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 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.

Dr. Sophia Aguirre
Psychologist, Ph.D., CGP, F-AGPA
I believe everyone deserves a judgment-free space to feel understood and to heal. I am passionate about creating an affirming and empowering therapeutic space that affirms all facets of your sexual and gender identity. I understand that members of the LGBTQ+ community face many of the same mental health concerns as the general population, but they also have a set of unique challenges that other communities don’t. Our queer and trans communities face unique stressors from living in a stigmatizing, heteronormative society. Living authentically in a world that’s not built for queer and gender diverse people can feel overwhelming — even impossible — at times. My goal is to create creating a safe and inclusive environment where you can focus on the concerns that bring you to therapy without fear of judgment, invalidation, or discrimination. I utilize bring an anti-oppressive approach to therapy that emphasizes the importance of understanding the effects of power, privilege, and oppression on the lives of our clients and our communities. With the use of culturally-affirming practice, I hope to empower you to be your most authentic self and to develop a deeper understanding and acceptance of your unique intersecting identities.

Dr. Wayne Bullock
Psychologist, PsyD, MEd
Identifying within a minority group creates a host of stresses, along with all of the other challenges of life. I have significant experience working with LGBTQ persons and understand the aggressions, micro and otherwise, that face these communities. I also understand the pressures that can arise from internalized messages from a heteronormative society. You deserve a space where you can unpack all of your feelings about these, as well as construct your narrative of who you are and where you want to be in life.

David A. Heilman
Psychologist, Psy.D.
While receiving my doctorate in clinical psychology, I also received a graduate certificate in LGBT Health Policy and Practice. I used this experience to gain more insight into treating internalized heteronormativity and shame within the LGBTQIA+ communities.
