Alexis Hollingsworth
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I have worked with many clients struggling with their gender and sexual identities, often riddled with fear about what it would mean to explore this side of themselves. Together we can explore the many challenges you may be facing when it comes to either your gender, sexuality, or both and how we can help you to live a more authentic life for you.

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

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.
