Authentically You Counseling
Treatment Center, LCMHC
Scheduling at AYC is easy - schedule an intake as soon as next week. Finding the courage to be true to yourself despite the challenges you have to overcome is the ultimate goal of therapy. I believe one of the greatest grievances is living an inauthentic life with who you are. Regardless of what you’ve been through, if something is stopping you from living your truth - if fear prevents you from engaging in life the way you want or you are attempting to live up to some societal or personal expectation so far out of reach it hurts - If something is preventing you from living your fullest life, you can make a difference!
I want to help you reach your fullest potential according to your personal truth, values and beliefs. If we embark on this journey together, you will be the driver. I will simply help you see the different paths to reaching your end goal. In the end, you must be true to yourself in choosing the path you wish to take - or none at all.
Finding your truth sometimes means making a decision about whether or not to live your full truth. We can work together to help you explore your options to make the right choice for You. Making the call (or email) to start your journey is the first step - Let us start your journey together!

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.

Lisa J. Taylor
Psychologist, Ph.D.
If you are struggling to find joy or peace in any of your important relationships, please know that help and support are available! As a relationship therapist, I am committed to creating an affirming space for LGBTQ+ individuals, couples, and families, as well as for those in non-traditional relationships. I also welcome the opportunity to work with clients who are experiencing conflict about adapting to a child or other family member's change in expressed identity, such as when a family member shares that they are gay or trans. Differences in worldview can make it difficult to adjust to learning this new information, but I am here to help you understand and find new ways to connect to your loved one.

Dr. Anna Smith
Psychologist, PsyD, MEd, MA
Navigating coming out, identity exploration, minority stress, family rejection, or the unique challenges that can arise in queer, trans, or non-heteronormative relationships takes courage and support. I provide an affirming, kink- and trans-friendly space to process these experiences, reduce the weight of shame or external pressure, and build authentic connections—with yourself and with partners. Whether you’re working on individual identity, relationship dynamics, or creating the kind of intimacy that truly fits who you are, therapy here honors all parts of you.
