Elena Duong
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Acceptance and kindness is incredibly important in LGBTQIA+ spaces. For many, these spaces are a refuge from judgment, where people can show up as their full selves without fear. Practicing acceptance means honoring diverse identities and experiences, even when they differ from our own. Kindness ensures this acceptance is felt, not just stated—through listening, respect, and support. Together, they create environments where individuals can heal, grow, and build genuine connection.

Sara Gillooly
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, LPCC
As a queer and AuDHD therapist myself, I have lived experience in learning how to live a life that feels more authentic and grounded. I specialize in working with queer, highly sensitive, and neurodivergent adults struggling with the impacts of trauma as well as feelings of overwhelm, anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship challenges, difficult family relationships, and identity exploration. Ultimately, I'm not interested in "treating" your neurodivergence but I will support you wholeheartedly in navigating the complexities that come with it.
