LGBTQ+ Issues
Rory Valentine Diller
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., LMFT Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #139783
LGBTQ folks face a tidal wave of implicit messages, conditioning, oppression, and trauma amidst growing up in a heteronormative and sometimes unsafe world. I work with clients to dis-identify from toxic cultural conditioning and move towards empowerment and self-celebration. I have much experience working with LGBTQ survivors of violence, sexual trauma, substance and alcohol abuse, family trauma, poverty and abusive relationships as these issues affect LGBTQ people at disproportionate rates compared to our heterosexual, non-trans peers.

LGBTQ+ Issues
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.
