Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist committed to supporting the mental health and well-being of the LGBT+ community, my approach to treatment is rooted in cultural humility, affirming the diverse identities and experiences of each individual. Through a safe and inclusive therapeutic space, I provide affirmative therapy that validates clients' identities, experiences, and challenges they may face due to societal stigma and discrimination. Utilizing culturally competent and evidence-based approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), narrative therapy, and interpersonal therapy, I work collaboratively with clients to address concerns related to coming out, family acceptance, relationship issues, and identity exploration. Additionally, I advocate for social support networks and community resources to facilitate connection and resilience. My goal is to empower LGBT+ individuals to navigate life authentically, foster self-acceptance, and thrive in their identities.

Cook Counseling and Consulting Inc.
Counselor/Therapist, LISW-S, LCSW-QS, CCTP
LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) issues therapy, also known as LGBT-affirmative therapy or LGBTQ+ counseling, provides LGBT community members with support and understanding tailored to their unique experiences and difficulties. LGBT-affirmative treatment seeks to create a secure and welcoming environment where clients can explore their identities, resolve concerns about their sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression, and work toward greater self-acceptance and well-being.
Therapists who provide LGBT-affirmative therapy know the potential effects of heteronormativity, cisnormativity, and other forms of prejudice on their clients. They endeavor to foster an accepting, affirming, and nonjudgmental environment of diverse gender and sexual identities.
Not all therapists have specialized training or experience working with LGBT issues. If you are looking for LGBT-affirming therapy, it is recommended that you seek out therapists who advertise their expertise in this area or inquire about their experience with LGBT clients during the initial consultation.
Overall, LGBT-affirmative therapy aims to assist LGBT individuals in navigating their unique challenges, developing resilience, and fostering positive mental health and well-being in a secure and affirming therapeutic environment.

Beyond the therapy room, we are proud to provide streamlined, identity-affirming support for those seeking gender-affirming surgery letters, ensuring that your path to living congruently is met with advocacy rather than gatekeeping.

Erica Hart
Psychologist, PhD in Clinical Psychology
As a bisexual woman, I seek to affirm and support my LGBT clients. I understand how complex our relationship can be to our sexuality, and work to help clients through various issues such as internalized homophobia, biphobia, and transphobia, values conflicts (e.g. with family, culture or religion), and supporting through the coming out process. I work with many Ace/Aro individuals as well as trans and non-binary folks.

Erika Barrington
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, BC-DMT
I am a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, and because of how I've felt in my own therapy over the years, it has always been a priority to me to make sure I'm offering an affirming space for this community. I spent time working as a peer counselor in my local LGBTQIA+ community center and was a supervisor there for a short time; worked as a camp counselor for trans youth; completed a year-long training program on offering trans-affirming care in therapy. I do utilize my own experience to understand what clients might be feeling and needing, but its also important to me to value the way that sexuality and gender are diverse experiences based on race, class, country of origin, culture, and so many other factors. I never assume that my experience will be just the same as someone else, and keep an eye out for the ways that my privilege might have insulated me as a queer, genderqueer person. I believe that our society's restrictive/oppressive views about sexuality and gender are impacted by patriarchy, white supremacy, and capitalism, so I hold this truth when understanding how a client may have internalized certain beliefs, and where the responsibility lies. For example, I would not ever blame a client for internalized homophobia, transphobia, but instead bring curiosity to environment, historical trends, and how we can work towards more internal liberation.

Brian Swope
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Whether or not sexuality issues are the main focus of therapy, you can expect an affirming and supportive therapist and environment. Societal/cultural/religious values around sexuality create mental stressors that evolve throughout the life cycle and can prevent a person from fully experiencing that they are capable of.

Michelle Bloom, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD, PsyPact
I believe that identity in all its manifestations is on a spectrum, not a binary, and that one of the goals for creating a meaningful life is finding and developing healthy love for self and others. Who we love, how we love, and how we define ourselves in terms of gender and sexuality and how we communicate that to ourselves and others can be a beautiful, freeing process. I wish to help my clients embrace, celebrate, and express their identity.

Dr. Berkeley Antonioli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, PhD, LCSW, LCSW-C, MEd
I have studied gender and sexuality spectrums since beginning my undergraduate career in 2005, largely as a result of my lived experiences with caregivers who were very polarized around topics of sex and gender. I consider myself an ally & serve a diverse client population with folks identifying across the LGBTQIA+ spectrum, as well as folks participating in kinky sex and ethical non-monogamy.

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.

CHRISTIE BAUR PSYCHOTHERAPY
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC
Navigating life as an LGBTQ+ person can come with unique challenges—identity exploration, family dynamics, relationships, societal pressures, or simply the need for a space where you don’t have to explain or defend who you are. Whether you’re questioning, coming out, healing from past experiences, or looking for support in living authentically, you deserve a therapist who understands and affirms your identity. In therapy, I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space where all identities, orientations, and expressions are respected and celebrated. Together, we’ll explore what you’re facing with compassion and clarity—whether it’s anxiety, relationship stress, self-acceptance, or the impact of invalidating environments. My goal is to help you feel grounded, empowered, and supported as you navigate your life on your own terms. You deserve to feel seen, valued, and fully yourself.
