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.

Christina Walthers
Counselor/Therapist, MS, APC
We queer folks often carry both the weight of being misunderstood and the beauty of finding ourselves outside of expectation. I'm especially passionate about supporting queer, trans, and gender-diverse folks (LGBTQ+ folks) and am committed to offering a space that is deeply affirming, grounded, and genuinely welcoming. Here, you do not have to translate yourself or explain the basics of your experience. You can simply be you, however you show up in the moment. Together, we make room for what has been painful, confusing, or isolating, while also staying close to what is resilient, creative, and uniquely yours. My hope is that you feel seen, respected, and met with care, and that our work supports a kind of healing and growth that feels authentic, empowering, and truly your own.

Matthew Reeves
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, CRC, NCC
Being part of a marginalized community can be isolating and painful, especially if people you love reject such a defining aspect of your identity. Claiming your values and making authentic, affirming connections is part of the healing process.
