Josh Murray- Hopeful Minds
Psychologist, MA, LLP
LGBTQIA-specific therapy provides affirming care for individuals whose gender identity and/or sexuality generally differ from those who identify as cisgender (gender and/or expression aligns with sex assigned at birth) and heterosexual (attracted to the opposite sex).
Stigma and “minority stress”, including experiences of violence, discrimination, prejudice, and other negative social encounters due to gender identity, expression, or sexuality, contribute to a greater likelihood that people in this community will develop mental health challenges.
LGBTQ therapy provided by licensed mental health professionals is a valuable resource for members of the LGBTQIA community. Finding the right therapist who understands the challenges of gender transition, gender nonconforming identity, and discrimination can be critical to resolving mental health issues, relationship issues, and anger management. LGBTQ therapy offers a safe, supportive space to discuss lesbian, gay, bisexual, and gender nonconforming concerns, providing immediate help and affirming care.

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.

Sound Mind Sound Body LLC
Psychologist, MPsy, PsyD
My practice is LGBTQ+ affirming, and I strive to foster a sense of safety and healing. There is often a great deal of intersectionality within coping with chronic health issues and stressors. Recognizing the importance of honoring all aspects of the individual is a goal in creating a balanced and cohesive sense of self.
