XaHara A. MeGod
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC, R-DMT, CPT
I provide affirming, body-based care for LGBTQ+ individuals navigating coming out, gender exploration, family rejection, minority stress, or identity integration.

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.

Lisa J. Taylor
Psychologist, Ph.D.
If you are struggling to find joy or peace in any of your important relationships, please know that help and support are available! As a relationship therapist, I am committed to creating an affirming space for LGBTQ+ individuals, couples, and families, as well as for those in non-traditional relationships. I also welcome the opportunity to work with clients who are experiencing conflict about adapting to a child or other family member's change in expressed identity, such as when a family member shares that they are gay or trans. Differences in worldview can make it difficult to adjust to learning this new information, but I am here to help you understand and find new ways to connect to your loved one.

Dr. Amanda Malak
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist
With special attunement to providing support to LGBTQ+ individuals, I helppeople navigate challenges related to identity, coming out/letting in, relationships, and societal pressures. I support improving communication skills between family members with various belief systems fostering healthy relationships and developing coping strategies to enhance overall well-being. I offer a safe space where people can explore their feelings, choices, build self-acceptance, and address any concerns related to gender and sexual orientation. My approach includes using evidence-based therapies, such as CBT, to help manage issues like anxiety, depression, or discrimination that may arise. I specialize specifically with LGBTQ+ people from conservative backgrounds like conservative Muslims, Mormons, Christians, and many people from the Global South/Majority. Navigating these cultural dynamics adds a complexity that those from more progressive families and cultures may not understand.
