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.

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.

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.

Laura Potel
Therapist, LCAT, CST
As a historically marginalized population, individuals within the LGBTQIA+ community are especially vulnerable to mental health issues. As a queer-identified clinician, it is extremely important to me to create safe spaces in which individuals in the LGBTQIA+ community can seek treatment and receive the support they deserve.
