LGBTQ+ Issues
Christina Song
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT-S
I provide affirming, trauma-informed therapy for LGBTQ+ individuals and relationships. I understand that distress often arises not from identity itself, but from navigating stigma, discrimination, family rejection, and systems that were not built with queer and trans people in mind. Therapy is a space where your identity is not questioned, explained, or treated as a phase—it is respected and affirmed.
In our work together, we may explore identity development, relationships, boundaries, trauma, and the impact of chronic stress on your nervous system and sense of safety. I approach care with cultural humility, consent, and an awareness of power, offering support that centers resilience, self-trust, and authenticity. Therapy with me is about creating space to breathe, to heal, and to live more fully as yourself.

LGBTQ+ Issues
Sarah Malone
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
LGBTQ+ life: equal parts messy, fabulous and exhausting. Constantly having to explain yourself, navigating pronouns and labels, family chaos and expectations, or wondering if you'll be accepted today. Figuring out identity, safety and acceptance in a world that doesn't always get it is hard. I see it and I get it and I'll be here for it. I'll listen while offering support on the very real struggles you are facing. Let's connect and we will figure it out together.

LGBTQ+ Issues
Dr. Stacie McPherson
Psychologist, M.A., Psy.D., Licensed Psychologist
LGBTQ+ individuals often carry experiences that shape mental health in specific ways such as: minority stress, family rejection, microaggressions, the labor of coming out repeatedly, and navigating a world that still requires extra vigilance. I provide affirming therapy for queer and trans adults, with expertise in identity exploration, relationship concerns, trauma, and the intersection of LGBTQ+ identity with anxiety, depression, and trauma. As a queer psychologist I bring both lived understanding and clinical depth to this work.

Greta Carlson, Psy.D., ABPP
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
I am passionate about serving the LGBT community, for professional and personal reasons. I am attuned to the societal challenges faced by people who have been historically and socio-politically "othered" by society, and feel alert to the particular types of relational trauma experienced by those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, non-binary, and gender-fluid.

Rebecca Castle-Waller
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Hi! Scary world out there, huh? I don't know about you, but it feels like since Obergefell v. Hodges things have been getting scarier and scarier for our community. If you're feeling anxious, exhausted, outrage fatigued, sad, or any of the other big feels that makes so much sense! Let's give you a space to process that and build the skills that you need to be able to thrive. In a world like this, our most powerful resistance is to choose joy in the face of oppression.

LGBTQ+ Issues
Damon Dodge
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
LGBTQ+ individuals deserve therapy that recognizes their complete humanity. Whether addressing identity exploration, family dynamics, workplace challenges, or relationship concerns, your sexual orientation and gender identity provide important context rather than defining the problem. I offer affirming care that honors your lived experience while addressing whatever brought you to therapy. My training focuses on understanding minority stress, internalized oppression, and the unique resilience LGBTQ+ people develop.

Catherine Bitney
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
As a queer, nonbinary individual, I have a soft spot for the LGBTQ++ community and about half my clients identify as sexual or gender diverse. As a university professor, I enjoy working within a professional setting to show students that you can be accepted, celebrated, successful, etc. as a queer and gender nonconforming professional.

Denver's outdoor culture and apparent wellness orientation coexist with high rates of depression, anxiety, and substance use — a tension many locals recognize. The city's rapid growth and housing pressures have intensified stress for longtime residents and newcomers alike, and therapists frequently address adjustment, relationship strain, and burnout tied to the city's boom-era pace. Denver has a significant veteran population given proximity to several military installations, and therapists specializing in military trauma and PTSD are well represented. UCHealth and SCL Health provide major institutional anchors alongside Denver's large and well-established independent therapy community.
