Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD

Jenna Poppe
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, NNC, PLPC | ADHD + Relationship Therapist
LGBTQ+ individuals carry a unique set of experiences and challenges. The joy of authentic identity alongside the very real weight of navigating a world that doesn't always make space for it. Minority stress, family complexity, relationship challenges, identity exploration, and the intersection of queerness with neurodivergence are all things I am deeply familiar with and genuinely passionate about supporting. This is a space where you never have to shrink, explain, or justify who you are. Just show up! All of you is welcome here.

We are committed allies to the LGBTQIA+ community and provide affirming, respectful therapy for individuals navigating identity, relationships, coming out, family dynamics, and the emotional impact of living in a world that is not always safe or understanding. We recognize the courage it takes to exist authentically, especially in environments where acceptance has not been guaranteed. Our role as therapists is to create a space where clients feel genuinely seen, respected, and supported without assumption, judgment, or the need to educate their therapist.

Merritt Posten Benz
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LSCSW, CDWF, MCLC
People are people, couples are couples and therapeutic work is open to everyone but/and if you identify within the LGBTQI community, there are circumstances and struggles that you must uniquely face. Navigating a healthy and full life is challenging for all of us, and everyone experiences times of struggle and challenge and the added stress and isolation of being a member of the LGBTQI within a heteronormative and often unsafe world, can make the harder things harder. It's crucial to know and have a therapist that is not only open and affirming but can also speak to the experience of being LGBTQI in a world that does not consistently have your interests or experiences in mind and often works intentionally to silence, shame and subdue you and your rights.

The Joy of You
Hypnotherapist, CCHt, NWP, EP, B.Msc
LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) individuals may seek hypnotherapy for various reasons, just like anyone else.
When it comes to LGBT-related concerns, hypnotherapy can provide a safe and supportive space to address topics such as coming out, self-acceptance, internalized homophobia or transphobia, dealing with discrimination, or resolving any underlying emotional issues related to one's sexual orientation or gender identity.
It is important to find a hypnotherapist who is knowledgeable about LGBT issues and creates an inclusive and accepting environment. This ensures that you feel comfortable discussing your concerns and that the therapist understands your unique experiences and needs.
Remember, hypnotherapy is a collaborative process between you and the therapist. It can help you access your subconscious mind, promote self-reflection, and facilitate positive changes in your life.
However, as with any therapy or treatment approach, it's essential to consult with a qualified professional to determine if hypnotherapy is suitable for your individual circumstances.

Christina Song
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT-S
I provide affirming, trauma-informed therapy for LGBTQ+ individuals and relationships. I understand that distress often arises not from identity itself, but from navigating stigma, discrimination, family rejection, and systems that were not built with queer and trans people in mind. Therapy is a space where your identity is not questioned, explained, or treated as a phase—it is respected and affirmed.
In our work together, we may explore identity development, relationships, boundaries, trauma, and the impact of chronic stress on your nervous system and sense of safety. I approach care with cultural humility, consent, and an awareness of power, offering support that centers resilience, self-trust, and authenticity. Therapy with me is about creating space to breathe, to heal, and to live more fully as yourself.

Julien Moe
Hypnotherapist, Diploma in Clinical and Applied Hypnosis, Diploma in Life Coaching
To be gay or lesbian is inborn and you should be proud of yourself. "I am here to help you build a bold & real you!"
"Out of the Closets and into the Streets"
"We are here & We are Queer."
I will help you transform yourself into a King or Queen or both.
"Gay by birth, fabulous by choice"
"My life, my rules"
"Let me help you build a real you with a touch of care"
LGBTQ+ identities are not disorders and do not require a "cure" or treatment, but hypnotherapy can support mental health, self-acceptance, and stress management. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and confidence building, especially regarding coming out or navigating discrimination.

Dr. Caroline Hicks
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Sexual orientation and gender identity development are my areas of focus, and we use this space to make sure all intersecting identities (e.g., racial, religious, political, national) are considered as you find your authentic path in the world. This space is one where we can focus on your sexual orientation and/or gender identity development, or use these identities as a source of context to our work. In addition, I work with many trans*, non-binary, gender nonconforming, gender fluid, and other gender expansive folx as they embark on their path of congruence. In addition, I write letters of support for gender affirming surgeries/medical procedures.
