Melanie Collins
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC, LCMHC, Coach
I provide affirming therapy for lesbian, gay, and bisexual adults and couples, with particular experience addressing sexuality, relationships, intimacy, identity, coming out, family dynamics, and self-acceptance. My approach is sex-positive and nonjudgmental, and I welcome diverse relationship structures and expressions of sexuality. While I provide an affirming environment for people of all gender identities, gender transition and transgender-specific concerns are not currently areas of specialization in my practice.

Merritt Leonhardt
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LSCSW, CDWF, MCLC
People are people, couples are couples and therapeutic work is open to everyone but/and if you identify within the LGBTQI community, there are circumstances and struggles that you must uniquely face. Navigating a healthy and full life is challenging for all of us, and everyone experiences times of struggle and challenge and the added stress and isolation of being a member of the LGBTQI within a heteronormative and often unsafe world, can make the harder things harder. It's crucial to know and have a therapist that is not only open and affirming but can also speak to the experience of being LGBTQI in a world that does not consistently have your interests or experiences in mind and often works intentionally to silence, shame and subdue you and your rights.

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.
