Dr. Caroline Hicks
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Sexual orientation and gender identity development are my areas of focus, and we use this space to make sure all intersecting identities (e.g., racial, religious, political, national) are considered as you find your authentic path in the world. This space is one where we can focus on your sexual orientation and/or gender identity development, or use these identities as a source of context to our work. In addition, I work with many trans*, non-binary, gender nonconforming, gender fluid, and other gender expansive folx as they embark on their path of congruence. In addition, I write letters of support for gender affirming surgeries/medical procedures.

Bold Expressions Therapy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
As a member of the LGBT community, and as someone who holds degrees both in psychology and LGBT Health and Policy, I couple an academic understanding of the unique disparities that come with these identities with a profound personal knowledge of them in my own life. Not all patients have had positive experiences with the medical community, so it is my hope that my education and bisexual identity will serve my patients in a way that makes them feel both heard and seen. I also recognize that our identities can be static, or they can be fluid, and that the coming out process isn’t something we do just once: we do it over and over again. I do not personally identify as cisgender, and so I approach the issues facing the transgender, nonbinary, genderqueer, and gender non-conforming communities with deep empathy and personal understanding. From fluidity to transitioning, hormone replacement therapy, to writing letters for surgery, I am committed to supporting my clients on their journeys. Not everyone experiences their own gender in the same way, so the discussion of gender as a construct and societal gender norms is at the forefront of our discussions in working through the big mess that is gender.

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.

Amy Guido
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Finding a safe and supportive place to discuss your unique perspectives and needs is so important. Being in a nonjudgemental environment where you can explore what you value and desire is important for all of us and is particularly important if you have concerns about whether your therapist is LGBTQ+ friendly and affirming. Therapy should be a space where you can explore how you live and love in ways that work well for you and those you are in relationship with.

Glendale is a large Phoenix suburb best known as home to State Farm Stadium and Desert Diamond Arena — a sports and entertainment venue-driven city that coexists with significant working-class and Hispanic communities in its western districts. The city has a large Latino population concentrated in areas like Catlin Court and west Glendale, creating meaningful demand for Spanish-speaking and culturally affirming therapists alongside the more affluent residential communities to the north. Banner Thunderbird Medical Center provides institutional mental health resources, with the broader Phoenix metro therapy ecosystem accessible to residents across the city. Glendale's blend of entertainment-sector workers, suburban families, and working-class communities creates diverse therapy demand that practitioners navigate across a wide range of presentations.
