Nader Mikhail
Hypnotherapist, C.Ht.
An affirming space where you never have to explain or justify who you are. Many LGBTQ+ adults carry anxiety, shame or self-doubt picked up from family, faith or past experiences. Hypnotherapy helps release those old messages at the subconscious level and build real self-acceptance and confidence. Free 15-minute consultation.

Erika Barrington
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, BC-DMT
I am a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, and because of how I've felt in my own therapy over the years, it has always been a priority to me to make sure I'm offering an affirming space for this community. I spent time working as a peer counselor in my local LGBTQIA+ community center and was a supervisor there for a short time; worked as a camp counselor for trans youth; completed a year-long training program on offering trans-affirming care in therapy. I do utilize my own experience to understand what clients might be feeling and needing, but its also important to me to value the way that sexuality and gender are diverse experiences based on race, class, country of origin, culture, and so many other factors. I never assume that my experience will be just the same as someone else, and keep an eye out for the ways that my privilege might have insulated me as a queer, genderqueer person. I believe that our society's restrictive/oppressive views about sexuality and gender are impacted by patriarchy, white supremacy, and capitalism, so I hold this truth when understanding how a client may have internalized certain beliefs, and where the responsibility lies. For example, I would not ever blame a client for internalized homophobia, transphobia, but instead bring curiosity to environment, historical trends, and how we can work towards more internal liberation.
