Foothills Psychotherapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LMFT, AMFT, ACSW
Our therapists all have experience working with LGBTQ+ individuals. We have therapists that are able to write letters for gender affirming surgeries, understand that the sexuality spectrum isn't just gay or straight, and won't need you to explain your pronouns every time you meet. We understand that your identity isn't the issue, it is the way people respond to you and your fear of navigating a world that is increasingly unsafe for anyone who deviates from the societal norm.

Phillip McCulley
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, CSAT
I provide LGBTQ affirming therapy for individuals and couples who are navigating coming out, self acceptance, and the impact of sexual orientation or gender identity on family relationships. These experiences can bring a mix of relief, fear, grief, and hope, especially when family responses feel uncertain, unsupportive, or complex.
In therapy, I offer a space where you can explore your identity at your own pace without pressure or judgment. This may include working through internalized shame, fear of rejection, or questions about how and when to come out. I also help clients navigate conversations with family members, partners, or loved ones in ways that prioritize emotional safety and clarity.
For many people, this work involves redefining boundaries, strengthening self trust, and learning how to remain connected to others without compromising who they are. Whether you are seeking acceptance, repairing family relationships, or grieving the loss of hoped for support, my goal is to help you build a more grounded and authentic relationship with yourself and with the people in your life.

Chad Cryder
Psychologist, PhD
As a gay male, I understand the struggle, the feelings of isolation, and shame that can arise from coming to terms with our gender and sexual minority status. However, it is from our experiences where we find our strength and growth. You are not alone, and no matter where you fall within the LGBTQI+ community, I believe in your inherent greatness and want to help you believe it.

Chris Guthrey
Psychologist, PsyD
As a committed straight ally, I support gay men in navigating mental health challenges by fostering an environment of acceptance and understanding. I recognize the unique social differences gay men face, including stressors like societal stigma, internalized homophobia, and discrimination, which can contribute to higher rates of depression, anxiety, and substance use. By providing culturally sensitive care and a safe space for open dialogue, I aim to address these issues effectively, promoting well-being and resilience.

Friendly Psychology, LLC ~ 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 impossible. I work with queer and gender expansive adults who want to live authentically and explore their true selves, but who might not know where to start. We will explore what is holding you back, so that you can start to craft a more joyful, more meaningful life. We will unpack the internalized messages that often lead to self-doubt or shame. And we will work on replacing those messages with curiosity, self-love, and self-compassion. Together, we can help you to become your truest, most beautiful self.

Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Psychotherapist & Psychoanalyst
As a fellow queer person, I offer a space where identity can be explored slowly and honestly in the therapy room. Our work will pay attention to the unconscious ways your history, culture, and lived experiences shape how you understand yourself in the world. Therapy becomes a place to make meaning of what has been carried quietly, soften internal conflict, and move toward a way of living that feels more authentic.

Sarah Wagner LMFT Corp
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, MBA
Many LGBTQ+ individuals carry the cumulative impact of rejection, invisibility, or discrimination. Therapy focuses on understanding how these experiences affect the nervous system, attachment patterns, and internal self-talk.
Using IFS, we gently unburden parts that have learned to protect through withdrawal, perfectionism, or hyper-independence. Our work fosters self-compassion, emotional regulation, and secure connection in present relationships.

Mia Turner
Therapist, MA, RYT, ASDCS, LMFT, NPT-C, CMNCS, CMIP
Therapy for LGBTQIA2S+ individuals seeking a space where identity does not need to be explained, defended, minimized, or translated. My work supports people navigating gender, sexuality, relationships, family dynamics, community, spirituality, belonging, life transitions, and the ongoing process of living more fully in alignment with who they are.
This work is grounded in intersectionality, liberation, and the understanding that distress often emerges not from identity itself, but from the cumulative impact of navigating environments, systems, relationships, and cultural narratives that have not always made room for difference. Particular attention is given to the experiences of queer, trans, nonbinary, neurodivergent, disabled, chronically ill, highly sensitive, BIPOC, multicultural, and otherwise multiply marginalized individuals whose identities and experiences often exist across multiple worlds at once.
Exploration may include the impacts of masking, self-silencing, code-switching, hypervigilance, rejection, invisibility, family expectations, religious experiences, cultural belonging, internalized shame, identity-based trauma, and the exhaustion that can come from continually adapting in order to be accepted, understood, or safe. It may also include making space for joy, pleasure, desire, authenticity, connection, creativity, chosen family, and the parts of yourself that have had fewer opportunities to be fully expressed.
My approach integrates EMDR, somatic therapy, mindfulness, parts work, expressive arts, neuropsychotherapy, attachment-focused therapy, and liberation-oriented healing. Rather than focusing on who you should become, the work centers listening more deeply to who you already are. Support is offered in cultivating self-trust, nervous system safety, embodied authenticity, meaningful connection, and a life that feels more aligned with your values, relationships, needs, and ways of moving through the world.

Laura Anderson LPCC, Eff Shame Therapy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
You deserve a space where you are fully seen, not explained or tolerated. I work with LGBTQIA+ clients from a shame-free, sex-positive perspective, bringing years of experience and genuine investment in the specific ways that systemic harm, family rejection, religious trauma, and identity-based shame show up in our lives and bodies. I am completing certification in sexuality therapy and work from a trauma-informed approach that gets beneath the surface — because you came here to actually heal, not just be accepted. You already deserve acceptance. Let's get to the rest.
