Hannah Muetzelfeld
Psychologist, PhD
I am a gender-affirming and queer-affirming therapist, and promote openness and acceptance in my practice. I greatly enjoy working with queer and gender-expansive clients, and strive to create a space where individuals can feel safe, seen, and celebrated in their identities. I offer trans-affirmative care, and have worked with several clients at various stages through their gender identity journey. I also have experience with letter-writing for gender affirming services in alignment with WPATH standards, and approach this process collaboratively and respectfully.

Erik Stenglein
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LICSW
Specialties include LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy, sexual orientation and gender identity support, coming out, relationship concerns, minority stress, and trauma-informed care for adults.
I work with adults 18+ who identify as LGBTQIA+, including those navigating sexual orientation, gender identity, or relationship challenges. Many clients come to therapy feeling misunderstood, isolated, or impacted by minority stress, discrimination, or past trauma. My approach is affirming, collaborative, and trauma-informed, helping clients explore identity, process experiences of bias or rejection, and build self-acceptance and resilience. Therapy is a safe, confidential space to strengthen self-understanding, navigate transitions, and create a life that feels authentic and supported.

Jerrod Johnson
Psychologist, PsyD
In therapy, we make space for difficult thoughts and emotions rather than fighting them so they have less control over your life. I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness to help people, including those from LGBTQ+ communities, reconnect with their values and move toward a more meaningful, authentic life.

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.

Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
LGBTQ+ issues are ones which are close to my heart as I am a gay-identified man. LGBTQ+ individuals share many unique experiences due to their sexual orientation and gender identity. The symptoms that result from those experience are often more accurately understood by a psychologist who has shared in those experiences. This understanding facilitates greater affirmation and validation of your needs, along with designing a more effective approach to achieve your desired symptom relief. Helping people in our LGBTQ+ community is one of the primary reasons I decided to become a psychologist.

Kate E. Stephenson
Life Coach, ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), Holistic Life, Career & Executive
My personal belief and my coaching ethos is that you are a whole, creative, resourceful person as you are, right now. That is a belief that is being challenged ad nauseam in the current climate. Assuming nothing, as a Holistic Life Coach, I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space to speak your truth, be who you are, and figure out what you want from life without anyone else's input, influence, or expectations. While this is true for everyone, it can be an even more powerful experience for those of us who feel silenced and rendered invisible in any aspect of our lives. I am NOT offering therapy, but coaching can absolutely complement and supplement your therapy work. Instead, I offer a toolbox of methods, approaches, and experiments that most therapists do not. Tools designed to help you embrace your success without apology; create ease in a world of hardship; center yourself and ground in your own wisdom; and come into agreement with yourself regardless of the dissonance of others.

Shannon Gorres
Life Coach, MDiv, MA
I help people who identify all over the gender, sexuality, and relationship spectrum. Sometimes their relationships or identity challenges are the focus of their sessions because they need support for unique situations, and sometimes it's just one aspect of a different question, such as, "Do I really want to move to that conservative city for my dream job?"
For me, LGBTQ+ includes 2S, A, poly and more. I also have a graduate certificate in Sexuality and Religion, so I understand how some religious institutions have harmed queer people. And I see and know how queer people have sacred experiences within and outside of mainstream religion, with a wide variety of spiritualities.
I'm queer (gender fluid and pansexual). I've known this since I was 13 years old, before there was so much information via the internet. I've been though many transitions of how I express myself and relate with others. You are welcome to express your truest yourself, your realest questions, and your deepest needs.
