LGBTQ+ Issues
Dan Walinsky
Psychologist, PhD
Much of my career has focused on supporting LGBTQIA people in any number of ways. Whether you're at a point where you're considering coming out, if you're exploring your sexual or gender identity, or need space to process the important relationships in your life, this can be a great space to do some work. Many LGBTQIA people have had to make compromises in their lives to fit into social norms that don't mirror queer realities, and doing so can leave a real impact. I love to help LGBTQIA people work toward becoming more fully themselves.

As a queer-owned practice, we offer therapy that celebrates — not just affirms — LGBTQIA+ identities.

LGBTQ+ Issues
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.

LGBTQ+ Issues
Lisa Hawkins-Jack
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LMSW
It’s difficult to navigate in this world when you feel like you are different in someway, even if you’re comfortable with your sexuality, it’s a different journey for you than it is for most heterosexual couples. It’s often comfortable to talk with someone who understands that and can see things through your unique perspective.
