Natalie A Shafer
Counselor/Therapist, MA, NCC, LPC
LGBTQ+ experiences are shaped by both personal identity and broader social contexts, which can impact safety, self-expression, and a sense of belonging. I approach this work with affirmation and respect, recognizing the importance of being seen and understood without judgment. Alongside our work together, I hold an advocacy-oriented perspective, supporting you in navigating challenges while honoring your identity and lived experience.

Nick Sotor
Psychologist, PsyD
I operate from lens of decolinization and anti-racism that informs the way I view, relate, and treat all people, including those within the LQBTQ community. I provide a non-judgemental space to talk about all aspects of sexual and gender identity and tend to conceptualize stress and suffering around sexual identity as a product of living within a homophobic/transphobic society rather than a function of internal pathology.

Emem Itiat
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
I work from a liberation Psychology standpoint and humanist framework observing individuals through the lens of their unique and shared intersections. When it comes to fighting against hate, discrimination, and violence against queer bodies I believe in working to enhance radical acceptance through promoting self-contentment, awareness building by identifying the underlying and overlying systems of oppression and how they manifest internally, and working towards dismantling those systems both externally and internally.
