Julien Moe
Hypnotherapist, Diploma in Clinical and Applied Hypnosis, Diploma in Life Coaching
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!"
"Out of the Closets and into the Streets"
"We are here & We are Queer."
I will help you transform yourself into a King or Queen or both.
"Gay by birth, fabulous by choice"
"My life, my rules"
"Let me help you build a real you with a touch of care"
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.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
It is a know fact that members of the LGBTQIA community are faced with many challenges and these challenges can lead to struggles with a number of mental health issues. As a lesbian therapist, I understand the struggle and make it my goal to understand your individual struggle as well. Issues such as gender identity/expression, expressing sexual orientation, coming out to family and friends and dealing with discrimination amongst others are topics that are welcomed.

Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC-D
Over the years, I've gained extensive experience working with couples who are part of queer relationships, polyamory, and open-monogamy relationships. I have also worked with individuals who are exploring what their sexuality means to them and learning how to navigate disclosing their identity to family, partners, and/or friends. I welcome people to come as they are and we can understand your story together!

Stephanie Miodus
Psychologist, PhD, NCSP
I specialize in providing affirming and inclusive care for LGBTQ+ individuals, including autistic and other neurodivergent clients. My approach emphasizes adapting therapeutic strategies to meet the unique needs of each individual while fostering a supportive and validating environment. I have experience advocating for and facilitating access to gender-affirming care, including providing letters of support for gender-affirming medical treatments.
In my work with LGBTQ+ youth, I prioritize family collaboration and use evidence-based practices, including the Family Acceptance Project’s family model, to strengthen relationships and promote mental health and well-being. I also provide guidance around gender identity exploration, helping clients navigate transitions and develop self-acceptance. My goal is to empower individuals and families by offering compassionate, identity-affirming care grounded in respect, understanding, and advocacy.

Daniel Pagano
Licensed Psychoanalyst, PhD, LP, SCC
Together we view your LGBTQIA+ identity as a vital expression of your soul's desire for wholeness. Stepping into your true self is a courageous act of individuation. Our Jungian work honors this journey, helping you integrate all aspects of your being for a life of purpose and self-acceptance. Your experience holds a unique spiritual potency—reflecting the sacred archetypal role of the bridge-builder—revealing a deeper, fluid truth about the human spirit. We transform challenges into creative and spiritual insight, celebrating your true Self. Embracing your full identity is a profound spiritual act. We provide a supportive space to navigate the interplay between personal truth and the collective shadow, fostering deep inner harmony and celebrating your divine uniqueness.

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.

Elmhurst is among the most ethnically diverse neighborhoods on earth, a Queens community of Chinese, South Asian, Latin American, Filipino, and dozens more communities layered into a few square miles — and the neighborhood whose hospital became the national symbol of COVID-19's first wave. Pandemic grief and essential-worker trauma remain part of local memory, alongside immigrant family stress and formidable language-access challenges. Elmhurst Hospital and community organizations anchor care in many languages.
