Dr. Ingrid Solano
Psychologist, PhD
I am a member of, and advocate for, the LGBTQIA+ community. I am proud to provide affirming therapy and I have expertise in working with the experiences of sexual and gender minority individuals, and couples using CBT, DBT, and the Unified Protocol for emotional disorders. Together we can explore the impacts of coming out, internalized stigma, minority stress, intersectionality, discriminations, difficult family-of-origin relationships, giving and receiving support, families of choice, intimacy, sex, gender/sexual fluidity, identity, transitioning, and so much more. Together we can navigate the challenges of living in an oppressingly heteronormative world in order to form a healthy and affirming queer identity. Or, we don’t explore it at all - but we remain aware that they are out there and remain mindful. I am also proud to consider and provide capacity evaluations and letters of support for my transgender clients seeking gender affirming surgery.
I practice from an affirming, feminist, and anti-racist philosophy. This means that I unconditionally accept and value my clients’ gender, sexual, racial, cultural, and other identities. My practice takes into account each person’s unique experiences within contexts of social and systemic oppression, and the impact on your relationships. I practice from a place off cultural humility and allyship to black, indigenous, and other people of colour.
I have expertise in treating relationships and individuals navigating the impact of minority stress and discrimination. I practice affirming therapy that explores greater awareness and understanding of the ways in which emotional experiences and responses to experiences contribute to what is going on for you and your relationships. Navigating these challenges in your life has promoted strength and resilience in coping, paving the way for creative and successful approaches for managing future challenges. I help clients see these strengths in themselves, and create harmony and balance in their lives. I bring a stance of genuine curiosity and cultural competence that includes your different identities and their intersectionality.

Stephanie Miodus
Psychologist, PhD, NCSP
I specialize in providing affirming and inclusive care for LGBTQ+ individuals, including autistic and other neurodivergent clients. My approach emphasizes adapting therapeutic strategies to meet the unique needs of each individual while fostering a supportive and validating environment. I have experience advocating for and facilitating access to gender-affirming care, including providing letters of support for gender-affirming medical treatments.
In my work with LGBTQ+ youth, I prioritize family collaboration and use evidence-based practices, including the Family Acceptance Project’s family model, to strengthen relationships and promote mental health and well-being. I also provide guidance around gender identity exploration, helping clients navigate transitions and develop self-acceptance. My goal is to empower individuals and families by offering compassionate, identity-affirming care grounded in respect, understanding, and advocacy.

It is my sincere belief that everyone is entitled to a safe, supportive space. Many of my clients are transgender, gender non-conforming and nonbinary, and LGBQ+ identified adult individuals.

Over the years, I've gained extensive experience working with couples who are part of queer relationships, polyamory, and open-monogamy relationships. I have also worked with individuals who are exploring what their sexuality means to them and learning how to navigate disclosing their identity to family, partners, and/or friends. I welcome people to come as they are and we can understand your story together!

Maria Elizabeth LeBlanc
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, M.Ed MSW LICSW
Today, more than ever, those identifying as LGBTQIA+ need support and understanding from a skilled clinician familiar with the joy and challenges of living true to one's identity. I have worked extensively with those both questioning their orientation/identity and those that are fully out (or out to varying degrees) in navigating family, work, and societal challenges.

Hailey Goldberg
Registered Social Worker, Registered Social Worker (MSW), DBT-Linehan Board of Certification, Certified Clinician™
I am committed to providing a safe, affirming, and non-judgmental space for 2SLGBTQIA+ clients. I support individuals exploring gender identity, sexual orientation, relationships, self-acceptance, and the impact of minority stress, discrimination, or family rejection. My approach is grounded in respect, curiosity, and cultural humility, recognizing that every person's experience is unique. As a neurodiversity-affirming therapist, I also understand the importance of considering the intersection of identity, neurotype, culture, and lived experience. Whether you are questioning, coming out, navigating a transition, or simply looking for a therapist who will meet you with warmth and affirmation, I strive to create a space where you can show up authentically and feel genuinely understood.

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.

Paula Kirsch
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CST
Affirming care means more than hanging a flag. It means you will not spend your session explaining yourself, educating your therapist, or wondering whether it is safe to say the real thing. I work with LGBTQ+ individuals and couples navigating identity, relationships, sexuality, and everything that comes with living authentically in a world that does not always make that easy. You can just be yourself here. That is the whole point.

Katherine Rabinowitz
Licensed Psychoanalyst, LP, M.A., NCPsyA
The world is changing. At least the part of it that we live in. Some of you may be troubled by the sexual orientation you've come to realize is part of you. It's not bad or good, right or wrong, it's just who you are. There will be people who can't accept that. Possibly your family. Possibly the religion you are or were a part of. But there is every-increasing awareness that being who you are is not an "illness" that needs a cure. It's an acceptable lifestyle (and one you didn't choose - it's in your DNA), and therapy can help you accept yourself, love yourself for who you are, and to deal with those in your life who can't or won't accept you for who you are. Life is still good, and will be better once you work through the issues that stand in your way.

Zaray Dratch
Pre-Licensed Professional, MFT-LP
Finding a therapist who doesn't need you to explain yourself from the beginning makes a difference. For LGBTQ+ clients, too many therapy experiences start with education, having to define terms, justify your relationship structure, or convince your therapist that your life is valid. That's not what happens here.
Whether you're navigating coming out, relationship dynamics that don't fit a traditional mold, family rejection, identity, or the particular kind of stress that comes from living in a world that still requires you to fight for basic dignity, this is a space that starts from affirmation and moves forward from there. No explaining, no justifying, no shrinking.
Relationship issues within LGBTQ+ partnerships carry their own specific weight. Communication, intimacy, trust, and commitment look different when you're also managing external pressure, internalized stigma, or the absence of relationship models that actually reflect your life. All of that is welcome here.
