LGBT Issues
Philip Cooke
Psychologist, PhD
Providing LGBT-affirming psychotherapy and assessment services has been a core part of my training, research, and clinical practice for the past 8 years. My doctoral research and post-doctoral fellowship focused on the psychological well-being of queer men and LGBTQ-affirmative health care. I continue to teach in graduate programs and provide consultation on working with LGBTQ-identified individuals and couples. I have substantial expertise in the psychological effects of discrimination, the intersection of race and gender/sexuality, identity exploration, ethical nonmonogamy, psychosocial and medical gender transition, queer men’s issues, and queer relationship concerns.
As a clinician, my practice has consistently focused on the needs of queer people, particularly those who may be on the margins of the LGBTQ community, including trans and nonbinary folx, non-monosexual people (e.g., bisexual, pansexual), queer people of color, and polyamorous and non-monogamous individuals and relationships. I work to understand the effects of other identities (race, class, ability, age, etc.) on my patient’s concerns and tailor treatment accordingly.

Natalie Stemati
Psychologist, Psy.D.
For anyone who is experiencing a transition in their gender and/or sexual identity. Our culture still operates under a binary view of female or male gender and a limited understanding of sexual identities. The reality is that both gender and sexuality are fluid for most people. We can work together to help understand your identities and how they interrelate.

David A. Heilman
Psychologist, Psy.D.
While receiving my doctorate in clinical psychology, I also received a graduate certificate in LGBT Health Policy and Practice. I used this experience to gain more insight into treating internalized heteronormativity and shame within the LGBTQIA+ communities.

Dr. James C. "Jay" Martin
Marriage and Family Therapist, D.Min., LMFT, AAMFT-S, CT, CFS, CEAP
I have dealt with family members and patients and clients who struggled with the discovery, clarification, response to, management of, and the coming out process as LGBTQ persons. I have also worked with persons who have experienced the negative impact of a predominantly heterosexual culture, such as rejection by family members, faith communities, coworkers, employers, and businesses; developing healthy spousal relationships without healthy models, finding needed social support without harassment or exclusion, overcoming legal and financial barriers to attain recognition & treatment in different settings equal to heterosexuals, etc.
