mr. Gaudet provides various therapeutic modalities that ensure that clients receive evidence-based Mental Health services that appropriately address their needs. We offer a safe space for all clients regardless of gender identity, gender expression, relationship status, sexual orientation, race, religion, or age.
