Psychologist, PhD, LP
I work primarily with young adults and adults in identity exploration, addressing discrimination, and for those who identify as religious also, navigating the integration of these two important pieces of self.

Tara Leigh Thomsen
Licensed Professional Counselor, LIMHP, CPC
LGBT issues may begin with how you choose to come out to others, however it does not end there. We now know that many people have experienced trauma, bullying or abuse from others along the path. I consider myself to be an ally to the community and I am willing to address the issues you are experiencing.

Louis Hoffman
Psychologist, PhD
LGBTQ+ individuals may face unique challenges related to identity, relationships, belonging, discrimination, and acceptance, while also navigating the universal struggles of being human. My approach is affirming, inclusive, and grounded in existential-humanistic and relational psychotherapy. I recognize the importance of understanding each person's experiences within their social, cultural, and relational contexts, including the impact of prejudice, marginalization, and societal expectations. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore questions of identity, authenticity, relationships, and meaning without pressure to conform to others' expectations. Together, we work toward greater self-understanding, self-acceptance, meaningful connections, and the freedom to live more fully and authentically.

Emily Hurlin
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LISW, LCSW
I was raised in an LGBTQ+ household, and I bring that lived understanding into my work. LGBTQ+ individuals and couples are welcome here without needing to explain or defend who they are. I support clients navigating coming out, family acceptance, minority stress, and the particular dynamics of queer and non-traditional relationships, while also working on the same connection and conflict concerns every couple faces.
