Allen Shamon
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW, LCSW
LGBTQ+ individuals may experience minority stress related to societal prejudice, discrimination, and stigma, which can have significant impacts on their mental health and well-being. I help clients identify and cope with the stressors they face, develop resilience and coping strategies, and process any trauma related to discrimination or harassment.

Maria Elizabeth LeBlanc
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, M.Ed MSW LICSW
Today, more than ever, those identifying as LGBTQIA+ need support and understanding from a skilled clinician familiar with the joy and challenges of living true to one's identity. I have worked extensively with those both questioning their orientation/identity and those that are fully out (or out to varying degrees) in navigating family, work, and societal challenges.
