Suzanna Freerksen
Psychiatrist, MD
I've always tried hard to make my office a safe space for LGBTQIA+ folx, and to provide gender-affirming care to best of my ability. I learned much at my externship at the Center of Sexual Health in Minneapolis in residency. I'm very femme, but that doesn't mean I don't honor other people's expression of gender and sexuality. Not much can shock or disgust me. Your identity is safe with me, and will be cherished and honored.

LGBTQ+ Issues
Peter Gould
Psychologist, Ph.D.
As a licensed clinical psychologist, I offer compassionate and effective treatment for members of the LGBTQ+ community. My approach, guided by evidence-based therapies, is tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual. Coming out is a deeply personal and transformative experience that can significantly impact mental health, often leading to emotions such as anxiety and depression. Addressing these mental health considerations is crucial for ensuring a supportive and healthy journey.
Individuals may struggle with feelings of isolation, difficulty revealing their true selves to family members, and defending their identity. My expertise extends beyond the coming-out process to include support for those who feel unsupported in their personal lives. I focus on helping clients feel more comfortable living authentically, navigate experiences of rejection, and gain a deeper understanding of their sexuality.
