The Purplepaw Clan Experience
Academic Rigor Meets Personal Experience
Every service we offer integrates Dr. Herrick’s scientific background with her lived experience as a transgender woman. This unique perspective ensures you receive guidance that is both intellectually sound and emotionally intelligent.
Focus on Practical Application
We understand that theory alone isn’t enough. That’s why all our offerings—from identity guidance to content—emphasize practical strategies you can apply in your daily life.
Continuous Growth Mindset
Just as the name “Purplepaw” reflects ongoing evolution, our services embrace the understanding that identity exploration is a journey, not a destination. We meet you wherever you are in that journey with resources appropriate to your needs.
Inclusive and Accessible Approach
We recognize that gender and identity exploration occurs across diverse backgrounds, ages, and circumstances. Our services are designed to be accessible to a wide range of individuals while acknowledging the unique challenges each person faces.
Hypnotherapy Driven Identity Guidance
My Philosophy about Gender and Identity is Simple.
Your identity belongs to you, not to society. You already know who you are, and nobody can tell you it’s wrong.
Your purpose in life is to live as the person you know you are inside. Your life will be fulfilled when your outside matches your inside.
Our personalized guidance sessions provide dedicated support for individuals at any stage of gender and identity exploration. Whether you’re questioning, planning, or already navigating gender transition, these sessions offer a safe space to gain clarity and develop practical strategies.
What You'll Gain
- Personalized guidance tailored to your specific situation and questions
- Evidence-based information that cuts through misinformation
- Practical strategies for navigating real-world challenges
- Emotional support from someone who understands the journey firsthand
- Clear next steps that align with your personal goals and timeline
Transformation through Hypnotherapy
Dr. Herrick's gender and identity exploration methodology combines analytical problem-solving with empathetic hypnotherapy techniques. Each session balances addressing immediate obstacles with developing long-term behavior-shifting strategies for your identity journey.
How it Works:
- Initial Consultation: We begin with a comprehensive discussion of your current situation, questions, and goals. I'll discuss how and why hypnosis works, then lead you through a quick session to demonstrate how it feels.
- Foundational Tools: To give you a head start on changing your life, I'll show you anxiety-slaying tools and lead you through a fun session to break down long-standing unwanted behavior.
- Personalized Plan Development: Based on your needs, we create a plan to address your specific challenges and aspirations, including tasks to change your external world and hypnotherapy to change your internal patterns.
- Regular Sessions: We meet as often as you need to provide consistent support and accountability as you navigate your journey. I'll be there the whole way to celebrate as you accomplish your goals.
- Progress Assessment: Regular check-ins ensure we’re addressing what matters most to you and adjusting strategies as needed.
