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.

Donald Glenn
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC
As a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, I consider it an honor and privilege to provide culturally-sensitive therapy services to my community. Outside of my own identity, I did additional training and research on LGBTQ+ mental health issues during my graduate training at Northwestern. While I see clients of any identity or orientation, I enjoy providing specialty services to this population. I also enjoy doing couples and relationship therapy within this community.
