Dr. Amanda Malak
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist
With special attunement to providing support to LGBTQ+ individuals, I helppeople navigate challenges related to identity, coming out/letting in, relationships, and societal pressures. I support improving communication skills between family members with various belief systems fostering healthy relationships and developing coping strategies to enhance overall well-being. I offer a safe space where people can explore their feelings, choices, build self-acceptance, and address any concerns related to gender and sexual orientation. My approach includes using evidence-based therapies, such as CBT, to help manage issues like anxiety, depression, or discrimination that may arise. I specialize specifically with LGBTQ+ people from conservative backgrounds like conservative Muslims, Mormons, Christians, and many people from the Global South/Majority. Navigating these cultural dynamics adds a complexity that those from more progressive families and cultures may not understand.

CHRISTIE BAUR PSYCHOTHERAPY
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC
Navigating life as an LGBTQ+ person can come with unique challenges—identity exploration, family dynamics, relationships, societal pressures, or simply the need for a space where you don’t have to explain or defend who you are. Whether you’re questioning, coming out, healing from past experiences, or looking for support in living authentically, you deserve a therapist who understands and affirms your identity. In therapy, I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space where all identities, orientations, and expressions are respected and celebrated. Together, we’ll explore what you’re facing with compassion and clarity—whether it’s anxiety, relationship stress, self-acceptance, or the impact of invalidating environments. My goal is to help you feel grounded, empowered, and supported as you navigate your life on your own terms. You deserve to feel seen, valued, and fully yourself.

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.
