The Caruso Wellness Center PLLC
Marriage and Family Therapist, DMin, MART, MA, ALMFT
I provide LGBTQ+ affirming counseling in a safe, compassionate, and judgment-free environment where you can be your authentic self. As an openly gay man, I understand firsthand that navigating questions of identity, relationships, family dynamics, faith, discrimination, and belonging can be both deeply personal and, at times, emotionally exhausting. My role is not to tell you who you should be, but to walk alongside you with respect, empathy, and clinical expertise. Whether you are exploring your identity, coping with minority stress, healing from rejection or religious trauma, strengthening your relationships, or simply seeking a therapist who understands LGBTQ+ experiences, I offer gender-affirming and sexuality-affirming care grounded in Adlerian principles of encouragement, belonging, and personal growth. Every client is welcomed with dignity, respect, and the belief that healing flourishes in an atmosphere of acceptance and genuine human connection.

Alongside our work together, I hold an advocacy-oriented perspective, supporting you in navigating challenges while honoring your identity and lived experience.

Susan Killelea
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Sex Therapist
Exploration of sexual orientation, gender identity and expression are journeys that often continues after "coming out" or personally acknowledging your orientation and identity. You may want help in defining new feelings, support in affirming your gender, or guidance in informing others of changes. Therapy may help you learn more about your sexual and romantic attractions, relationship wants and needs.
