Andrew McKenzie, Psy.D.
Psychologist
As a gay psychologist, I understand that LGBTQ+ experiences are shaped by far more than identity alone. Whether you're navigating coming out, relationships, family dynamics, marginalization stress, or simply looking for a therapist who understands your lived experience, I offer an affirming space where every part of you is welcome. Together, we'll explore life's challenges with curiosity, compassion, and a focus on building a life that brings meaning, vitality, and purpose. My goal is to help you build greater flexibility in responding to challenging emotions and experiences so that your day-to-day rhythm feels more authentic, connected, and free.

Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist committed to supporting the mental health and well-being of the LGBT+ community, my approach to treatment is rooted in cultural humility, affirming the diverse identities and experiences of each individual. Through a safe and inclusive therapeutic space, I provide affirmative therapy that validates clients' identities, experiences, and challenges they may face due to societal stigma and discrimination. Utilizing culturally competent and evidence-based approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), narrative therapy, and interpersonal therapy, I work collaboratively with clients to address concerns related to coming out, family acceptance, relationship issues, and identity exploration. Additionally, I advocate for social support networks and community resources to facilitate connection and resilience. My goal is to empower LGBT+ individuals to navigate life authentically, foster self-acceptance, and thrive in their identities.
