Allison Freeman
Counselor/Therapist, LCMHCA
As an LGBTQ-affirming therapist, my approach centers on creating a safe, understanding, and inclusive space for clients navigating the complexities of their lived identities. I am committed to fostering an environment where the diverse experiences within the LGBTQ community are acknowledged and celebrated.
In our sessions, we explore the unique challenges and joys associated with being LGBTQ, recognizing the impact of societal attitudes, discrimination, and the journey of self-discovery. Together, we work to validate and affirm each individual's identity, creating a supportive foundation for personal growth and self-acceptance.
My focus is on empowering clients to navigate issues such as coming out, building healthy relationships, and addressing mental health concerns specific to the LGBTQ experience. We discuss strategies for resilience, self-advocacy, and developing a strong sense of identity within the context of their sexual orientation, gender identity, or expression.
Through this affirming and informed approach, the goal is to assist individuals in embracing their authentic selves, fostering a sense of belonging, and navigating the various aspects of life with confidence and resilience. The journey involves validating the diversity within the LGBTQ community and promoting mental and emotional well-being through self-discovery and self-acceptance.

Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist committed to supporting the mental health and well-being of the LGBT+ community, my approach to treatment is rooted in cultural humility, affirming the diverse identities and experiences of each individual. Through a safe and inclusive therapeutic space, I provide affirmative therapy that validates clients' identities, experiences, and challenges they may face due to societal stigma and discrimination. Utilizing culturally competent and evidence-based approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), narrative therapy, and interpersonal therapy, I work collaboratively with clients to address concerns related to coming out, family acceptance, relationship issues, and identity exploration. Additionally, I advocate for social support networks and community resources to facilitate connection and resilience. My goal is to empower LGBT+ individuals to navigate life authentically, foster self-acceptance, and thrive in their identities.
