Glenn Sample
Psychologist, Psy.D., MSCP
Your identity and experiences deserve to be understood and respected within the therapeutic relationship. I provide an affirming, non-judgmental space for LGBTQ+ individuals to explore the unique experiences, relationships, and challenges that may affect their emotional well-being.
Therapy can offer an opportunity to explore identity, self-acceptance, relationships, family dynamics, stress, anxiety, and other concerns in an environment where you can feel safe being yourself. My approach is collaborative and individualized, recognizing that every person’s experiences with identity and belonging are different.
Together, we can focus on your goals, build skills for navigating challenges, and strengthen your ability to live in a way that feels authentic and meaningful to you.

LGBTQ+
Bold Expressions Therapy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
As a member of the LGBT community, and as someone who holds degrees both in psychology and LGBT Health and Policy, I couple an academic understanding of the unique disparities that come with these identities with a profound personal knowledge of them in my own life. Not all patients have had positive experiences with the medical community, so it is my hope that my education and bisexual identity will serve my patients in a way that makes them feel both heard and seen. I also recognize that our identities can be static, or they can be fluid, and that the coming out process isn’t something we do just once: we do it over and over again. I do not personally identify as cisgender, and so I approach the issues facing the transgender, nonbinary, genderqueer, and gender non-conforming communities with deep empathy and personal understanding. From fluidity to transitioning, hormone replacement therapy, to writing letters for surgery, I am committed to supporting my clients on their journeys. Not everyone experiences their own gender in the same way, so the discussion of gender as a construct and societal gender norms is at the forefront of our discussions in working through the big mess that is gender.
