Briana Marshall
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT
Navigating your identity, relationships and sense of belonging can feel complex, especially when you've had to hold parts of yourself back to feel safe and accepted. Many clients come in feeling unseen in their families, misunderstood in relationships, or exhausted from constantly reading the room. We offer a space where you don't have to explain or justify who you are, you get to just be. Together we'll explore your experience, strengthen your voice, and help you build relationships that feel affirming and secure.

I have a passion for, and specialize in, working with the queer community. My practice largely consists of clients who identify as LGBTQIA+. Sessions with me feel like a real conversation with clinical info and suggestions peppered in. I believe humor and joy are often useful to help shift perspective. My goal is for clients to learn how to live in the present so that they can engage more fully in their lives.

LGBTQ+ Issues
Heather Marriatori
Psychologist, PhD
Although your sexual or romantic orientation or gender identity may not be a source of distress, many find that the social stigma of living as a minority is a source of stress or anxiety. When seeking therapy, finding a qualified mental health professional who has experience and familiarity with the challenges members of the LGBTQIA community often face can be critical to successful therapy outcomes. You don't need to go it alone. Drop me a line and let's discuss how can work together to give you the meaningful life you deserve.

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.
