Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
LGBTQIA+ identities are often treated as something to analyze or explain—but for many people, the real challenge is navigating a world that doesn’t consistently feel safe, affirming, or understanding. Whether you’re exploring your identity, coming out, navigating relationships, or dealing with family, cultural, or religious dynamics, there’s often a lot to hold. Experiences of discrimination, invisibility, or having to constantly assess safety can take a real toll—especially when you’re expected to keep functioning as if it’s not happening.
At Nour Counseling, our care is explicitly affirming—not neutral, not “tolerant,” but actively supportive and celebratory of who you are. Most of our clinicians identify as LGBTQIA+ themselves, which means you’re not starting from a place of having to explain or justify your experience. We prioritize helping you build a sense of belonging—within yourself, in your relationships, and in the spaces you move through. We also address the impact of religious messaging or trauma that may have shaped how you see yourself, creating space to unpack and redefine those experiences on your own terms. Along the way, we name the broader systems and narratives that impact LGBTQIA+ individuals, so you’re not internalizing something that was never yours to carry. This is a space where you can show up as you are and focus on building a life that actually fits.

Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD
Hypnotherapist, PhD
LGBTQ issues often involve navigating identity, desire, intimacy, and belonging within a complex social and relational context. My work offers an affirming, non-pathologizing space for exploration grounded in psychoanalytic and relational understanding. Together, we explore the emotional meanings that shape sexuality, relationships, and self-expression.

Lisa J. Taylor
Psychologist, Ph.D.
If you are struggling to find joy or peace in any of your important relationships, please know that help and support are available! As a relationship therapist, I am committed to creating an affirming space for LGBTQ+ individuals, couples, and families, as well as for those in non-traditional relationships. I also welcome the opportunity to work with clients who are experiencing conflict about adapting to a child or other family member's change in expressed identity, such as when a family member shares that they are gay or trans. Differences in worldview can make it difficult to adjust to learning this new information, but I am here to help you understand and find new ways to connect to your loved one.
