Maggie McCarthy
Counselor/Therapist, LMSW
I work with LGBTQIA+ clients and utilize a culturally sensitive, strengths-based approach to partner with you and meet your goals of healing, whatever they might be. Your identity impacts how you interact with the world and how the world interacts with you, and you deserve a safe affirming space to process and explore that considers how societal structures, stigma, and shame play a role in your well-being.

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.

Dr. Israel Martinez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CST, PhD
Sexual orientation and gender roles are core aspects of who we are, shaping how we experience ourselves and relate to others. Exploring and accepting these parts of your identity can be complex, influenced by personal experiences, societal expectations, and internalized stigma. My therapy offers a safe, affirming space to explore your identity, confront challenges, and work toward living authentically.
We focus on self-acceptance, helping you understand and articulate your sexual orientation and gender identity while addressing societal pressures that may cause shame or confusion. Therapy also supports your relationships, guiding you in setting boundaries, expressing yourself, and fostering connections that honor your identity.
Through this work, clients often experience increased confidence, reduced shame, and a stronger sense of self, leading to greater fulfillment and authentic living. My approach is empathetic, affirming, and client-centered, drawing on extensive experience with LGBTQ+ issues to help you embrace your strengths and navigate your journey with confidence.
