The social, political and family dynamics for LGBT people can be intense. While I am seeing fewer families rejecting their children, there are still challenges. I am here to listen and help.

Iris Bowen
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, MBA
As a queer therapist, I am well versed in LGBTQIA+ issues and experiences and provide gender-affirming care based in both personal experience and professional education. I am a cis therapist holding a certificate in Affirmative Therapies for Transgender Communities and am intentional in continuing my education to provide high-quality care to trans and enby folks. One of my values as a cis therapist is to educate myself on trans issues so that my trans clients don’t have to. From it’s inception, my practice primarily works with queer and trans people of color.

Salutaris Psychotherapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
LGBTQ+ issues can involve much more than labels—they often touch identity, family, relationships, culture, faith, safety, belonging, and the pressure of deciding when and how to be fully yourself. In therapy, I provide an affirming space for clients exploring coming out, self-acceptance, relationship concerns, cultural identity, shame, rejection, or the stress of balancing different parts of themselves in different worlds. My style is warm, practical, sometimes humorous, and grounded in real life. Together, we work toward clarity, confidence, healthier relationships, and a stronger sense of living in a way that feels honest and aligned with who you are.

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.

Emily Stone
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, MDiv, PhD, LMFT-S
LGBTQIA+ & Queer-Affirming Care
Living Authentically Beyond the Binary and the Burden
In a society that often demands conformity, the act of living authentically as a queer, trans, or non-binary individual is both a triumph and a labor. I provide a specialized, deeply affirming space where your identity is not a "topic to be managed," but a sacred part of your humanity. With my background in the QTAP Certification Training, I offer more than just "tolerance"—I offer a high-level clinical understanding of the unique stressors and joys inherent in the LGBTQIA+ experience.
Navigating the Minority Stress System
We don't just look at your internal world; we use Systems Theory to address how the external world impacts your mental health. We work through:
Minority Stress & Burnout: Addressing the chronic exhaustion that comes from navigating heteronormative and cisnormative systems.
Internalized Shame: Deconstructing the "inner critic" shaped by religious or social constructs of inequity.
The "Coming Out" Evolution: Supporting the ongoing process of disclosure with family, workplace, and spiritual communities.
For Individuals & Couples: Queer-Specific Relational Care
Using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Attachment Theory, I help LGBTQIA+ individuals and couples build secure, resilient bonds:
Chosen Family & Community: Exploring the vital role of non-traditional support systems in your healing.
Navigating Transition: Providing clinical support for individuals and their partners through the emotional and systemic shifts of gender transition.
Spiritual Deconstruction: With my Master of Divinity, I provide a rare sanctuary for queer individuals to process spiritual trauma and reclaim a sense of meaning without sacrificing their identity.
Affirming Your Narrative
Whether you are navigating rejection sensitivity from family, seeking letters for gender-affirming care, or simply want a therapist who understands the nuances of queer life without you having to explain them, I am here.
"The healing space generated between therapist and client is one of the greatest honors of my life." In this space, you are seen, you are safe, and you are celebrated.

Jonathan Hock -- Men's Work
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Questions around sexuality and gender for men are often lived in silence, shaped by expectation, shame, or confusion about what it means to be oneself. I offer a space to explore these experiences without pressure to define or resolve them too quickly. Together, we examine identity, desire, and the tension between authenticity and belonging, while working through internalized narratives that may no longer serve you. The aim is not to force clarity, but to help you arrive at a way of being that feels honest, embodied, and fully your own.

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.

Tina Nickels

I have the lived experience of being persecuted for my sexual orientation. I was a late bloomer and my coming out was not traumatic or painful. Yet, I understand what you are going through. I am very open-minded and there is no judgment here. I believe everyone should have a seat at the table.
