Dr. Heidi Anderson Sauder

People deserve to be seen and be safe! Advanced training and certification provides not only knowledge but an affirming and supportive space for LGBTQ+ couples to address their goals for change. Therapy recognizes the unique experiences and stressors that LGBTQ+ individuals and couples encounter, including identity exploration, family dynamics, discrimination, life transitions, and societal pressures.

Catherine Bitney
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
As a queer, nonbinary individual, I have a soft spot for the LGBTQ++ community and about half my clients identify as sexual or gender diverse. As a university professor, I enjoy working within a professional setting to show students that you can be accepted, celebrated, successful, etc. as a queer and gender nonconforming professional.

Dan Walinsky
Psychologist, PhD
Much of my career has focused on supporting LGBTQIA people in any number of ways. Whether you're at a point where you're considering coming out, if you're exploring your sexual or gender identity, or need space to process the important relationships in your life, this can be a great space to do some work. Many LGBTQIA people have had to make compromises in their lives to fit into social norms that don't mirror queer realities, and doing so can leave a real impact. I love to help LGBTQIA people work toward becoming more fully themselves.
