Phillip McCulley
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, CSAT
I provide LGBTQ affirming therapy for individuals and couples who are navigating coming out, self acceptance, and the impact of sexual orientation or gender identity on family relationships. These experiences can bring a mix of relief, fear, grief, and hope, especially when family responses feel uncertain, unsupportive, or complex.
In therapy, I offer a space where you can explore your identity at your own pace without pressure or judgment. This may include working through internalized shame, fear of rejection, or questions about how and when to come out. I also help clients navigate conversations with family members, partners, or loved ones in ways that prioritize emotional safety and clarity.
For many people, this work involves redefining boundaries, strengthening self trust, and learning how to remain connected to others without compromising who they are. Whether you are seeking acceptance, repairing family relationships, or grieving the loss of hoped for support, my goal is to help you build a more grounded and authentic relationship with yourself and with the people in your life.

Thea Integrative Therapy: Celine R. Williams
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT #155675
As someone who proudly identifies as part of the LGBTQIA+ community, creating a safe and affirming space where you can show up exactly as you are is deeply personal to Celine. I’m passionate about cultivating an environment free of judgment, with no need to edit yourself. Let’s get messy and curious, together!
Whether you’re exploring your sexual identity or gender transition, pursing gender affirming care, navigating coming out to friends and family, working through LGBTQ relationship challenges, managing our hellish political climate, or healing from past (or current) trauma, I’m here to walk alongside you. My lived experiences provide an innate understanding of the intricacies of the queer experience; especially as impacted by the current political attacks on our community.
