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.

Zaray Dratch
Pre-Licensed Professional, MFT-LP
Finding a therapist who doesn't need you to explain yourself from the beginning makes a difference. For LGBTQ+ clients, too many therapy experiences start with education, having to define terms, justify your relationship structure, or convince your therapist that your life is valid. That's not what happens here.
Whether you're navigating coming out, relationship dynamics that don't fit a traditional mold, family rejection, identity, or the particular kind of stress that comes from living in a world that still requires you to fight for basic dignity, this is a space that starts from affirmation and moves forward from there. No explaining, no justifying, no shrinking.
Relationship issues within LGBTQ+ partnerships carry their own specific weight. Communication, intimacy, trust, and commitment look different when you're also managing external pressure, internalized stigma, or the absence of relationship models that actually reflect your life. All of that is welcome here.

Jen Johnston Collaborative Change Counseling and Wellness
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LCSW, LMHC
One of our passions as a group of providers is working with people from the LGBTQ+ community. We help clients navigate questions regarding their sexual and gender identities, as well as how to move forward in ways that are consistent with their goals and values. We also understand the effects of minority stress over time, and how this can effect other mental health issues like depression, anxiety, and mood dysregulation. Thus, we work with many queer clients around issues unrelated to sexual or gender identity, but always from a position of affirmation of those identities.
We also understand that there can be a lot of fear when seeking out providers in the mental health system around gender dysphoria. Individuals with gender dysphoria may fear being dismissed, invalidated, or worse. Parents of children who are questioning their gender may fear being judged for any concerns and be uncertain how best to move forward. Our approach is that of compassionate listening. As individuals, we want to hear your unique story and experience with gender as well as your hopes for the future, whether or not that conforms with any external expectations. As parents, we want to hear your unique story and experience with your child around their gender too and help you with the questions you may have. Our aim is to create a safe and inclusive environment.
