LGBTQ+ Issues
Merritt Posten Benz
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.

Jayson L. Mystkowski
Psychologist, Ph.D., ABPP
Affirmative Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (ACBT) is an individualized, active and goal-oriented type of psychotherapy, with evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy interventions targeting SGM-specific stress and concerns. Topics addressed in Affirmative Cognitive Behavioral Therapy include the following:
Stress management (e.g., coping skills, substance abuse and recovery)
Gender identity (e.g., evaluations for medical transition and supporting documentation, non-binary)
Coming-out (e.g., concerns about one’s family, religion, culture, and workplace)
Sexual health (e.g., safer sex, STIs, sex positivity)

Brittany Shannon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
For many people, trauma is not always a single event. It often comes from repeated experiences of discrimination, invalidation, or feeling/being unsafe being fully yourself. These are real and cumulative stressors that impact how you see yourself and how you relate to others. In therapy, those experiences are not minimized or treated as secondary. They are central to the work. I use evidence-based treatments and adapt them to fit your specific lived experience, including approaches like Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET), which allows us to integrate both positive and painful experiences into a more complete and grounded sense of self. The goal is not just symptom relief, but helping you move through the world with more clarity, stability, and self-trust.
