LGBT Issues
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.

Amy Guido
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Finding a safe and supportive place to discuss your unique perspectives and needs is so important. Being in a nonjudgemental environment where you can explore what you value and desire is important for all of us and is particularly important if you have concerns about whether your therapist is LGBTQ+ friendly and affirming. Therapy should be a space where you can explore how you live and love in ways that work well for you and those you are in relationship with.

Telespera Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor
When people think of counseling, they might picture support for life’s common challenges, but inclusive counseling goes deeper—it acknowledges and celebrates the rich diversity of identities, relationships, and experiences within the LGBTQ+ community and beyond. For LGBTQ+ individuals, those in polyamorous relationships, or people exploring kink or other nontraditional expressions, counseling can provide a safe, affirming space to navigate unique challenges and embrace authenticity.
Life’s “speed bumps” may include navigating identity, facing discrimination, overcoming societal stigma, or dealing with rejection from loved ones. For those in polyamorous or kink-positive communities, additional challenges may arise, such as misunderstandings, judgment, or lack of support from traditional systems. Inclusive counseling offers a space free from shame or assumptions, where your relationships, preferences, and identity are seen, understood, and respected.
No two journeys of identity and self-discovery are the same. You might be exploring your gender or sexual orientation, navigating the dynamics of consensual non-monogamy, or seeking deeper self-acceptance in the context of kink. Whatever your path, inclusive counseling validates your experiences, providing compassionate support tailored to your unique life and relationships.
Sex-positive and affirming counseling creates a partnership built on respect and understanding. It’s a chance to explore challenges, celebrate successes, and process the “speed bumps” that might arise along the way. Whether you’re working through relationship dynamics, addressing societal stigma, or simply finding your voice in a world that often misunderstands, counseling is here to help.
The good news is that affirming, inclusive therapy is more accessible than ever. With approaches designed to honor your individuality and experiences, you can move forward with confidence, authenticity, and pride in who you are and how you love.

Dr. Florence Rosiello
Therapist, Ph.D.
Most of my work is with people who have difficulty in relationships, either feeling too emotionally isolated or too merged. My strength lies in helping people find a place where they can be in intimate relationships and not lose themselves. Loving is difficult - and feeling loved, is even harder.
