Maricia Thompson
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.

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.

Farzana Rahman
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!

Greta Klaber
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ma, LMFT
As someone who is part of the queer community, I bring both personal and professional commitment to creating a therapeutic space that is affirming, informed, and supportive of LGBTQ+ clients. I understand how identity, relationship structures, and cultural context shape our inner lives, and I approach this work with respect, curiosity, and care. I have experience working with clients across the gender spectrum, including trans and genderqueer individuals, as well as those in non-monogamous or non-traditional relationships. Especially in today’s political climate, I believe it’s essential for therapists to be not only affirming, but also actively informed and engaged. My approach is collaborative, non-pathologizing, and centered on your lived experience.
