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.

Dr. Mike Strand
Psychologist, PsyD
Members of the LGBTQ+ community often face unique challenges, from navigating personal identity and acceptance to confronting societal prejudice and discrimination. These experiences can lead to feelings of isolation, anxiety, and stress, impacting mental health and well-being. My LGBTQ+ affirming therapy creates a safe and supportive space to explore these issues, offering understanding, validation, and strategies for coping and thriving, embracing your true self with pride and confidence.

David A. Heilman
Psychologist, Psy.D.
While receiving my doctorate in clinical psychology, I also received a graduate certificate in LGBT Health Policy and Practice. I used this experience to gain more insight into treating internalized heteronormativity and shame within the LGBTQIA+ communities.
