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.

LGBTQ+ Issues
Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist committed to supporting the mental health and well-being of the LGBT+ community, my approach to treatment is rooted in cultural humility, affirming the diverse identities and experiences of each individual. Through a safe and inclusive therapeutic space, I provide affirmative therapy that validates clients' identities, experiences, and challenges they may face due to societal stigma and discrimination. Utilizing culturally competent and evidence-based approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), narrative therapy, and interpersonal therapy, I work collaboratively with clients to address concerns related to coming out, family acceptance, relationship issues, and identity exploration. Additionally, I advocate for social support networks and community resources to facilitate connection and resilience. My goal is to empower LGBT+ individuals to navigate life authentically, foster self-acceptance, and thrive in their identities.
