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.

Dr. Walter J. Matweychuk
Psychologist, Ph.D.
When bias and discrimination are part of a person's problems, I show them how not to anger themselves and then how to address the prejudice and discrimination constructively. In cases where people are shameful about their sexuality, I teach them how to unconditionally accept themselves and never to shame themselves for who they are and what they like both sexually and non-sexually.

Kate E. Stephenson
Life Coach, ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), Holistic Life, Career & Executive
My personal belief and my coaching ethos is that you are a whole, creative, resourceful person as you are, right now. That is a belief that is being challenged ad nauseam in the current climate. Assuming nothing, as a coach, I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space to speak your truth, be who you are, and figure out what you want from life without anyone else's input, influence, or expectations. This is true for everyone, it can be an even more powerful experience for those of us who feel silenced and rendered invisible in any aspect of our lives. I offer a toolbox of methods, approaches, and experiments to embrace your success without apology, to create ease in a world of hardship, to center yourself and ground in your own wisdom, and to come into agreement with yourself regardless of the dissonance of others.

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.

Chris Scarberry
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
At Healing Reflections Therapy, myself, my partner and our other therapists all are informed, open, affirming and enthusiastically support LGBTQ+ identities. What that means for clients is that you will not be expected to educate us on what your identity means in part because we prioritize , we are all allies or Queer ourselves, and we understand the common and current challenges faced by Queer and Trans people. I frequently say that what I appreciate most about LGBTQ+ folx is their dedication to trying to keep family ties intact and the importance they often simultaneously place on community and self-expression and identity. This is a safe space for those exploring or questioning their gender or sexual orientation. I do a great deal of that work. Our building has gender-free bathrooms and the other office spaces are rented by good caring people, so we encourage everyone to dress and present however you do or want to try out.

Jerrod Johnson
Psychologist, PsyD
In therapy, we make space for difficult thoughts and emotions rather than fighting them so they have less control over your life. I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness to help people, including those from LGBTQ+ communities, reconnect with their values and move toward a more meaningful, authentic life.
