Dr. Amanda Malak
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist
With special attunement to providing support to LGBTQ+ individuals, I helppeople navigate challenges related to identity, coming out/letting in, relationships, and societal pressures. I support improving communication skills between family members with various belief systems fostering healthy relationships and developing coping strategies to enhance overall well-being. I offer a safe space where people can explore their feelings, choices, build self-acceptance, and address any concerns related to gender and sexual orientation. My approach includes using evidence-based therapies, such as CBT, to help manage issues like anxiety, depression, or discrimination that may arise. I specialize specifically with LGBTQ+ people from conservative backgrounds like conservative Muslims, Mormons, Christians, and many people from the Global South/Majority. Navigating these cultural dynamics adds a complexity that those from more progressive families and cultures may not understand.

Salutaris Psychotherapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
LGBTQ+ issues can involve much more than labels—they often touch identity, family, relationships, culture, faith, safety, belonging, and the pressure of deciding when and how to be fully yourself. In therapy, I provide an affirming space for clients exploring coming out, self-acceptance, relationship concerns, cultural identity, shame, rejection, or the stress of balancing different parts of themselves in different worlds. My style is warm, practical, sometimes humorous, and grounded in real life. Together, we work toward clarity, confidence, healthier relationships, and a stronger sense of living in a way that feels honest and aligned with who you are.

John Burkin
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LMHC, LPCC, LCPC, CPL, Registered Member MBACP
Identifying as a member of the LGBT community is not enough in my humble opinion to qualify me to be of assistance to clients. I have invested time and effort attending workshops, and continuing education forums to learn about the vast range of lived experiences which are represented. I do not propose to be an expert in any one person's individual life rather I share a desire of curiosity to know and learn and align with the goals you wish to create to heal and feel better while you know you are in a safe, non-judgmental space to do so.
