Dr. Caroline Hicks
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Sexual orientation and gender identity development are my areas of focus, and we use this space to make sure all intersecting identities (e.g., racial, religious, political, national) are considered as you find your authentic path in the world. This space is one where we can focus on your sexual orientation and/or gender identity development, or use these identities as a source of context to our work. In addition, I work with many trans*, non-binary, gender nonconforming, gender fluid, and other gender expansive folx as they embark on their path of congruence. In addition, I write letters of support for gender affirming surgeries/medical procedures.

Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
LGBTQ+ issues are ones which are close to my heart as I am a gay-identified man. LGBTQ+ individuals share many unique experiences due to their sexual orientation and gender identity. The symptoms that result from those experience are often more accurately understood by a psychologist who has shared in those experiences. This understanding facilitates greater affirmation and validation of your needs, along with designing a more effective approach to achieve your desired symptom relief. Helping people in our LGBTQ+ community is one of the primary reasons I decided to become a psychologist.

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.
