Allison Freeman
Counselor/Therapist, LCMHCA
As an LGBTQ-affirming therapist, my approach centers on creating a safe, understanding, and inclusive space for clients navigating the complexities of their lived identities. I am committed to fostering an environment where the diverse experiences within the LGBTQ community are acknowledged and celebrated.
In our sessions, we explore the unique challenges and joys associated with being LGBTQ, recognizing the impact of societal attitudes, discrimination, and the journey of self-discovery. Together, we work to validate and affirm each individual's identity, creating a supportive foundation for personal growth and self-acceptance.
My focus is on empowering clients to navigate issues such as coming out, building healthy relationships, and addressing mental health concerns specific to the LGBTQ experience. We discuss strategies for resilience, self-advocacy, and developing a strong sense of identity within the context of their sexual orientation, gender identity, or expression.
Through this affirming and informed approach, the goal is to assist individuals in embracing their authentic selves, fostering a sense of belonging, and navigating the various aspects of life with confidence and resilience. The journey involves validating the diversity within the LGBTQ community and promoting mental and emotional well-being through self-discovery and self-acceptance.

Stigma-free, affirming therapy for LGBTQIA+ Individuals
Do you live outside of the heteronormative-cisgender box?
Have you been to other supposed “LGBTQ-friendly” counselors who had no idea what you were talking about?
Could you use a safe space to process your feelings and assess your goals?
Or maybe you’re seeking relationship counseling from someone who understands where you’re coming from.
If you can relate to any of the above, then you’ve come to the right place.
No judgments. No biases. Just a strong support system with open ears.
Stigma, in any form, is an impediment to the well-being of those who experience it. Given the stressors that LGBT groups must confront, such as homophobia, prejudice, coming out, and discrimination, finding a therapist who is openly LGBT-friendly or who specializes in LGBT issues is crucial to your personal growth.
As LGBTQIA+ affirming therapists, we are committed to helping clients of all genders, sexual identities and expressions feel not only safe, but truly respected.
If you or someone you know is seeking help from an LGBTQIA+ therapist, contact us today. we would be happy to speak with you about how we can help.

Dr. Caroline Hicks
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Sexual orientation and gender identity development are my areas of focus, and we use this space to make sure all intersecting identities (e.g., racial, religious, political, national) are considered as you find your authentic path in the world. This space is one where we can focus on your sexual orientation and/or gender identity development, or use these identities as a source of context to our work. In addition, I work with many trans*, non-binary, gender nonconforming, gender fluid, and other gender expansive folx as they embark on their path of congruence. In addition, I write letters of support for gender affirming surgeries/medical procedures.
