Jess Williams
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSS, LCSW
It's hard to be queer, gay, trans, or otherwise gender-and-sexuality expansive in a world that (increasingly) doesn't accept you for you who you are, thinks you're "making a choice," or quite frankly doesn't want you to exist. As a queer-identified therapist, I understand what a major difference it can make to have support people in your life, AND I know that not everyone has those people. By specializing in working with the queer community, I have made it my goal to create an open, honest, and truly (not performatively) supportive space where you can be who you are and bring what you really need support with to the table. Whether it's exploring your identities, finding community, setting boundaries with challenging people who don't accept you, exploring gender-affirming care, or showing up authentically in relationships, I can help.
Starting therapy can be anxiety-provoking at times, which is why I offer free consultations to all prospective clients. You can book a free 20 minute phone call directly on my website, and I'll reach out to you right away to confirm. We can chat about what you're looking for support with AND make sure everything feels like a good fit before scheduling an intake. I can't wait to connect with you!

Dr. Berkeley Antonioli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, PhD, LCSW, LCSW-C, MEd
I have studied gender and sexuality spectrums since beginning my undergraduate career in 2005, largely as a result of my lived experiences with caregivers who were very polarized around topics of sex and gender. I consider myself an ally & serve a diverse client population with folks identifying across the LGBTQIA+ spectrum, as well as folks participating in kinky sex and ethical non-monogamy.

Julien Moe
Hypnotherapist, Diploma in Clinical and Applied Hypnosis, Diploma in Life Coaching
To be gay or lesbian is inborn and you should be proud of yourself. "I am here to help you build a bold & real you!"
"Out of the Closets and into the Streets"
"We are here & We are Queer."
I will help you transform yourself into a King or Queen or both.
"Gay by birth, fabulous by choice"
"My life, my rules"
"Let me help you build a real you with a touch of care"
LGBTQ+ identities are not disorders and do not require a "cure" or treatment, but hypnotherapy can support mental health, self-acceptance, and stress management. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and confidence building, especially regarding coming out or navigating discrimination.

Psychologist, PsyD
Sexual orientations and identities are an integral part of the lens through which we experience the world around us. As human beings are social creatures, emotional, romantic, and/or sexual attractions to others are a common experience for us all. However, in an oftentimes heteronormative society, understanding and exploring what it means to be attracted to someone of the same sex, gender, or identity vector can be a confusing process. For some, trying to navigate the differences between romantic and sexual attractions might be a novel process as we are often taught to place emphasis largely on sexual compatibility. Even further, some might find that they are interested in folks from several sexual or gender identities in different ways. Whichever scenario is applicable to you, the clinicians at PCT firmly believe that having a safe space for this exploration is essential to figuring out what feels right for you and the relationships you wish to curate.
Additionally, navigating the “coming out” process can be its own challenge; much like other identity vectors, sexual orientation is greatly influenced by race, cultural background, ethnic group, religion, political identity, and ability status. The “coming out” process is not a linear process and we want to support you wherever you might be on your sexual identity journey. To that end, we at PCT highly respect each identity represented on the LBGTQIA+ spectrum. Each letter holds incredible weight by representing its own unique community of people with their own unique set of challenges. We want you to rest assured that, regardless of which LGBTQIA+ identity you hold, our clinicians are ready to provide you with affirming care as fierce advocates and allies of all sexual and gender identities.
Lastly, we know that for those coming in for couples therapy, there are a myriad of similarities and differences between those of LGBTQIA+ couples and straight couples. In this type of work, we remain open to exploring whichever issues seem most pressing to the couple. Depending on your relationship and personal history, you might find that there are several different areas you may wish to explore with your partner as you seek to bolster your relationship. Some examples of these are, and are not limited to, the following: navigating sexual identity changes mid-relationship, exploring LGBTQIA+ parenthood, coming out difficulties, sexual intimacy issues, examining relational trauma, and exploring polyamory. Regardless of your presenting concern, we look forward to working with you and joining you on your journey to continued self-discovery.
