Alton Wampler
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S
From an Internal Family Systems perspective, LGBTQ+ issues often involve parts shaped by experiences of stigma, rejection, or the need to hide aspects of identity for safety. Protective parts may manage this by people-pleasing, hypervigilance, or self-criticism, while more vulnerable parts carry shame, fear, or longing for acceptance. Therapy supports clients in accessing Self to compassionately relate to these parts, fostering integration, authenticity, and a stronger sense of internal and relational safety.

Karen J. Osterle
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSSA, LICSW
No matter how many letters, numbers and symbols are added, there is no catch-all category of "LGBT issues," so this category simply signals that this is a very safe space for individuals and couples who happen to love someone of the same (or non-binary) gender to talk about what is getting in the way of full connection, full functioning, and full growth.

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.

John Burkin
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LMHC, LPCC, LCPC, CPL, Registered Member MBACP
Identifying as a member of the LGBT community is not enough in my humble opinion to qualify me to be of assistance to clients. I have invested time and effort attending workshops, and continuing education forums to learn about the vast range of lived experiences which are represented. I do not propose to be an expert in any one person's individual life rather I share a desire of curiosity to know and learn and align with the goals you wish to create to heal and feel better while you know you are in a safe, non-judgmental space to do so.
