Shirley Johnson,
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CYT
As a trained sex therapist, I have deep respect for the journeys of the LGBTQ experience and acknowledge they are all not the same. Whether it is about communicating with one's partner, coming out to family, or exploring a budding sexuality or desire - I offer supportive and affirmative therapy to rise in confidence and compassion.

Leila Tabatabaee
Psychologist, PhD
I have been a part of and worked with the LGBTQIA community for decades. Each of our stories is unique. While sexuality and gender identity can be an important part of our journeys, they are also not the beginning and the end of them. I am confident in supporting you wherever you are in your journey.

Bonnie Rae
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I was in the LGBT specialization during my graduate studies at Antioch University (it was the first graduate LGBT psychology specialization at the time). I then went on to train at the LGBT Center, become a gender and sexuality educator and consultant for other practices, and a graduate psychology instructor who taught an ongoing workshop called "Lesbian Love and Liberation, Working with Lesbian Clients." My practice is known for our work with LGBTQ individuals, couples, partners, families and parents. We are not only LGBTQ affirmative, we are LGBTQ specialized and trained.

Anthony Canapi - Your Queer Relationship Therapist
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, AMFT
Being LGBTQPIA2S+ in a world that often misunderstands or marginalizes your identity can shape how you move through relationships, family systems, work, dating, and self-worth. You might be navigating coming out, cultural expectations, faith conflicts, chosen family, gender exploration, or simply the exhaustion of explaining yourself.
My work is grounded in LGBTQ+ affirmative psychology and lived experience. Therapy with me is not about defending your identity- it’s about deepening into it. Together, we’ll create space to unpack internalized messages, strengthen self-trust, explore authenticity, and build relationships that honor who you truly are. You deserve spaces where you are celebrated, not tolerated.

Wyatt Okeefe
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, LMHC, LPC, LPCC
Throughout my career, I have specialized in working with adults in the LGBTQIA+ community, with a particular focus on transgender and nonbinary individuals, partners navigating gender transition together, and supportive family members and friends. I also work with adults who have experienced childhood abuse and may be coping with trauma-related concerns, depression, anxiety, intimacy, and relationship challenges. My approach provides a supportive space to explore identity, relationships, healing, and personal growth. I do not provide traditional couples therapy.

Laura Anderson LPCC, Eff Shame Therapy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
You deserve a space where you are fully seen, not explained or tolerated. I work with LGBTQIA+ clients from a shame-free, sex-positive perspective, bringing years of experience and genuine investment in the specific ways that systemic harm, family rejection, religious trauma, and identity-based shame show up in our lives and bodies. I am completing certification in sexuality therapy and work from a trauma-informed approach that gets beneath the surface — because you came here to actually heal, not just be accepted. You already deserve acceptance. Let's get to the rest.
