LGBTQ Issues

I proudly serve the greater LGBTQ+ community and handle related Queer topics. I have specialized training and extensive experience to work with the complex and layered issues faced by members of the greater Queer community. A colorful rainbow of expression under the umbrella of the greater LGBTQ+ community, I strive to create and promote and atmosphere in which you feel 100% safe.

I have worked for many years with the LGBTQ+ community, helping people with coming out, family issues, relationship issues, HIV/AIDS, aging, self-esteem, sexual issues, sexual compulsivity and addiction. I am sex positive and BDSM/kink friendly.

With a queer founder, we are strong in LGBTQ+ affirmative therapy, we offer specialized support tailored to your needs. Whether you are dealing with coming out, relationship issues, gender dysphoria, or other LGBTQ+-related concerns, our therapists are here to provide understanding, validation, and guidance. We provide a safe and inclusive space where you can explore your identity, express your authentic self, and work through the specific mental health issues that may arise.

I have worked with queer and trans clients for over 20 years on all kinds of identity, family, and life issues. I work with queer and trans-including couples which is some of my favorite work. I can help with nuclear and extended family issues, and blended and non-traditional families. I do tranition-focused work with trans and non-binary/genderqueer clients, and can serve as the primary mental health provider for people wanting to pursue medical transition or provide a second letter for GCS.

I have taken several trainings on working with members of the LGBTQIA+ community and it is an area of focus that I am passionate about.

As part of the LGTBTQIA+ community I respond to this population with compassion and experience. Affirmative therapy is an approach to therapy that embraces a positive view of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) identities and relationships and addresses the negative influences that homophobia, transphobia, and heterosexism have on the lives of LGBTQIA+ clients

As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community myself, these issues are very close to me and important. I know the difference it can make to have a clinician who identifies similarly to you, and shares some of the same life experiences. I'm also constantly reading and informing myself of new issues in the community, particularly how these issues may be impacted by the intersectionality of other marginalized identities.

I hold a certificate in Sexuality, Women, and Gender from Columbia University. I have treated many clients with diverse diagnoses who identify as LGBTQ+ throughout my career. I also identify as LGBTQ+, and am proud to be an LGBTQ+ clinician.

LGBTQIA+ issues are one of my core specialties, both in my training as a psychologist and in my practice. I offer a safe space to explore your identity and what it means to you, learn skills to better manage minority stress and microaggressions, manage complex interpersonal relationships, explore the impact of internalized heteronormativity/homonegativity/transnegativity, and build self esteem. Therapy is offered in a positive, affirmative, and strengths-based way.

As part of the LGBTQ community our issues are near and dear to my heart! I love working with "family." Minority stress is real! Many of us have suffered trauma of one kind or another. I believe the "work" that we do to figure out who we are (and how to survive an environment that is often hostile) contributes to our resilience.I interned at Affirmations LGBT Community Center, where I learned a great deal about the issues we face as a community and how to overcome them.

I am a LGBTQ therapist. I have experience working with gender dysphoria, "coming out", identity exploration, and relationships challenges surrounding LGBTQ folks.

I was drawn to psychology as a field in order to support diverse LGBTQ clients. I have extensive experience in exploring a range of issues that often emerge for LGBTQ people: coming out, self-acceptance and love, exploring identity, gender dysphoria, transition, and diverse relationship models, to name a few. I love supporting LGBTQ people of any age and set of life experiences as they navigate the world.

Using integrative, feminist, and systemic approaches we can work together to explore issues related to sexual orientation and identity.

Our counselors are experts in LGBTQIA+ and gender-related issues. We're well-versed in the common challenges you may face, whether it's coming out, exploring your gender identity, navigating relationships, or dealing with societal pressures. We'll guide you through the maze of self-discovery, helping you uncover your true potential and find your inner strength.

I have worked with the LGBTQ+ community for many years and I am a proud member of the community. I provide gender affirming therapy, specializing in working with transgender and nonbinary individuals.

As a queer therapist myself, I have a deep understanding of how navigating a cis-hetero world impacts our own mental health. I provide an affirming space for people across the gender and sexuality spectrum that is sex, kink, and poly-positive.

The core of my practice is supporting LGBTQ people to have the lives, relationships, and families we deserve. I have spent my entire career supporting LGBTQ people, including 15 years of experience counseling LGBTQ survivors of domestic and sexual violence.

I value all forms of diversity and am passionate about providing care for the places where your identity, ways of being, and desires have placed you at odds with majority culture.
