LGBTQ+ Issues
Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Psychotherapist & Psychoanalyst
As a fellow queer person, I offer a space where identity can be explored slowly and honestly in the therapy room. Our work will pay attention to the unconscious ways your history, culture, and lived experiences shape how you understand yourself in the world. Therapy becomes a place to make meaning of what has been carried quietly, soften internal conflict, and move toward a way of living that feels more authentic.

Kim Salinger
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, MBA, MSN, PMHNP, FNP, AHN
LGBTQ+ individuals may face unique stressors that can affect mental health, including anxiety, depression, identity-related stress, and the impact of social or relational challenges. I provide affirming, integrative psychiatric care that respects each person’s identity and lived experience, while also considering medical, hormonal, and nervous system factors that may contribute to symptoms. Visits focus on support, understanding, and thoughtful medication management when appropriate, with the goal of helping patients feel more stable, confident, and supported in their well-being.
