Sherrelle Thompson
Counselor/Therapist, LAC
I provide affirming, culturally responsive counseling for individuals navigating LGBTQ+–related concerns, including identity exploration, coming out, family or faith-based conflict, relationship challenges, discrimination, and minority stress. I understand that these experiences can deeply impact self-esteem, mental health, and overall well-being, and I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel respected, valued, and fully seen.
My approach focuses on strengthening self-acceptance, building resilience, improving communication skills, and processing the emotional impact of rejection or stigma. Whether you are seeking clarity around your identity, support in relationships, or healing from past experiences, therapy offers a space to explore your journey with authenticity and confidence. My goal is to empower each client to live fully and freely while developing the tools needed for emotional health and meaningful connection.

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.

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.

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.
