Juliette Grantham
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
I'm Juliette Grantham, a psychoanalytic psychotherapist working with LGBTQ+ clients.
Some of what brings queer and trans people to therapy is specific: coming out, or choosing not to, navigating family, faith communities, and workplaces that may or may not be safe, sorting through questions about gender identity or sexual orientation, or the accumulated exhaustion of minority stress. Some of it is ordinary life, brought to a therapist who does not need the basics explained first.
I work psychoanalytically, which means we can go past managing other people's reactions and into your own experience of yourself. The pressure to edit or soften parts of who you are carries an unconscious logic worth understanding, often learned early, and it tends to persist even in accepting environments. In sessions we pay attention to where that editing still happens, including with me.
Not everything weighing on you is yours to fix, and this work does not ask you to pretend otherwise. If you would like to talk, I would be glad to.

Lenny Gallo
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Being part of the LGBTQIA+ community can bring incredible strength and resilience—but it can also come with unique challenges. Even as acceptance grows, discrimination, judgment, and pressure to conform still impact daily life and mental health.
Whether you’re coming out, exploring your gender or sexual identity, navigating family dynamics, considering non-monogamy, raising children, or aging in a world that doesn’t always understand—you're not alone. These experiences can bring up anxiety, depression, shame, or isolation, and you don’t have to carry that alone.
Therapy offers a space to talk openly about identity, sex, relationships, and health—including informed sexual decision-making and options like PrEP—without fear of judgment.
You deserve affirming care that respects who you are and supports where you want to go. Together, we can help you feel more grounded, empowered, and aligned with your values.
