Inclusivity is at the heart of our practice. We believe that a truly safe therapeutic space is one where your identity is not just "accepted," but celebrated and understood through a culturally humble, affirming lens.

Louis Hoffman
Psychologist, PhD
LGBTQ+ individuals may face unique challenges related to identity, relationships, belonging, discrimination, and acceptance, while also navigating the universal struggles of being human. My approach is affirming, inclusive, and grounded in existential-humanistic and relational psychotherapy. I recognize the importance of understanding each person's experiences within their social, cultural, and relational contexts, including the impact of prejudice, marginalization, and societal expectations. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore questions of identity, authenticity, relationships, and meaning without pressure to conform to others' expectations. Together, we work toward greater self-understanding, self-acceptance, meaningful connections, and the freedom to live more fully and authentically.

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.
