Dr. Sophia Aguirre
Psychologist, Ph.D., CGP, F-AGPA
I believe everyone deserves a judgment-free space to feel understood and to heal. I am passionate about creating an affirming and empowering therapeutic space that affirms all facets of your sexual and gender identity. I understand that members of the LGBTQ+ community face many of the same mental health concerns as the general population, but they also have a set of unique challenges that other communities don’t. Our queer and trans communities face unique stressors from living in a stigmatizing, heteronormative society. Living authentically in a world that’s not built for queer and gender diverse people can feel overwhelming — even impossible — at times. My goal is to create creating a safe and inclusive environment where you can focus on the concerns that bring you to therapy without fear of judgment, invalidation, or discrimination. I utilize bring an anti-oppressive approach to therapy that emphasizes the importance of understanding the effects of power, privilege, and oppression on the lives of our clients and our communities. With the use of culturally-affirming practice, I hope to empower you to be your most authentic self and to develop a deeper understanding and acceptance of your unique intersecting identities.

Christina Andino
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
In my practice, I specialize in LGBTQIA+ and transgender affirming therapy, deeply committed to providing a nurturing environment where individuals within these communities feel understood and validated. I recognize the diverse challenges and experiences that come with navigating identities in a society that may not always offer full affirmation or understanding.
Therapy becomes a sanctuary, offering a safe space for LGBTQIA+ individuals to explore their identities, confront internalized shame or stigma, and develop resilience in the face of societal pressures. With a client-centered approach, I honor each individual's unique journey, acknowledging the intersectionality of their identities and the richness of their experiences.

Dr. Walter J. Matweychuk
Psychologist, Ph.D.
When bias and discrimination are part of a person's problems, I show them how not to anger themselves and then how to address the prejudice and discrimination constructively. In cases where people are shameful about their sexuality, I teach them how to unconditionally accept themselves and never to shame themselves for who they are and what they like both sexually and non-sexually.
