I am pansexual, part of the queer community, and a majority of my clients identify as queer or LGBTQ. I have written over 40 gender-affirming letters and I love that this part of my practice.

LGBTQ+ Issues
Allen Shamon
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
LGBTQ+ individuals may experience minority stress related to societal prejudice, discrimination, and stigma, which can have significant impacts on their mental health and well-being. I help clients identify and cope with the stressors they face, develop resilience and coping strategies, and process any trauma related to discrimination or harassment.

LGBTQ+ Issues
Stephanie Miodus
Psychologist, PhD, NCSP
I specialize in providing affirming and inclusive care for LGBTQ+ individuals, including autistic and other neurodivergent clients. My approach emphasizes adapting therapeutic strategies to meet the unique needs of each individual while fostering a supportive and validating environment. I have experience advocating for and facilitating access to gender-affirming care, including providing letters of support for gender-affirming medical treatments.
In my work with LGBTQ+ youth, I prioritize family collaboration and use evidence-based practices, including the Family Acceptance Project’s family model, to strengthen relationships and promote mental health and well-being. I also provide guidance around gender identity exploration, helping clients navigate transitions and develop self-acceptance. My goal is to empower individuals and families by offering compassionate, identity-affirming care grounded in respect, understanding, and advocacy.
