Gracie Orellano
Marriage and Family Therapist, ALMFT
As a queer individual and ally, I often use my experiences within today's culture to provide insight and create connection with my clients. This identity also informs me of how to help navigate challenges faced due to ongoing societal narratives. Things can get especially tough in this community when there aren't people who understand your perspective. I want to provide a space where my LGBT+ clients feel comfortable to be themselves and express their struggles.

Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
LGBTQ+ issues are ones which are close to my heart as I am a gay-identified man. LGBTQ+ individuals share many unique experiences due to their sexual orientation and gender identity. The symptoms that result from those experience are often more accurately understood by a psychologist who has shared in those experiences. This understanding facilitates greater affirmation and validation of your needs, along with designing a more effective approach to achieve your desired symptom relief. Helping people in our LGBTQ+ community is one of the primary reasons I decided to become a psychologist.

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.

Bergen Counseling Collective
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
You deserve a therapist who gets it. Not one who needs you to educate them, not one who treats your identity as the problem to be solved, not one who's "fine with it" but clearly uncomfortable. Our clinicians provide LGBTQ+ affirming care that goes deeper than surface-level acceptance. We understand the specific stressors you navigate: family rejection or tension, coming out at different life stages, discrimination, internalized messages you're still untangling, relationships that don't fit the scripts you were handed. You don't have to translate your experience here. Telehealth throughout Illinois. BCBS PPO and Aetna accepted.
