Erik Edler
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LMFT
This is an important time for LGBT people, one of great opportunity but also one of great challenge. When gay, lesbian, and bisexual people are looking for a therapist, they're looking for someone who really gets them. It's so much easier and you cover a lot more ground a lot faster when you have a therapist that really understands the issues specific to the LGBT community. I have a special calling and dedication to helping gay, lesbian, and bisexual people truly thrive.

Eric van der Voort
Psychologist, PsyD, CST, CSWT
As a psychologist treating individuals of Gender, Sexuality, and Relationship Diversity (GSRD), my practice is inclusive of those of all genders, sexual orientations, identities, kinks, relationship structures, and behaviors between consenting adults. I provide stigma-free, affirming, high-quality individual therapy to those in the LGBTQ+ and GSRD communities. I am committed to helping you feel safe, valued, and deeply respected.
Could you use a safe space to talk about your thoughts, feelings, challenges, and goals? Maybe you’re feeling confused about your sexual and erotic identity and attractions. Perhaps you’re seeking relationship help from someone who understands the challenges, stigma, and discrimination you face. If you find yourself outside of the strictly heterosexual, cis-gendered, and/or monogamous boxes, then you’ve come to the right place! No judgments. Just an offer for a strong support system with a unique knowledge base and skill set to help you on your journey.
If you are seeking help from a GSRD-affirming therapist or an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist, call me today. I would be happy to speak with you about how therapy might be helpful in reaching your goals.
