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.

Shannon Gorres
Life Coach, MDiv, MA
I help people who identify all over the gender, sexuality, and relationship spectrum. Sometimes their relationships or identity challenges are the focus of their sessions because they need support for unique situations, and sometimes it's just one aspect of a different question, such as, "Do I really want to move to that conservative city for my dream job?"
For me, LGBTQ+ includes 2S, A, poly and more. I also have a graduate certificate in Sexuality and Religion, so I understand how some religious institutions have harmed queer people. And I see and know how queer people have sacred experiences within and outside of mainstream religion, with a wide variety of spiritualities.
I'm queer (gender fluid and pansexual). I've known this since I was 13 years old, before there was so much information via the internet. I've been though many transitions of how I express myself and relate with others. You are welcome to express your truest yourself, your realest questions, and your deepest needs.

Peter Gould
Psychologist, Ph.D.
As a licensed clinical psychologist, I offer compassionate and effective treatment for members of the LGBTQ+ community. My approach, guided by evidence-based therapies, is tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual. Coming out is a deeply personal and transformative experience that can significantly impact mental health, often leading to emotions such as anxiety and depression. Addressing these mental health considerations is crucial for ensuring a supportive and healthy journey.
Individuals may struggle with feelings of isolation, difficulty revealing their true selves to family members, and defending their identity. My expertise extends beyond the coming-out process to include support for those who feel unsupported in their personal lives. I focus on helping clients feel more comfortable living authentically, navigate experiences of rejection, and gain a deeper understanding of their sexuality.

Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
For many queer and trans people, the project of selfhood involves a double labor: becoming who you are while contending with a world that has opinions about whether that person should exist. The effects are not always dramatic. Sometimes they are quiet — a lifelong habit of self-editing, a flinch so practiced it no longer registers as a flinch. Therapy is a place where the full weight of that experience can be acknowledged, and where the self that survived it can begin to discover what it wants when it is no longer organizing itself around someone else's discomfort.

Navigating identity, relationships, family dynamics, and societal expectations can bring unique challenges for LGBTQ+ individuals.
