Alena Porter
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC
I welcome all LGBTQ+ clients and I practice LGBTQ affirmative therapy. I also provide gender exploration and affirmation therapy. I have treated many same sex clients over the years and many bisexual or pansexual clients who may practice polyamory or non-monogamy.

Beth Janis
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Everyone deserves to feel seen, understood, and - most importantly - safe, and especially so in this current sociopolitical climate. I prioritize making my sessions safe and inclusive for all members of the LGBT+ community, and I'm here to partner with you as you navigate the current stressors you may be facing. Whether you're wanting to increase self-understanding, explore relationship patterns, or navigate other areas of your life, you deserve to be able to hold all aspects of your identity with compassion and care.

Amanda Ezell
Counselor/Therapist, LPC (AL & GA), LMHC (FL), NCC, BC-TMH
LGBTQIA+ clients deserve therapy where their identities are understood as part of who they are, not automatically treated as a clinical problem. I provide affirming care for adults exploring identity, navigating relationships, coping with minority stress, managing family or social concerns, or addressing mental health concerns completely unrelated to their identity. You should not have to spend your therapy session teaching your therapist how to understand you.

Conor Hogan
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I am an LGBTQ+-affirming therapist with experience working with individuals across the gender and sexuality spectrum, and I continue to pursue training in this area. I understand the importance of feeling safe with a therapist and am sadly aware of the harm the field (both intentional and unintentional) has done to people of various marginalized identities. I also do not make any identity the center of therapeutic work unless it is something the client wants to work on.
