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.

Phillip McCulley
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, CSAT
I provide LGBTQ affirming therapy for individuals and couples who are navigating coming out, self acceptance, and the impact of sexual orientation or gender identity on family relationships. These experiences can bring a mix of relief, fear, grief, and hope, especially when family responses feel uncertain, unsupportive, or complex.
In therapy, I offer a space where you can explore your identity at your own pace without pressure or judgment. This may include working through internalized shame, fear of rejection, or questions about how and when to come out. I also help clients navigate conversations with family members, partners, or loved ones in ways that prioritize emotional safety and clarity.
For many people, this work involves redefining boundaries, strengthening self trust, and learning how to remain connected to others without compromising who they are. Whether you are seeking acceptance, repairing family relationships, or grieving the loss of hoped for support, my goal is to help you build a more grounded and authentic relationship with yourself and with the people in your life.
