Dr. Anna Smith
Psychologist, PsyD, MEd, MA
Navigating coming out, identity exploration, minority stress, family rejection, or the unique challenges that can arise in queer, trans, or non-heteronormative relationships takes courage and support. I provide an affirming, kink- and trans-friendly space to process these experiences, reduce the weight of shame or external pressure, and build authentic connections—with yourself and with partners. Whether you’re working on individual identity, relationship dynamics, or creating the kind of intimacy that truly fits who you are, therapy here honors all parts of you.

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.

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!

Kaijah Bjorklund
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LMHC
Discovering and living your authentic self in the areas of gender and sexuality should be something to celebrate — but in a world that still too often meets queerness with fear or shame, that journey can be complicated, painful, and isolating. I offer affirming, gender-inclusive therapy that holds space for all of who you are, without pathologizing or minimizing your experience. Whether you're navigating coming out, internalized shame, identity questions, discrimination trauma, or the unique stress of living in a heteronormative world, you belong here — fully and without editing yourself.

Dr. Walter J. Matweychuk
Psychologist, Ph.D.
When bias and discrimination are part of a person's problems, I show them how not to anger themselves and then how to address the prejudice and discrimination constructively. In cases where people are shameful about their sexuality, I teach them how to unconditionally accept themselves and never to shame themselves for who they are and what they like both sexually and non-sexually.

Jacqueline Elster
Psychologist, PsyD, HSPP, LP
My near 20 years of experience has helped me develop an approach to therapy that involves providing a supportive and affirming environment where you can explore their identity and experiences while feeling accepted and affirmed. It is important to acknowledging and validating the unique challenges faced by LGBT+ individuals, such as discrimination, internalized homophobia, and coming out. Therapy can help address issues you may have related to self-acceptance, relationship dynamics, and coping with societal pressures. By fostering a safe space, my hope is to empower you to develop resilience, enhance self-esteem, and build healthier, more fulfilling lives.

Dr. Amy Hecht
Psychologist, PhD
I work with individuals and couples across the LGBTQ+ spectrum, supporting a wide range of experiences related to identity, relationships, and family building. This can include exploring questions of identity and self-understanding, navigating coming out, managing family dynamics, and building affirming, meaningful relationships.
I have particular experience working with LGBTQ+ individuals and couples pursuing non-traditional paths to parenthood, including adoption, surrogacy, and donor conception. I understand both the unique stressors and the profound strengths that can come with these journeys.
My approach is affirming, nuanced, and grounded in deep respect for each person’s lived experience. I aim to create a space where clients feel fully seen and understood, while also helping them navigate challenges with clarity, confidence, and a strong sense of self.

Maria T. Alonso, Ph.D.
Psychologist
In my work with LGBTQ+ individuals in psychotherapy, I strive to create a warm and supportive environment where clients can explore and embrace their authentic selves. I understand the unique challenges they may face, such as issues related to gender identity, sexual orientation, navigating relationships, and experiences of discrimination. By using a compassionate and non-judgmental approach, I help clients address these concerns while affirming their identity and experiences. I custom tailor therapy to meet each person where they are at, recognizing and valuing their individual history and circumstances. Whether it's processing feelings of uncertainty, building self-esteem, or developing strategies to handle discrimination, my goal is to support clients in living fully and confidently as their true selves, empowering them to build meaningful and fulfilling lives.

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.

Seattle's tech economy — driven by Amazon, Microsoft, and a dense startup ecosystem — has made burnout, imposter syndrome, and the social costs of rapid wealth inequality prominent themes in local therapy. The "Seattle Freeze" — a widely noted phenomenon of difficulty forming close friendships — means therapists here frequently address loneliness, social anxiety, and the challenge of building genuine community in an outwardly welcoming but emotionally reserved city. Seattle's progressive culture sustains strong demand for LGBTQ+-affirming therapists, neurodiversity specialists, and practitioners working with race, identity, and social justice themes. UW Medicine and Swedish Medical Center provide institutional mental health resources alongside one of the most therapist-dense cities in the Pacific Northwest.
