Erik Edler
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LMFT
This is an important time for LGBT people, one of great opportunity but also one of great challenge. When gay, lesbian, and bisexual people are looking for a therapist, they're looking for someone who really gets them. It's so much easier and you cover a lot more ground a lot faster when you have a therapist that really understands the issues specific to the LGBT community. I have a special calling and dedication to helping gay, lesbian, and bisexual people truly thrive.

LGBTQIA+
At Campbell Teen and Family Therapy, Inc. (CTFT), our theory has always been that one should not be judged based on their race, their religion, their gender or their sexual orientation. There is a high correlation between depression, anxiety and suicide in the LGBTQIA population and LGBTQIA youth are especially at risk. Risk of emotional abuse, predators on the internet, judgment, hate crimes and they often live-in fear of what will happen when they come out. Those that are out may only be out to certain people and have to hide it from others, creating a state of constant anxiety. Being an adolescent is difficult enough, an age where you don’t know who you are and are insecure.

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, 107939
As a part of the community myself, I have focused most of my career in supporting the LGBTQ+ community and any other marginalized individual. I have experience in both gender and sexual identities (as well as a combination of the two). Nearly 90% of my clients are within the community. I know provide sliding scale EMDR options as this amazing treatment should be accessible to all.

Dr. Ingrid Solano
Psychologist, PhD
I am a member of, and advocate for, the LGBTQIA+ community. I am proud to provide affirming therapy and I have expertise in working with the experiences of sexual and gender minority individuals, and couples using CBT, DBT, and the Unified Protocol for emotional disorders. Together we can explore the impacts of coming out, internalized stigma, minority stress, intersectionality, discriminations, difficult family-of-origin relationships, giving and receiving support, families of choice, intimacy, sex, gender/sexual fluidity, identity, transitioning, and so much more. Together we can navigate the challenges of living in an oppressingly heteronormative world in order to form a healthy and affirming queer identity. Or, we don’t explore it at all - but we remain aware that they are out there and remain mindful. I am also proud to consider and provide capacity evaluations and letters of support for my transgender clients seeking gender affirming surgery.
I practice from an affirming, feminist, and anti-racist philosophy. This means that I unconditionally accept and value my clients’ gender, sexual, racial, cultural, and other identities. My practice takes into account each person’s unique experiences within contexts of social and systemic oppression, and the impact on your relationships. I practice from a place off cultural humility and allyship to black, indigenous, and other people of colour.
I have expertise in treating relationships and individuals navigating the impact of minority stress and discrimination. I practice affirming therapy that explores greater awareness and understanding of the ways in which emotional experiences and responses to experiences contribute to what is going on for you and your relationships. Navigating these challenges in your life has promoted strength and resilience in coping, paving the way for creative and successful approaches for managing future challenges. I help clients see these strengths in themselves, and create harmony and balance in their lives. I bring a stance of genuine curiosity and cultural competence that includes your different identities and their intersectionality.
