This space is one where your identity is not a problem to be managed — it's simply part of who you are. I work with LGBTQ+ clients navigating identity, coming out, family acceptance, relationship dynamics, and the particular grief and resilience that comes with living authentically in a world that doesn't always make that easy.

Dr. Caroline Hicks
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Sexual orientation and gender identity development are my areas of focus, and we use this space to make sure all intersecting identities (e.g., racial, religious, political, national) are considered as you find your authentic path in the world. This space is one where we can focus on your sexual orientation and/or gender identity development, or use these identities as a source of context to our work. In addition, I work with many trans*, non-binary, gender nonconforming, gender fluid, and other gender expansive folx as they embark on their path of congruence. In addition, I write letters of support for gender affirming surgeries/medical procedures.

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. Lindsay Perrin
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I am committed to providing LGBTQ+ affirming care and creating a therapeutic environment where clients feel respected, understood, and free to be their authentic selves. For some individuals, questions related to sexual orientation or gender identity may be a central focus of therapy; for others, these aspects of identity are simply one part of a broader life experience. Regardless of what brings you to therapy, I strive to foster a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can openly explore your concerns, build on your strengths, and work toward meaningful change.
