Ben Mushel
Pre-Licensed Professional, LGSW
As a gay man, I have personally experienced many of the hardships that often come from being a part of the LGBTQIA+ community. I utilize CBT as well as EMDR to help clients navigate these difficulties while holding a wam, non-judgemental, and compassionate space.

Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
LGBTQ+ issues are ones which are close to my heart as I am a gay-identified man. LGBTQ+ individuals share many unique experiences due to their sexual orientation and gender identity. The symptoms that result from those experience are often more accurately understood by a psychologist who has shared in those experiences. This understanding facilitates greater affirmation and validation of your needs, along with designing a more effective approach to achieve your desired symptom relief. Helping people in our LGBTQ+ community is one of the primary reasons I decided to become a psychologist.

Rebecca Connor, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
I am straight, with experience and understanding working with the LGBTQ plus community. My first position as a therapist at a clinic when I moved to Minneapolis from San Francisco in the early 2000s was at a clinic that specialized in LGBTQ issues. I was the only straight therapist in this clinic.

Dr. Kimberly E. Johnson
Psychologist, PsyD, HSPP, APIT
I have worked with LGBTQ clients for over a decade and consider myself an Ally. I am in tune to the unique challenges, bias and issues faced by this population. All to frequently LGBTQ clients all have been subject to trauma, disconnection from family, work or social discrimination based on their gender and sexual identity. Whether dealing with individual, partner or family issues I am an experienced resource.
