LGBT Issues
Jeffrey Gianelli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I know what it is like. We still live in a world where sadly there is hatred and violence. Even if you've never faced this yourself, the fact that it is there can affect you on a deep level. Fortunately the world is changing, but we still have a long way to go. Many of us as LGBTQIA+ individuals struggle with issues like depression or anxiety, especially social anxiety, chronic feelings of shame or worthlessness. Perhaps we are misunderstood or have been made to feel less-than due to our gender identity or non-binary status. I am someone who can listen and understand, and help you get to the roots of whatever might be holding you back.

Ana Velouise, Perinatal Mental Health Specialist
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
The route to parenthood for LGBTQ+ families is layered and complex. Whether you are choosing to receive fertility treatment, have a surrogate, foster, or adopt, building a family as a queer person requires intention, resources, and targeted information.
In addition to the stress and bias that comes with engaging with heteronormative medical and legal systems, you may be navigating changes to your identity and relationships. I’m here to validate your concerns and experiences, collaborate with you to develop new coping skills, and notice the joys that come with expanding your love to include children.

Chad Cryder
Psychologist, PhD
As a gay male, I understand the struggle, the feelings of isolation, and shame that can arise from coming to terms with our gender and sexual minority status. However, it is from our experiences where we find our strength and growth. You are not alone, and no matter where you fall within the LGBTQI+ community, I believe in your inherent greatness and want to help you believe it.

I thrive on helping others discover who they are and feel more empowered to be that person in every day life.
