Adrina Wilson
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, 107939
As a part of the community myself, I have focused most of my career in supporting the LGBTQ+ community and any other marginalized individual. I have experience in both gender and sexual identities (as well as a combination of the two). Nearly 90% of my clients are within the community. I know provide sliding scale EMDR options as this amazing treatment should be accessible to all.

Rachel W. Friendly, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
It can be so hard to find affirming, safe spaces where we can explore our whole, authentic selves - where we can truly be all of us, in our largeness, our messiness, and our queerness. And especially these days, gender expansiveness can feel particularly scary. Gender trauma is real - but living inauthentically is excruciating. I work with queer and gender expansive adults who want to live their truth and explore their identities, but who might not be sure where to start. We can dig in to what may be holding you back, so that you can start to craft your truest, most beautiful life. We can investigate the internalized messages that may lead to shame or self-doubt. And we can work on replacing those messages with self-compassion, curiosity, and self-love. Together, we can help you to become your truest, most beautiful self.

Sarah Farnsworth
Pre-Licensed Professional
Being part of the LGBTQIA+ community has distinct challenges that permeate every facet of life, from interactions with strangers to the very core of our being. Concerns around intimacy, trust and safety are common, as is a real desire to discover the self in relation to gender, love and purpose. I offer a space where we can safely unpack these and other deeply foundational questions and explore their underlying structures within your unique and individual experiences.
