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.

John Burkin
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LMHC, LPCC, LCPC, CPL, Registered Member MBACP
Identifying as a member of the LGBT community is not enough in my humble opinion to qualify me to be of assistance to clients. I have invested time and effort attending workshops, and continuing education forums to learn about the vast range of lived experiences which are represented. I do not propose to be an expert in any one person's individual life rather I share a desire of curiosity to know and learn and align with the goals you wish to create to heal and feel better while you know you are in a safe, non-judgmental space to do so.
