Anthony Canapi - Your Queer Relationship Therapist
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, AMFT
Being LGBTQPIA2S+ in a world that often misunderstands or marginalizes your identity can shape how you move through relationships, family systems, work, dating, and self-worth. You might be navigating coming out, cultural expectations, faith conflicts, chosen family, gender exploration, or simply the exhaustion of explaining yourself.
My work is grounded in LGBTQ+ affirmative psychology and lived experience. Therapy with me is not about defending your identity- it’s about deepening into it. Together, we’ll create space to unpack internalized messages, strengthen self-trust, explore authenticity, and build relationships that honor who you truly are. You deserve spaces where you are celebrated, not tolerated.

Bonnie Rae
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I was in the LGBT specialization during my graduate studies at Antioch University (it was the first graduate LGBT psychology specialization at the time). I then went on to train at the LGBT Center, become a gender and sexuality educator and consultant for other practices, and a graduate psychology instructor who taught an ongoing workshop called "Lesbian Love and Liberation, Working with Lesbian Clients." My practice is known for our work with LGBTQ individuals, couples, partners, families and parents. We are not only LGBTQ affirmative, we are LGBTQ specialized and trained.

I have been a part of and worked with the LGBTQIA community for decades. Each of our stories is unique. While sexuality and gender identity can be an important part of our journeys, they are also not the beginning and the end of them. I am confident in supporting you wherever you are in your journey.
