Juliet Baxter
Therapist, LMFT
I know how important it is to feel safe from judgment with your therapist. While I work with all members of the LGBTQ+ community, I specialize in working with people who identify as bisexual. The experience of bi-erasure and bi-phobia in both straight and queer spaces is a unique challenge particular to members of the bisexual community.

Suzanna Freerksen
Psychiatrist, MD
I've always tried hard to make my office a safe space for LGBTQIA+ folx, and to provide gender-affirming care to best of my ability. I learned much at my externship at the Center of Sexual Health in Minneapolis in residency. I'm very femme, but that doesn't mean I don't honor other people's expression of gender and sexuality. Not much can shock or disgust me. Your identity is safe with me, and will be cherished and honored.

Russell Wilkie
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
Most LGBTQIA+ people have been subjected to ignorant and hurtful opinions – or worse, down right 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.

Jeremi R McManus
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
I have supported hundreds of couples over the past 15+ years who are LGBT or navigating a partner coming out, and look forward to helping you get your relationship where you want it to be. Poor communication? Broken trust? Endless arguments? I look forward to hearing from you.

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.

Chris Guthrey
Psychologist, PsyD
As a committed straight ally, I support gay men in navigating mental health challenges by fostering an environment of acceptance and understanding. I recognize the unique social differences gay men face, including stressors like societal stigma, internalized homophobia, and discrimination, which can contribute to higher rates of depression, anxiety, and substance use. By providing culturally sensitive care and a safe space for open dialogue, I aim to address these issues effectively, promoting well-being and resilience.
