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.

A Different Lens Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, LPC, ADHD-CCSP, NCC
I provide affirming, identity-aware therapy for LGBTQ+ individuals exploring sexuality, gender expression, relationships, and the impact of living in environments that may not always feel supportive. With personal and clinical understanding of identity exploration, minority stress, and internalized shame, I offer a space where you can show up fully without fear of judgment. Together, we explore identity, connection, self-acceptance, and the emotional patterns that shape your experience, helping you build resilience, clarity, and authentic self-expression.

Averill Hovey
Art Therapist, MA, MA, LPC-S, ATR-BC, EMDR
I provide an affirming and inclusive therapeutic space for LGBTQ+ clients navigating identity, relationships, family dynamics, life transitions, anxiety, grief, trauma, and the everyday complexities of living authentically. My approach recognizes that emotional distress does not exist in isolation and may be shaped by experiences of belonging, acceptance, discrimination, family or cultural expectations, and the process of understanding and expressing one’s identity.
Using art therapy, experiential and somatic approaches, mindfulness, and traditional talk therapy, I tailor our work to each person rather than assuming that identity itself is the problem to be addressed. Therapy can be a place to explore questions, strengthen relationships, process difficult experiences, and develop a deeper sense of connection with yourself.
Above all, I strive to create a space where all identities, relationships, and family structures are respected and where you can bring your whole self into the therapeutic process.

Elissa Chazdon
Counselor/Therapist, LMSW, LSW
Whether you're an LGBTQ+ parent or coparent building your own affirming approach to family life, or you're parenting a child who is LGBTQ+ and want to get support right, my groups offer a judgment-free space to build the skills that matter: affirming communication, navigating extended family or community reactions, and creating a home where your child — and your family — can be fully themselves.
