LGBTQ+ Issues
Inner Balance Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
I work with LGBTQ+ adults whose mental health concerns are rooted in trauma, identity-related stress, and systemic or relational harm. Rather than treating identity as the problem, therapy focuses on the impact of rejection, shame, minority stress, and complex trauma. Treatment emphasizes safety, self-acceptance, and healing from experiences that have made it unsafe to be fully yourself.

LGBTQ+ 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.

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.

LGBTQ+ Issues
Brittany Shannon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
For many people, trauma is not always a single event. It often comes from repeated experiences of discrimination, invalidation, or feeling/being unsafe being fully yourself. These are real and cumulative stressors that impact how you see yourself and how you relate to others. In therapy, those experiences are not minimized or treated as secondary. They are central to the work. I use evidence-based treatments and adapt them to fit your specific lived experience, including approaches like Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET), which allows us to integrate both positive and painful experiences into a more complete and grounded sense of self. The goal is not just symptom relief, but helping you move through the world with more clarity, stability, and self-trust.
