Dr. Kimberly E. Johnson
Psychologist, PsyD, HSPP, APIT
I have worked with LGBTQ clients for over a decade and consider myself an Ally. I am in tune to the unique challenges, bias and issues faced by this population. All to frequently LGBTQ clients all have been subject to trauma, disconnection from family, work or social discrimination based on their gender and sexual identity. Whether dealing with individual, partner or family issues I am an experienced resource.

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.

Therapist, LCSW, LICSW, ACSW, CSWA
Each individual enters therapy with a constellation of unique life experiences that shapes that individual. Experiences, biology, modes of thinking, and environment create who we currently are.

Gary D. Alexander
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, MFT, NCC
LGBTQIA+ individuals sometimes navigate unique challenges related to identity, relationships, family acceptance, and the impact of stigma or misunderstanding. In therapy we explore these experiences alongside the broader concerns many people bring to treatment, including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and patterns such as codependency. As this work unfolds, many people develop a stronger sense of authenticity, resilience, and emotional clarity in their lives.

Sarah Wolfer
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
You shouldn't have to spend your therapy sessions managing your therapist's learning curve about your identity. I built Courageous You specifically for LGBTQIA+ adults who want care that already understands their lives: the complexity of coming out (at any age, any number of times), identity-based trauma, minority stress, navigating family and community, gender exploration, and everything in between. I offer Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy for queer clients carrying depression, trauma, or the particular kind of exhaustion that comes from decades of not fully belonging. And I offer Somatic EMDR therapy and affirming individual or relationship therapy when KAP isn't the right fit. You deserve a therapist who gets it. Telehealth in WA, ID, and FL.

Matthew Wolfe
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, MHP
Queer and 2SLGBTQIA identities are constantly under attack in society but I know that our experiences extend far beyond those labels. WHile sexuality and gender may not be central to our work, the cultural and systemic intersections of those identities with our work will be honored and attended to.

Greta Carlson, Psy.D., ABPP
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
I am passionate about serving the LGBT community, for professional and personal reasons. I am attuned to the societal challenges faced by people who have been historically and socio-politically "othered" by society, and feel alert to the particular types of relational trauma experienced by those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, non-binary, and gender-fluid.

As a queer, nonbinary woman myself, I greatly enjoy supporting other members of the LGBTQIA+ community in exploring their sexual orientation and gender identity, navigating the process of coming out, and building relationships with people who are accepting and affirming of them.

I am especially passionate about supporting LGBTQIA+ folks who are working to build their families.

Philadelphia Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PsyD
Sexual orientations and identities are an integral part of the lens through which we experience the world around us. As human beings are social creatures, emotional, romantic, and/or sexual attractions to others are a common experience for us all. However, in an oftentimes heteronormative society, understanding and exploring what it means to be attracted to someone of the same sex, gender, or identity vector can be a confusing process. For some, trying to navigate the differences between romantic and sexual attractions might be a novel process as we are often taught to place emphasis largely on sexual compatibility. Even further, some might find that they are interested in folks from several sexual or gender identities in different ways. Whichever scenario is applicable to you, the clinicians at PCT firmly believe that having a safe space for this exploration is essential to figuring out what feels right for you and the relationships you wish to curate.
Additionally, navigating the “coming out” process can be its own challenge; much like other identity vectors, sexual orientation is greatly influenced by race, cultural background, ethnic group, religion, political identity, and ability status. The “coming out” process is not a linear process and we want to support you wherever you might be on your sexual identity journey. To that end, we at PCT highly respect each identity represented on the LBGTQIA+ spectrum. Each letter holds incredible weight by representing its own unique community of people with their own unique set of challenges. We want you to rest assured that, regardless of which LGBTQIA+ identity you hold, our clinicians are ready to provide you with affirming care as fierce advocates and allies of all sexual and gender identities.
Lastly, we know that for those coming in for couples therapy, there are a myriad of similarities and differences between those of LGBTQIA+ couples and straight couples. In this type of work, we remain open to exploring whichever issues seem most pressing to the couple. Depending on your relationship and personal history, you might find that there are several different areas you may wish to explore with your partner as you seek to bolster your relationship. Some examples of these are, and are not limited to, the following: navigating sexual identity changes mid-relationship, exploring LGBTQIA+ parenthood, coming out difficulties, sexual intimacy issues, examining relational trauma, and exploring polyamory. Regardless of your presenting concern, we look forward to working with you and joining you on your journey to continued self-discovery.

Ciera Coyan
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
As a queer/lesbian woman, it's been important to me from the start that my work focuses on LGBTQ+ clients. I have specialized training in queer and trans psychology. I have worked primarily with LBGTQ+ clients for the entirety of my career. Though it's not important for us all, for many of us a therapist who understands the specifics of queer community and culture is a huge bonus. I look for that in my own therapists, so I love providing that for clients as well!

Bonfire Healing - Bonnie Deopp, MS, LMHC, CN
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, CN, EMDR certified, Clinical Supervisor
Welcome, We're so glad you’re here! Bonfire Healing provides outpatient telehealth therapy with focus on complex mental health issues and developmental trauma along with co-occurring eating issues, addictions, chronic health conditions, nuerodiversity, and maladaptive behaviors. Our mission is to promote health equity through increasing access to evidence-based trauma treatment while utilizing insurance benefits so that this care is both high quality and affordable to more people as cost is the most common limiting factor for seeking therapy. We are well aware that for many of us in the LGBTQ+ community, the deepest wounds aren't just from personal events, but from systemic oppression and identity-based marginalization. We understand the struggle that in some circumstances the mental health field pathologizes or dismisses these experiences rather than acknowledging them as valid responses to an unjust world.
