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.

Jennifer Francke Psychotherapy, LLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LIMHP, LPC, LADC, LMHC
I am committed to creating a supportive and affirming space for individuals in the LGBTQ+ community. I approach each session with empathy, respect, and a deep, personal understanding of the unique struggles and strengths within the LGBTQ+ community. Together, we can work on building self-acceptance, addressing internalized stigma, managing anxiety or depression, and fostering healthy, fulfilling relationships.

Kate E. Stephenson
Life Coach, ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), Holistic Life, Career & Executive
My personal belief and my coaching ethos is that you are a whole, creative, resourceful person as you are, right now. That is a belief that is being challenged ad nauseam in the current climate. Assuming nothing, as a Holistic Life Coach, I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space to speak your truth, be who you are, and figure out what you want from life without anyone else's input, influence, or expectations. While this is true for everyone, it can be an even more powerful experience for those of us who feel silenced and rendered invisible in any aspect of our lives. I am NOT offering therapy, but coaching can absolutely complement and supplement your therapy work. Instead, I offer a toolbox of methods, approaches, and experiments that most therapists do not. Tools designed to help you embrace your success without apology; create ease in a world of hardship; center yourself and ground in your own wisdom; and come into agreement with yourself regardless of the dissonance of others.

Dr. Amy Hecht
Psychologist, PhD
I work with individuals and couples across the LGBTQ+ spectrum, supporting a wide range of experiences related to identity, relationships, and family building. This can include exploring questions of identity and self-understanding, navigating coming out, managing family dynamics, and building affirming, meaningful relationships.
I have particular experience working with LGBTQ+ individuals and couples pursuing non-traditional paths to parenthood, including adoption, surrogacy, and donor conception. I understand both the unique stressors and the profound strengths that can come with these journeys.
My approach is affirming, nuanced, and grounded in deep respect for each person’s lived experience. I aim to create a space where clients feel fully seen and understood, while also helping them navigate challenges with clarity, confidence, and a strong sense 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.
