Greta Carlson, Psy.D., ABPP
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
I am passionate about serving the LGBT community, for professional and personal reasons. I am attuned to the societal challenges faced by people who have been historically and socio-politically "othered" by society, and feel alert to the particular types of relational trauma experienced by those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, non-binary, and gender-fluid.

Peter Gould
Psychologist, Ph.D.
As a licensed clinical psychologist, I offer compassionate and effective treatment for members of the LGBTQ+ community. My approach, guided by evidence-based therapies, is tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual. Coming out is a deeply personal and transformative experience that can significantly impact mental health, often leading to emotions such as anxiety and depression. Addressing these mental health considerations is crucial for ensuring a supportive and healthy journey.
Individuals may struggle with feelings of isolation, difficulty revealing their true selves to family members, and defending their identity. My expertise extends beyond the coming-out process to include support for those who feel unsupported in their personal lives. I focus on helping clients feel more comfortable living authentically, navigate experiences of rejection, and gain a deeper understanding of their sexuality.

Paula Kirsch
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CST
Affirming care means more than hanging a flag. It means you will not spend your session explaining yourself, educating your therapist, or wondering whether it is safe to say the real thing. I work with LGBTQ+ individuals and couples navigating identity, relationships, sexuality, and everything that comes with living authentically in a world that does not always make that easy. You can just be yourself here. That is the whole point.

Dr. Jason Wang, Inflection Points Therapy
Psychologist, PhD
Some LGBTQ+ clients come to therapy with concerns directly connected to their identities and experiences, while others want to address broader areas of their lives with a therapist to whom they don't need to explain their identity.
With LGBTQ+ clients, it can often be important to recognize the effects of stigma, discrimination, rejection, and social or political uncertainty while also recognizing sources of strength, including resilience, authenticity, pride, chosen family, friendship, and community.
