Gary D. Alexander
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, MFT, NCC
LGBTQIA+ individuals sometimes navigate unique challenges related to identity, relationships, family acceptance, and the impact of stigma or misunderstanding. In therapy we explore these experiences alongside the broader concerns many people bring to treatment, including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and patterns such as codependency. As this work unfolds, many people develop a stronger sense of authenticity, resilience, and emotional clarity in their lives.

Malama Counseling, LLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (or Questioning) therapy or affirmative therapy is a specialized, nonjudgmental approach that validates and supports individuals across the sexual orientation and gender identity spectra to promote self-acceptance and mental well-being. I help clients with gender affirming care who are seeking support to affirm their gender when it conflicts with the gender they were assigned at birth. This evidence-based, patient-centered care aims to treat gender dysphoria, improve mental health, and align outward physical traits with gender identity.

Kaijah Bjorklund
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LMHC
Discovering and living your authentic self in the areas of gender and sexuality should be something to celebrate — but in a world that still too often meets queerness with fear or shame, that journey can be complicated, painful, and isolating. I offer affirming, gender-inclusive therapy that holds space for all of who you are, without pathologizing or minimizing your experience. Whether you're navigating coming out, internalized shame, identity questions, discrimination trauma, or the unique stress of living in a heteronormative world, you belong here — fully and without editing yourself.

Maddy Engelfried

I was a member of the queer community long before I was a therapist, and I believe that identity is a journey rather than a destination.

As a gay man, I bring lived experience to my work with people in the LGBTQIA+ community. We will examine the roots of shame, guilt, and other challenging emotions that may be tied to societal expectations, family dynamics, or past relationships.

Cook Counseling and Consulting Inc.
Counselor/Therapist, LISW-S, LCSW-QS, CCTP
LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) issues therapy, also known as LGBT-affirmative therapy or LGBTQ+ counseling, provides LGBT community members with support and understanding tailored to their unique experiences and difficulties. LGBT-affirmative treatment seeks to create a secure and welcoming environment where clients can explore their identities, resolve concerns about their sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression, and work toward greater self-acceptance and well-being.
Therapists who provide LGBT-affirmative therapy know the potential effects of heteronormativity, cisnormativity, and other forms of prejudice on their clients. They endeavor to foster an accepting, affirming, and nonjudgmental environment of diverse gender and sexual identities.
Not all therapists have specialized training or experience working with LGBT issues. If you are looking for LGBT-affirming therapy, it is recommended that you seek out therapists who advertise their expertise in this area or inquire about their experience with LGBT clients during the initial consultation.
Overall, LGBT-affirmative therapy aims to assist LGBT individuals in navigating their unique challenges, developing resilience, and fostering positive mental health and well-being in a secure and affirming therapeutic environment.

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!"

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.
