The Caruso Wellness Center PLLC
Marriage and Family Therapist, DMin, MART, MA, ALMFT
I provide LGBTQ+ affirming counseling in a safe, compassionate, and judgment-free environment where you can be your authentic self. As an openly gay man, I understand firsthand that navigating questions of identity, relationships, family dynamics, faith, discrimination, and belonging can be both deeply personal and, at times, emotionally exhausting. My role is not to tell you who you should be, but to walk alongside you with respect, empathy, and clinical expertise. Whether you are exploring your identity, coping with minority stress, healing from rejection or religious trauma, strengthening your relationships, or simply seeking a therapist who understands LGBTQ+ experiences, I offer gender-affirming and sexuality-affirming care grounded in Adlerian principles of encouragement, belonging, and personal growth. Every client is welcomed with dignity, respect, and the belief that healing flourishes in an atmosphere of acceptance and genuine human connection.

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.

I work with individuals navigating LGBT issues by providing an affirming and supportive space to explore identity, relationships, and life experiences. LGBT concerns can include coming out, navigating family or social dynamics, internalized stigma, the impact of religion or spirituality, and experiences of discrimination or minority stress. In therapy, we focus on strengthening self-acceptance, processing these experiences, and building resilience in a way that feels validating and empowering. My approach is collaborative and centered on helping you feel more confident in your identity while creating a life that aligns with your values.

Dan Walinsky
Psychologist, PhD
Much of my career has focused on supporting LGBTQIA people in any number of ways. Whether you're at a point where you're considering coming out, if you're exploring your sexual or gender identity, or need space to process the important relationships in your life, this can be a great space to do some work. Many LGBTQIA people have had to make compromises in their lives to fit into social norms that don't mirror queer realities, and doing so can leave a real impact. I love to help LGBTQIA people work toward becoming more fully themselves.

Eric Tivers (ADHD reWired)
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, ADHD-CCSP
As a queer, bisexual, and sex-positive therapist, I know how powerful it can be to have a space where you don’t have to explain or edit who you are. My practice is fully LGBTQ+ affirming and welcoming of all identities and relationship structures, including polyamorous and kink communities. As a bisexual man, I understand the unique challenges of biphobia and bi-erasure — both within and outside of the LGBTQ+ community — and how isolating that can feel.
I also understand how shame, masking, and rejection can shape our sense of self — and how healing it can be to feel seen, accepted, and supported just as you are. In therapy, we’ll explore identity, relationships, and self-expression in ways that align with your values and your nervous system. My approach is neurodiversity-affirming and trauma-informed, honoring the intersections of queerness, neurodivergence, and authenticity. Whether you’re processing coming out, navigating gender or relationship transitions, or simply wanting to live more fully as yourself, this is a space where all of you is welcome.
