Lisa Hawkins-Jack
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LMSW
It’s difficult to navigate in this world when you feel like you are different in someway, even if you’re comfortable with your sexuality, it’s a different journey for you than it is for most heterosexual couples. It’s often comfortable to talk with someone who understands that and can see things through your unique perspective.

LGBTQIA+ & Queer-Affirming Care
Living Authentically Beyond the Binary and the Burden
In a society that often demands conformity, the act of living authentically as a queer, trans, or non-binary individual is both a triumph and a labor. I provide a specialized, deeply affirming space where your identity is not a "topic to be managed," but a sacred part of your humanity. With my background in the QTAP Certification Training, I offer more than just "tolerance"—I offer a high-level clinical understanding of the unique stressors and joys inherent in the LGBTQIA+ experience.
Navigating the Minority Stress System
We don't just look at your internal world; we use Systems Theory to address how the external world impacts your mental health. We work through:
Minority Stress & Burnout: Addressing the chronic exhaustion that comes from navigating heteronormative and cisnormative systems.
Internalized Shame: Deconstructing the "inner critic" shaped by religious or social constructs of inequity.
The "Coming Out" Evolution: Supporting the ongoing process of disclosure with family, workplace, and spiritual communities.
For Individuals & Couples: Queer-Specific Relational Care
Using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Attachment Theory, I help LGBTQIA+ individuals and couples build secure, resilient bonds:
Chosen Family & Community: Exploring the vital role of non-traditional support systems in your healing.
Navigating Transition: Providing clinical support for individuals and their partners through the emotional and systemic shifts of gender transition.
Spiritual Deconstruction: With my Master of Divinity, I provide a rare sanctuary for queer individuals to process spiritual trauma and reclaim a sense of meaning without sacrificing their identity.
Affirming Your Narrative
Whether you are navigating rejection sensitivity from family, seeking letters for gender-affirming care, or simply want a therapist who understands the nuances of queer life without you having to explain them, I am here.
"The healing space generated between therapist and client is one of the greatest honors of my life." In this space, you are seen, you are safe, and you are celebrated.

Michelle Bloom, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD, PsyPact
I believe that identity in all its manifestations is on a spectrum, not a binary, and that one of the goals for creating a meaningful life is finding and developing healthy love for self and others. Who we love, how we love, and how we define ourselves in terms of gender and sexuality and how we communicate that to ourselves and others can be a beautiful, freeing process. I wish to help my clients embrace, celebrate, and express their identity.

Root & Rise Clinical Specialists
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-R
At Root & Rise, we believe that affirming LGBTQIA+ identities isn’t optional—it’s foundational to our practice. As a clinic co-led by Kristina Scaglione, LCSW-R, who has long worked with LGBTQIA+ individuals, couples, and families, we bring both lived-awareness and clinical fluency to gender, sexuality, non-traditional relationships, and identity transitions. Kristina’s background includes developing LGBTQIA+ mentoring initiatives, advocacy work on transgender rights, a history of designing programs for domestic violence in LGBTQIA+ settings, and maintaining licenses across NY, CT, FL, and MA.
We do more than use inclusive language. We purposefully integrate modalities like CBT, EFT, trauma-informed care, holistic work and attachment/identity processing in ways that honor your unique lived experience—not in a “one-size-fits-all” way, but tailored to intersectionality, relational complexity, and the broader context of systemic stressors. This means we--you--feel seen, validated, held accountable, and empowered.
If you’re seeking therapy where your gender, orientation, relationship style, and authentic self are embraced (not merely tolerated), and where the path ahead is built on clarity, safety, and growth, Root & Rise is ready and fully equipped to support you.
