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.

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.

HUGH R STEWART III
Hypnotherapist, Ph.D., ACHt.
I myself identify as queer, bi sensual, and identify my pronouns as he/him, they, them. There is a lot of crossover in the alternative communities I frequent at workshops, retreats, festivals, and polyamory. As a result I have become quite familiar, proficient, and can identify with this group of individuals. From being educated in social justice at Sex Geek Summer Camp, Loving More and The Poly Living Conference, The International School of Temple Arts, and The Essential Experience Community and workshop, I have become very involved in the LGBQT communities. This offers me first hand experience with the issues at hand in the LGBQT Community.

Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
For many queer and trans people, the project of selfhood involves a double labor: becoming who you are while contending with a world that has opinions about whether that person should exist. The effects are not always dramatic. Sometimes they are quiet — a lifelong habit of self-editing, a flinch so practiced it no longer registers as a flinch. Therapy is a place where the full weight of that experience can be acknowledged, and where the self that survived it can begin to discover what it wants when it is no longer organizing itself around someone else's discomfort.

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.

Jess Williams
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSS, LCSW
It's hard to be queer, gay, trans, or otherwise gender-and-sexuality expansive in a world that (increasingly) doesn't accept you for you who you are, thinks you're "making a choice," or quite frankly doesn't want you to exist. As a queer-identified therapist, I understand what a major difference it can make to have support people in your life, AND I know that not everyone has those people. By specializing in working with the queer community, I have made it my goal to create an open, honest, and truly (not performatively) supportive space where you can be who you are and bring what you really need support with to the table. Whether it's exploring your identities, finding community, setting boundaries with challenging people who don't accept you, exploring gender-affirming care, or showing up authentically in relationships, I can help.
Starting therapy can be anxiety-provoking at times, which is why I offer free consultations to all prospective clients. You can book a free 20 minute phone call directly on my website, and I'll reach out to you right away to confirm. We can chat about what you're looking for support with AND make sure everything feels like a good fit before scheduling an intake. I can't wait to connect with you!

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.
