Dr. Patricia Webbink
Psychologist, MA and PhD in Clinical Psychology
As an advocate for equality in the practice of psychotherapy over the years, I have seen many individuals and couples who are gay, lesbian or bisexual. I am aware of the negative effects of being "in the closet" and of the oppression of societal judgment. I am aware that Lesbians, Gay men, and Bisexual folks have unique challenges. However, many of their relationship issues are like those of heterosexual couples. I have written 4 books on Relationships (see "The Dance of Love" and other titles on Amazon). I offer free zoom seminars, which are helpful to LGBT individuals and couples. Please feel free to call for further information and/or a consultation: 301-229-8000.

Dr. L A McCrae
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCADC, FOT, CCTP, CCTSA
I provide a specialized sanctuary for LGBT Issues, specifically focusing on the intersectional liberation of Black, Queer, and Trans/Non-binary individuals. As a transmasculine clinician, I don't require you to explain your identity; instead, we dive straight into the work of unmasking and reclamation. We move beyond "affirming" to actively building a life that celebrates your queer and trans excellence.
