Description
I am a cis gay man of Latinx background. I grew up in Colombia and moved to Canada in 2014. I’ve had my own mental health journey, characterized by dealing with the challenges of immigration, homophobia, discrimination, and other issues that have come up in my life; and by identifying ways to face difficulties and thrive. By choosing mental health as my career path, I have learned ways to process and cope with life in our world and society, and I am glad to be able to share them professionally through my work. My goal is to support others in coping with the mental health challenges of life.

Facility Information
DeLuna Counselling
Summary
DeLuna Counselling is the practice of Alvaro LUNA BARCO, MSc, CCC. This practice is characterized by being affirmative of gender and multicultural diversity. I treat my clients with deep compassion, and respect. I practice Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT). I intend to conceptualize and understand each person’s context, identify the barriers, problematic behaviours and thinking patterns related to suffering; and support them in processing/resolving the core issues. I guide us to collaboratively identify more adaptive behaviours, thoughts, and coping strategies to support you in your goals.
