I began working to understand LGBTQIA+ experiences as a volunteer at a crisis hotline during college. As a graduate student, I was part of a team who developed a scale to measure ally development. Throughout my private practice, I have worked to make sure that my office is a supportive space for individuals of all orientations.

Dr. Weston Donaldson
Psychologist, PhD, ABPP
Being LGBTQ+ can mean building a life, family, and community in ways that others may take for granted. IT can mean navigating rejection, estrangement, relationships that don't fit traditional expectations, or losses that others don't fully recognize. As a gay psychologist, I bring both professional experience and personal understanding of queer life to our work. You shouldn't have to explain why your chosen family matter or educate your therapist about the basics of your experience before getting to what you really need to talk about. You get to show up as yourself, talk about what's actually going on, and figure out what you want your life to look like from here.

Dr. L A McCrae
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCADC, FOT, CCTP, CCTSA
I provide a specialized sanctuary for LGBT Issues, specifically focusing on the intersectional liberation of Black, Queer, and Trans/Non-binary individuals. As a transmasculine clinician, I don't require you to explain your identity; instead, we dive straight into the work of unmasking and reclamation. We move beyond "affirming" to actively building a life that celebrates your queer and trans excellence.

Abelee Groff
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
I provide affirming, trauma-informed therapy for adults navigating LGBTQ+ identity, coming out, minority stress, relationship dynamics, and societal pressures. I focus on creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their identity, experiences, and relationships without needing to educate their therapist.
I offer queer therapy and trans-affirming care, integrating attachment-based, somatic, and parts-informed approaches to help clients process emotions, regulate stress, and strengthen self-understanding. Therapy emphasizes self-compassion, resilience, and empowerment, supporting clients in building authentic connections with themselves and others while navigating the unique challenges of LGBTQ+ life.
