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.

5 Pointes Wellness
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC, ACS, CST
Navigating identity, coming out, discrimination, and relationship dynamics can feel isolating. I provide culturally affirming care, advocate for self‑acceptance, and support integration of all aspects of your authentic identity. As a cis, hetero woman, I am an ally to those in the LGBTQ community.

Paula Kirsch
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CST
Affirming care means more than hanging a flag. It means you will not spend your session explaining yourself, educating your therapist, or wondering whether it is safe to say the real thing. I work with LGBTQ+ individuals and couples navigating identity, relationships, sexuality, and everything that comes with living authentically in a world that does not always make that easy. You can just be yourself here. That is the whole point.

Dr. Heidi Anderson Sauder
Psychologist, PhD, CGT, CST
People deserve to be seen and be safe! Advanced training and certification provides not only knowledge but an affirming and supportive space for LGBTQ+ couples to address their goals for change. Therapy recognizes the unique experiences and stressors that LGBTQ+ individuals and couples encounter, including identity exploration, family dynamics, discrimination, life transitions, and societal pressures.

North Stamford is the leafy, semi-rural northern section of Stamford, Connecticut, a neighborhood of winding roads and larger properties within one of the Northeast's wealthiest corridors. Its mental health concerns track affluent Fairfield County life — high-achievement family pressure, commuter strain, and the isolation that spread-out living can bring, particularly for older residents. Stamford's and Fairfield County's strong private therapy market serves the area.
