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.

Jessica Gioia
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA
If you or someone you’re close to belongs to the LGBTQ+ community, you deserve a therapist who shares your dedication to the healing and liberation of queer people everywhere. The community is vast, and an individual’s experience of their gender or sexuality are also impacted by factors such as race, ethnicity, class, religion, ability, and immigration status (to name a few). But for many of us, there is something about being in the company of other queer people that can jump-start a connection and allow us to express parts of ourselves that the rest of the world may not accept or understand. To feel appreciated and loved for these very parts can be extremely validating and essential to healing past wounds.

Dr. Bernadette Hinojos
Psychologist, Psy.D
As a queer, non-binary therapist, I am deeply committed to creating a safe, affirming, and empowering space for LGBTQIAA+ clients to explore their identities, relationships, and lived experiences. Whether you're navigating coming out, gender exploration, family dynamics, trauma, discrimination, or simply seeking a space where you don’t have to explain yourself—I’m here to meet you with respect, care, and authenticity.
My approach is rooted in intersectionality, gender-affirming care, and liberation-focused frameworks. I draw from CBT, ACT, narrative, and feminist therapies to support clients in processing the impacts of systemic oppression while reconnecting with their voice, values, and inner strength.
You deserve a space where all parts of you are seen, honored, and celebrated. Therapy with me is about healing, self-definition, and building the life you want—on your own terms.

Dr. Michael Grey, PsyD, LMFT, ABS
Marriage and Family Therapist, PsyD, LMFT
Navigating your identity, relationships, and mental health as an LGBTQ+ person can feel complex, exhausting, and at times, isolating. You might be questioning who you are, facing the challenges of coming out, or navigating the emotional ups and downs of transitioning. Perhaps you’re exploring nontraditional relationships or struggling with family dynamics, discrimination, or the weight of societal stigma. Whatever you’re carrying, you deserve a space where you can show up fully—without fear of judgment or having to explain yourself.
I’m here to offer you that space—one where your identity is not only seen but celebrated. My approach is sex-positive, trauma-informed, and rooted in decolonized, intersectional care that honors your lived experience. Together, we’ll unpack what’s holding you back, explore what truly matters to you, and nurture your path toward healing and self-acceptance.
Your identity is valid. Your experiences matter. And you don’t have to navigate this alone. In therapy, you’ll find support to process your struggles, celebrate your growth, and embrace your most authentic self—on your terms.
