Monica Buttafava
Counselor/Therapist, M.S., LMHC
Therapy can help kids battling with gender identity, gender dysphoria, sexual orientation, and issues related to ‘coming out,’ allowing them to explore the emotional, psychological and behavioral aspects of the process of their sexual configuration. Mental Health Intervention can support and guide youth to better manage their feelings and deal with discrimination, social isolation, anxiety, and depression.

Pamela Goffman
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, TEP
Psychotherapy opens our perceptions to the meanings behind our beliefs and patterns of behavior, that in turn comprise the roles we take in our lives. My job is to help you integrate these perceptions and access these meanings, so you can expand your life by creating new roles.
Philip Cooke
Psychologist, PhD
Providing LGBT-affirming psychotherapy and assessment services has been a core part of my training, research, and clinical practice for the past 8 years. My doctoral research and post-doctoral fellowship focused on the psychological well-being of queer men and LGBTQ-affirmative health care. I continue to teach in graduate programs and provide consultation on working with LGBTQ-identified individuals and couples. I have substantial expertise in the psychological effects of discrimination, the intersection of race and gender/sexuality, identity exploration, ethical nonmonogamy, psychosocial and medical gender transition, queer men’s issues, and queer relationship concerns.
As a clinician, my practice has consistently focused on the needs of queer people, particularly those who may be on the margins of the LGBTQ community, including trans and nonbinary folx, non-monosexual people (e.g., bisexual, pansexual), queer people of color, and polyamorous and non-monogamous individuals and relationships. I work to understand the effects of other identities (race, class, ability, age, etc.) on my patient’s concerns and tailor treatment accordingly.

Chris Bartkowiak
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.Ed. LMHC
Over the past 25 years have had hundreds of clients with LGBT issues . I specialize in creating a safe, confidential environment
where you are able to share whatever you want to. For me it’s ridiculous how parts of humanity are still obsessed with a person’s sexuality.
