Dr. Lindsay Perrin
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I am committed to providing LGBTQ+ affirming care and creating a therapeutic environment where clients feel respected, understood, and free to be their authentic selves. For some individuals, questions related to sexual orientation or gender identity may be a central focus of therapy; for others, these aspects of identity are simply one part of a broader life experience. Regardless of what brings you to therapy, I strive to foster a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can openly explore your concerns, build on your strengths, and work toward meaningful change.

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.

Jess Clodfelter
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LCMHC, LPC, NCC, CCTP-II
You don’t need therapy where you’re educating your therapist on the basics of your identity — you need one where you can actually get support. I work primarily with LGBTQ+ folx, especially trans and nonbinary clients, navigating identity exploration, dysphoria, relationships, and the stress of existing in systems that weren’t built with you in mind. This is a space where you don’t have to shrink yourself, explain yourself, or brace for weird reactions. We focus on helping you feel more grounded in who you are, build self-trust, and move through the world with a little more clarity and a lot less second-guessing.
I also provide gender-affirming surgery letters through a collaborative, non-gatekeeping process, so you can access the care you need without unnecessary barriers or hoops to jump through.

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.

Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
LGBTQIA+ identities are often treated as something to analyze or explain—but for many people, the real challenge is navigating a world that doesn’t consistently feel safe, affirming, or understanding. Whether you’re exploring your identity, coming out, navigating relationships, or dealing with family, cultural, or religious dynamics, there’s often a lot to hold. Experiences of discrimination, invisibility, or having to constantly assess safety can take a real toll—especially when you’re expected to keep functioning as if it’s not happening.
At Nour Counseling, our care is explicitly affirming—not neutral, not “tolerant,” but actively supportive and celebratory of who you are. Most of our clinicians identify as LGBTQIA+ themselves, which means you’re not starting from a place of having to explain or justify your experience. We prioritize helping you build a sense of belonging—within yourself, in your relationships, and in the spaces you move through. We also address the impact of religious messaging or trauma that may have shaped how you see yourself, creating space to unpack and redefine those experiences on your own terms. Along the way, we name the broader systems and narratives that impact LGBTQIA+ individuals, so you’re not internalizing something that was never yours to carry. This is a space where you can show up as you are and focus on building a life that actually fits.

Couples Counseling Center
Counselor/Therapist, Ph.D., LPC
LGBTQ+ couples face all the usual relationship challenges, plus the added stress of being misunderstood, judged, or navigating systems that weren’t built with you in mind. I provide a safe, affirming space where you don’t have to explain who you are before we get to the work of healing, growing, or reconnecting. Your relationship deserves support that sees and respects your whole story.

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.

Dr. Amanda Malak
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist
With special attunement to providing support to LGBTQ+ individuals, I helppeople navigate challenges related to identity, coming out/letting in, relationships, and societal pressures. I support improving communication skills between family members with various belief systems fostering healthy relationships and developing coping strategies to enhance overall well-being. I offer a safe space where people can explore their feelings, choices, build self-acceptance, and address any concerns related to gender and sexual orientation. My approach includes using evidence-based therapies, such as CBT, to help manage issues like anxiety, depression, or discrimination that may arise. I specialize specifically with LGBTQ+ people from conservative backgrounds like conservative Muslims, Mormons, Christians, and many people from the Global South/Majority. Navigating these cultural dynamics adds a complexity that those from more progressive families and cultures may not understand.
