LGBTQ+ Issues
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.

LGBTQ+ Issues
Lisa Hawkins-Jack
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LMSW
It’s difficult to navigate in this world when you feel like you are different in someway, even if you’re comfortable with your sexuality, it’s a different journey for you than it is for most heterosexual couples. It’s often comfortable to talk with someone who understands that and can see things through your unique perspective.

LGBTQ+ Issues
Heather Watson-Perez
Psychologist, PhD
I provide affirming, inclusive care for individuals exploring or navigating LGBTQ+ identities. Therapy may focus on identity development, relationships, family dynamics, or coping with stress related to stigma or discrimination. My goal is to create a safe space where clients feel seen, supported, and empowered to live authentically.

LGBTQ+ Issues
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.
