Alena Porter
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC
My goal as a therapist is to create a safe non-judgemental space for all clients, especially clients who may not click with other therapists such as LGBTQ+, gender diverse, polyamorous or non-monogamous, and kink practicing clients. During our sessions you can be your true self. You don't have to mask with me or hide things about you that you think are weird or unlikeable. Ideally I can help you learn to like those aspects of yourself. You never have to hide important parts of your identity with me because I will never judge you for any reason.

Allen Wood
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I'm a psychologist with expertise in working with anxiety, depression, dissociation, and the full range of traumatic experiences and specialize in supporting clients who feel that therapy isn't for them. In working with me you can expect a high level of collaboration, dedication to your success, and lots of nerdy metaphors. I draw from interpersonal neurobiology, developmental psychology, and attachment theory to make evidence-based therapy models less generic and more useful for your specific situation.
