Subconscious Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapist, C.Ht.
LGBTQ+ individuals can face unique challenges related to identity, acceptance, and stress from societal pressures. Hypnotherapy provides a safe, affirming space to explore these experiences, reduce anxiety, and build self-acceptance. Sessions support confidence, emotional well-being, and a stronger sense of authenticity in everyday life.

Dr. Berkeley Antonioli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, PhD, LCSW, LCSW-C, MEd
I have studied gender and sexuality spectrums since beginning my undergraduate career in 2005, largely as a result of my lived experiences with caregivers who were very polarized around topics of sex and gender. I consider myself an ally & serve a diverse client population with folks identifying across the LGBTQIA+ spectrum, as well as folks participating in kinky sex and ethical non-monogamy.

Jill Verofsky
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.S., L.P.C., N.C.C.
Inclusion requires work, not just a hashtag. Slapping a rainbow logo on a corporate profile during June while staying quiet when actual rights are threatened is performative. Real allyship costs something—whether that’s calling out bigotry in private rooms or supporting policies that protect vulnerable people.
Internal accountability matters. Being marginalized doesn't make a community immune to internal issues like racism, transphobia, ageism, or classism. True solidarity means fighting for the most vulnerable members under the umbrella, not just the most privileged ones.
