LGBTQ+ Issues
Tim Eby-McKenzie
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
My experience with the LGBTQ+ community stems from working over a long period with clients and in personal relationships as a straight ally. Discrimination, rejection, implicit and pervasive bias, legal challenges and the long-term impact of never "belonging" are all just some of the detrimental impacts of simply being. My work with LGBTQ+ clients focuses on meeting the client wherever they are and providing support, encouragement, psycho-education, and other interventions to promote both healing and growth.

LGBTQ+ Issues
Dr. Eric van der Voort
Psychologist, PsyD, CST
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.

LGBTQ+ Issues
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.
