Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
As an ally supporting those with LGBT+ issues, I provide a safe and affirming space for individuals to explore their identities and experiences. Through active listening, empathy, and respect, I validate their feelings and help them navigate challenges they may face, such as discrimination, coming out, or self-acceptance. I offer education and resources on LGBT+ issues, including terminology, rights, and community support networks. Additionally, I advocate for equality and inclusion in all areas of life, challenging discrimination and promoting acceptance and understanding. My goal is to empower LGBT+ individuals to embrace their authentic selves, feel supported, and thrive in a society that values diversity and equality.

Dr. Evelyn Comber
Psychologist, L.C.P.C., Ph.D., M.A., M.P.C., M.H.S., B.G.S.
As an ally to LGBTQ+ people, I am committed to providing you with high quality service that suits your needs. Wherever on the rainbow you are, know that you are accepted and respected. I have some experience in this area, but hesitate to call myself an expert because, as you know, unless you are living and being in the world as an LGBTQ+ - you don't *really* know. However, I get regular training as an ally and am truly open to hearing your experience plus I bring 20+years of therapeutic knowledge of working with LGBTQ+ to the table.
