Maria T. Alonso, Ph.D.
Psychologist
In my work with LGBTQ+ individuals in psychotherapy, I strive to create a warm and supportive environment where clients can explore and embrace their authentic selves. I understand the unique challenges they may face, such as issues related to gender identity, sexual orientation, navigating relationships, and experiences of discrimination. By using a compassionate and non-judgmental approach, I help clients address these concerns while affirming their identity and experiences. I custom tailor therapy to meet each person where they are at, recognizing and valuing their individual history and circumstances. Whether it's processing feelings of uncertainty, building self-esteem, or developing strategies to handle discrimination, my goal is to support clients in living fully and confidently as their true selves, empowering them to build meaningful and fulfilling lives.

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.

Dr. Amy Hecht
Psychologist, PhD
I work with individuals and couples across the LGBTQ+ spectrum, supporting a wide range of experiences related to identity, relationships, and family building. This can include exploring questions of identity and self-understanding, navigating coming out, managing family dynamics, and building affirming, meaningful relationships.
I have particular experience working with LGBTQ+ individuals and couples pursuing non-traditional paths to parenthood, including adoption, surrogacy, and donor conception. I understand both the unique stressors and the profound strengths that can come with these journeys.
My approach is affirming, nuanced, and grounded in deep respect for each person’s lived experience. I aim to create a space where clients feel fully seen and understood, while also helping them navigate challenges with clarity, confidence, and a strong sense of self.
