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.

As an ally to LGBTQ+ people, I am committed to providing you with high quality service that suits your needs. Wherever on the rainbow you are, know that you are accepted and respected. I have some experience in this area, but hesitate to call myself an expert because, as you know, unless you are living and being in the world as an LGBTQ+ - you don't *really* know.

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.

Lenny Gallo
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Being part of the LGBTQIA+ community can bring incredible strength and resilience—but it can also come with unique challenges. Even as acceptance grows, discrimination, judgment, and pressure to conform still impact daily life and mental health.
Whether you’re coming out, exploring your gender or sexual identity, navigating family dynamics, considering non-monogamy, raising children, or aging in a world that doesn’t always understand—you're not alone. These experiences can bring up anxiety, depression, shame, or isolation, and you don’t have to carry that alone.
Therapy offers a space to talk openly about identity, sex, relationships, and health—including informed sexual decision-making and options like PrEP—without fear of judgment.
You deserve affirming care that respects who you are and supports where you want to go. Together, we can help you feel more grounded, empowered, and aligned with your values.

Nicole Houde
Pre-Licensed Professional
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.

Gemstone Wellness, Inc.
Psychologist, PsyD, LCPC, LCSW, LPC
At Gemstone Wellness, LGBTQIA2S+ therapy is not framed as helping you “figure yourself out” in isolation—it is about understanding your identity in the full context of your life, your relationships, and the systems you’ve had to navigate. We recognize that exploring sexual orientation and gender identity can be expansive and liberating, while also complex, disorienting, and at times deeply painful. Therapy creates space for all of that to exist at once, without pressure to define, label, or resolve it prematurely.
Our practice is queer-led, and many of our therapists share lived experience within LGBTQIA2S+ communities. All clinicians are deeply trained in affirming care, meaning you won’t need to educate your therapist, defend your identity, or filter your experience to be understood. If working with a queer therapist is important to you, we prioritize that in our matching process, because we believe safety and resonance are foundational to meaningful work.
We approach this work through a trauma-informed, culturally aware lens. Living outside of dominant norms often comes with chronic stress—navigating visibility, safety, family systems, religion, and broader societal messaging that can invalidate or pathologize difference. Over time, this can lead to anxiety, shame, disconnection, or a sense of fragmentation. Therapy helps contextualize these experiences so they are no longer carried as personal failures, but understood as adaptive responses to real environments.
Our work often includes exploring the intersection of identity with relationships, intimacy, and community. This may involve navigating coming out, questioning or evolving identity, processing internalized stigma, or building relationships that feel aligned and authentic. We also support clients in non-traditional relationship structures, offering care that is explicitly affirming of queer, trans, polyamorous, and kink communities.
What distinguishes Gemstone Wellness is the relational experience of therapy itself. Sessions are collaborative, engaged, and human. We are not neutral observers of your identity—we are active, curious, and attuned participants in your process. There is room for uncertainty, for humor, for grief, and for growth.
The goal is not to arrive at a fixed definition of who you are. It is to build a relationship with yourself that feels grounded, coherent, and free—so your identity becomes something you live, not something you have to prove.
