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.

Chad T. Allen
Licensed Psychoanalyst, MA, LPCC
I am a psychoanalyst in private practice in the Minneapolis–St. Paul area, where I work with LGBTQ+ adults seeking a space to reflect on identity, relationships, and emotional experience. Many people seek therapy around questions of belonging, self-acceptance, relational difficulty, or the impact of past experiences of marginalization or misunderstanding.
My work is grounded in the belief that emotional life unfolds within both personal and social contexts. Psychoanalytic psychotherapy provides a space to explore how identity, relationships, and internal experience intersect, allowing individuals to develop a deeper understanding of themselves and their emotional histories. Therapy offers an opportunity to speak freely and to explore experiences that may not have felt fully understood elsewhere.
I also work with couples who wish to explore relational dynamics and intimacy within the context of their shared experience.

Dr. Megan Marks
Psychologist, PhD
Finding a therapist who truly gets it can be hard—especially if you’ve spent too much time explaining or editing parts of yourself to feel safe. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I know how much it matters to have a space where you don’t have to explain your existence—just your goals.
I work with LGBTQ+ adults navigating identity exploration, relationships, chosen family, workplace dynamics, religious trauma, and the deep emotional toll of living in a world that too often questions your worth. Right now, the political climate is not just unsettling—it’s harmful, especially for trans and gender-diverse folks. You deserve a space where your identity is not only affirmed but protected. At The Momentum Practice, therapy is a place to exhale, reconnect, and move forward with more clarity and strength. I offer support for the full spectrum of your experience—from anxiety and perfectionism to workplace stress and burnout. When requested, I also provide letters for gender-affirming medical care, always with warmth, respect, and zero gatekeeping. With over 15 years of experience, I help clients move from self-doubt to self-trust, and from feeling stuck to feeling more aligned, empowered, and whole. You deserve a therapist who sees you, celebrates you, and journeys beside you. You matter—and I’m so glad you’re here. Contact me for a free 15 minute consultation!

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 Holistic Life 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. While 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 am NOT offering therapy, but coaching can absolutely complement and supplement your therapy work. Instead, I offer a toolbox of methods, approaches, and experiments that most therapists do not. Tools designed to help you embrace your success without apology; create ease in a world of hardship; center yourself and ground in your own wisdom; and come into agreement with yourself regardless of the dissonance of others.
