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.

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.

Russell Wilkie
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
Most LGBTQIA+ people have been subjected to ignorant and hurtful opinions – or worse, downright abuse. I have been bullied myself, so I have a passion for helping people work through this kind of trauma. The judgement, discrimination, rejection, or outright aggression can be crushing. Having a person deeply understand this and give you solutions can be extremely helpful and soothing. In addition to these and many other unique issues, you likely also have everyday issues in relationships, or depression or anxiety and I’m hear to help with those too.

Jesse Whittle-Utter
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #79783
As a queer-identified therapist who has worked with the LGBTQIA+ community for my entire career, I offer a safe, informed, and empathic partnership in helping you heal and thrive. Trauma and the quest for happiness are nearly universal, but the unique challenges and minority stress that LGBTQIA+ people feel shapes our emotional lives in particular ways.

Sarah Wagner LMFT Corp
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, MBA
Many LGBTQ+ individuals carry the cumulative impact of rejection, invisibility, or discrimination. Therapy focuses on understanding how these experiences affect the nervous system, attachment patterns, and internal self-talk.
Using IFS, we gently unburden parts that have learned to protect through withdrawal, perfectionism, or hyper-independence. Our work fosters self-compassion, emotional regulation, and secure connection in present relationships.
