Jen Johnston Collaborative Change Counseling and Wellness
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LCSW, LMHC
One of our passions as a group of providers is working with people from the LGBTQ+ community. We help clients navigate questions regarding their sexual and gender identities, as well as how to move forward in ways that are consistent with their goals and values. We also understand the effects of minority stress over time, and how this can effect other mental health issues like depression, anxiety, and mood dysregulation. Thus, we work with many queer clients around issues unrelated to sexual or gender identity, but always from a position of affirmation of those identities.
We also understand that there can be a lot of fear when seeking out providers in the mental health system around gender dysphoria. Individuals with gender dysphoria may fear being dismissed, invalidated, or worse. Parents of children who are questioning their gender may fear being judged for any concerns and be uncertain how best to move forward. Our approach is that of compassionate listening. As individuals, we want to hear your unique story and experience with gender as well as your hopes for the future, whether or not that conforms with any external expectations. As parents, we want to hear your unique story and experience with your child around their gender too and help you with the questions you may have. Our aim is to create a safe and inclusive environment.

Erik Stenglein
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LICSW
Specialties include LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy, sexual orientation and gender identity support, coming out, relationship concerns, minority stress, and trauma-informed care for adults.
I work with adults 18+ who identify as LGBTQIA+, including those navigating sexual orientation, gender identity, or relationship challenges. Many clients come to therapy feeling misunderstood, isolated, or impacted by minority stress, discrimination, or past trauma. My approach is affirming, collaborative, and trauma-informed, helping clients explore identity, process experiences of bias or rejection, and build self-acceptance and resilience. Therapy is a safe, confidential space to strengthen self-understanding, navigate transitions, and create a life that feels authentic and supported.

Ricardo Despradel
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC,LPC
As a gay cis-male Latino therapist, my commitment to LGBTQIA+-affirming care is both personal and clinical. I understand that identity including sexual orientation, gender identity, race, and culture doesn't exist in a vacuum separate from mental health. The effects of minority stress, discrimination, family rejection, and systemic barriers are real, and they shape the way people experience anxiety, OCD, and disordered eating in ways that a culturally unaware therapist can miss. I strive to create a space where LGBTQIA+ individuals and people from historically marginalized communities can show up fully, without having to educate their therapist or shrink themselves to be understood. My goal is affirming care that is also genuinely effective where identity is respected and evidence-based treatment still leads the way.

Daniell Cohen Bertagnolli
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, ATR, RYT
As a member of the LGBTQIA++ community, I understand how important it can be to build a therapeutic relationship with a queer-identifying therapist. It is my priority that my clients know they are safe to share openly in sessions and that for the time we have in our session, there is never any judgment to show up exactly as you are. I also understand the challenges of building a family and the unique complexities of this journey to queer-identifying families. I hope to provide resources, comfort and empower clients navigating life transitions and challenges related to identity and other LGBTQIA++ issues.

Shauna Farabaugh
Life Coach, Certified Somatic Sex Educator, Board Certified Sexologist, Certified TRE provider
As a queer-identified woman, it is my deepest pleasure to support my LGBTQIA+ community in addressing their sexuality concerns. Pleasure is resistance! And our birthright. Somatic sex education offers the opportunity for you to address your sexuality concerns in partnership with your body. Learn how to access your body's wisdom to truly know what you want and how to discover and follow the pleasure available there. Or learn practical skills for sexual communication, mastered through coaching and simple practices so you "know" how to communicate not just intellectually but in your bones. And sometimes we just need a chance to learn the "facts" of sex education from a non-judgmental, inclusive lens, liberated from hetero and gender normative biases. Ready to take the first step towards more pleasure? Contact me today for your FREE consultation.

Authentically You Counseling
Treatment Center, LCMHC
Scheduling at AYC is easy - schedule an intake as soon as next week. Finding the courage to be true to yourself despite the challenges you have to overcome is the ultimate goal of therapy. I believe one of the greatest grievances is living an inauthentic life with who you are. Regardless of what you’ve been through, if something is stopping you from living your truth - if fear prevents you from engaging in life the way you want or you are attempting to live up to some societal or personal expectation so far out of reach it hurts - If something is preventing you from living your fullest life, you can make a difference!
I want to help you reach your fullest potential according to your personal truth, values and beliefs. If we embark on this journey together, you will be the driver. I will simply help you see the different paths to reaching your end goal. In the end, you must be true to yourself in choosing the path you wish to take - or none at all.
Finding your truth sometimes means making a decision about whether or not to live your full truth. We can work together to help you explore your options to make the right choice for You. Making the call (or email) to start your journey is the first step - Let us start your journey together!
