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.

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. We work alongside clients to process difficult experiences, strengthen self-trust, and build relationships and lives that reflect who they truly are.

Dr. Walter J. Matweychuk
Psychologist, Ph.D.
When bias and discrimination are part of a person's problems, I show them how not to anger themselves and then how to address the prejudice and discrimination constructively. In cases where people are shameful about their sexuality, I teach them how to unconditionally accept themselves and never to shame themselves for who they are and what they like both sexually and non-sexually.

Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
For many queer and trans people, the project of selfhood involves a double labor: becoming who you are while contending with a world that has opinions about whether that person should exist. The effects are not always dramatic. Sometimes they are quiet — a lifelong habit of self-editing, a flinch so practiced it no longer registers as a flinch. Therapy is a place where the full weight of that experience can be acknowledged, and where the self that survived it can begin to discover what it wants when it is no longer organizing itself around someone else's discomfort.

Chris Scarberry
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
At Healing Reflections Therapy, myself, my partner and our other therapists all are informed, open, affirming and enthusiastically support LGBTQ+ identities. What that means for clients is that you will not be expected to educate us on what your identity means in part because we prioritize , we are all allies or Queer ourselves, and we understand the common and current challenges faced by Queer and Trans people. I frequently say that what I appreciate most about LGBTQ+ folx is their dedication to trying to keep family ties intact and the importance they often simultaneously place on community and self-expression and identity. This is a safe space for those exploring or questioning their gender or sexual orientation. I do a great deal of that work. Our building has gender-free bathrooms and the other office spaces are rented by good caring people, so we encourage everyone to dress and present however you do or want to try out.
