LGBT Issues
John S. Wilks-Young Jr.
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, MBA, MHA, MHR, LMHC
It is my goal to work with the LGBTQLGBTQ+ community to create a safe area where clients can come to share their experiences and find solutions that are helpful and simple to implement. I think any of us can operate from a trauma-informed perspective and take action toward quantifiable achievement in our goals.

Ganga Mayee J Wasserman
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, RYT
There is no shame in any feeling or thought. You are not your diagnosis. When you learn that it's OK to express deep emotions and thoughts, you get yourself back. Make your own realizations, which empowers you. Non-judgmental: embracing all lifestyles, beliefs, faiths, and sexual orientations.

Dr. Nicole Parkes
Psychologist, PsyD
I approach LGBT issues with heartfelt understanding and a deep commitment to providing a safe, affirming space. I recognize the unique challenges and emotional complexities that can arise from navigating identity, societal pressures, and personal relationships within the LGBT community. I aim to offer a haven of acceptance and support, where each individual can explore their authentic self without fear or judgment. Together, we'll work towards healing from past hurts, embracing your true identity, and building a life filled with self-acceptance, pride, and joy. It's a journey of discovering one's strength and beauty in a world that is learning to celebrate diversity in all its forms.

Bold Expressions Therapy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
As a member of the LGBT community, and as someone who holds degrees both in psychology and LGBT Health and Policy, I couple an academic understanding of the unique disparities that come with these identities with a profound personal knowledge of them in my own life. Not all patients have had positive experiences with the medical community, so it is my hope that my education and bisexual identity will serve my patients in a way that makes them feel both heard and seen. I also recognize that our identities can be static, or they can be fluid, and that the coming out process isn’t something we do just once: we do it over and over again. I do not personally identify as cisgender, and so I approach the issues facing the transgender, nonbinary, genderqueer, and gender non-conforming communities with deep empathy and personal understanding. From fluidity to transitioning, hormone replacement therapy, to writing letters for surgery, I am committed to supporting my clients on their journeys. Not everyone experiences their own gender in the same way, so the discussion of gender as a construct and societal gender norms is at the forefront of our discussions in working through the big mess that is gender.

Chris Bartkowiak
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.Ed. LMHC
Over the past 25 years have had hundreds of clients with LGBT issues . I specialize in creating a safe, confidential environment
where you are able to share whatever you want to. For me it’s ridiculous how parts of humanity are still obsessed with a person’s sexuality.
