Molly Toomey
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
For nearly two decades, I've worked closely with folks in the LGBTQIA+ community—queer, trans, questioning, and beyond! Whether you're grappling with identity, belonging, isolation, being valid or "queer enough", being a late bloomer/feeling like an impostor, struggling with invisibility or erasure, feeling torn between different desires, struggling with family members, or feeling intense stress and anxiety in the current political/social climate... this is a space for you to be yourself, to process openly, to be understood without having to explain yourself. My work, especially with queer and trans folks, is affirming and trauma-informed. I'm also kink-informed and friendly toward alternative sexualities and relationship models. I offer specialized support to LGBTQ+ folks who are also neurodivergent and/or immigrants.

Alistair Highet
Licensed Psychoanalyst, MA, LP, NCPsyA
Our sexuality is integral to our identity, and is deeply personal, and should be a source of joy and an avenue of discovery. Sometimes though we may have to be freed from our self-perception and judgments around that (and that of other people). We can talk about your unique experience in a free and non-judgmental way, and help you open a path to the fullest appreciation of your unique personhood.

Glenn Sample
Psychologist, Psy.D., MSCP
Your identity and experiences deserve to be understood and respected within the therapeutic relationship. I provide an affirming, non-judgmental space for LGBTQ+ individuals to explore the unique experiences, relationships, and challenges that may affect their emotional well-being.
Therapy can offer an opportunity to explore identity, self-acceptance, relationships, family dynamics, stress, anxiety, and other concerns in an environment where you can feel safe being yourself. My approach is collaborative and individualized, recognizing that every person’s experiences with identity and belonging are different.
Together, we can focus on your goals, build skills for navigating challenges, and strengthen your ability to live in a way that feels authentic and meaningful to you.

Dr. Yuye Zhang
Psychologist, PhD, MSW
I offer an affirming space for LGBTQ+ adults to explore identity, relationships, belonging, and the pressures that can come with navigating environments that may not fully understand or affirm who you are. Therapy can also provide room to explore the intersection of sexuality or gender with family, culture, race, and other parts of your identity, without asking you to separate one part of yourself from another.

Jerrod Johnson
Psychologist, PsyD
In therapy, we make space for difficult thoughts and emotions rather than fighting them so they have less control over your life. I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness to help people, including those from LGBTQ+ communities, reconnect with their values and move toward a more meaningful, authentic life.
