Emily Hurlin
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LISW, LCSW
I was raised in an LGBTQ+ household, and I bring that lived understanding into my work. LGBTQ+ individuals and couples are welcome here without needing to explain or defend who they are. I support clients navigating coming out, family acceptance, minority stress, and the particular dynamics of queer and non-traditional relationships, while also working on the same connection and conflict concerns every couple faces.

Tara Leigh Thomsen
Licensed Professional Counselor, LIMHP, CPC
LGBT issues may begin with how you choose to come out to others, however it does not end there. We now know that many people have experienced trauma, bullying or abuse from others along the path. I consider myself to be an ally to the community and I am willing to address the issues you are experiencing.

Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD
Hypnotherapist, PhD
LGBTQ issues often involve navigating identity, desire, intimacy, and belonging within a complex social and relational context. My work offers an affirming, non-pathologizing space for exploration grounded in psychoanalytic and relational understanding. Together, we explore the emotional meanings that shape sexuality, relationships, and self-expression.
