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.

Skye D Ross, EMDR Therapist for High Achieving Women
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PMH-C, MPH, EMDR-Certified Therapist & Approved EMDR Consultant
As a bisexual therapist, I understand how bi-erasure can impact your own coming out story, your relationship with yourself, partners, and the queer community. Beyond my work with people who identify as bi, as a perinatal mental health therapist, I often work with other members of the family through their fertility and parenting journey for those who choose to proceed down that path. When your path to parenthood looks different from others, it can be devastating to see people start families with ease. I'm here to hold you in that unexpected grief, through the unknown of your journey, and to celebrate with you when things go well.

Steffanie Grossman, PhD, CEDS-C
Psychologist, PhD, CEDS-C
Individuals of the LGBTQ+ community have frequently faced oppression that causes pain, internalized homophobia, transphobia, biphobia, & isolation. It can be terrifying to enter into a space hoping to obtain support, but not knowing if you will experience further oppression and rejection. As marginalized sexual identities and gender identities can be hidden identities, that you choose to allow someone to know, it is an honor to be let into your authentic world and help you heal and explore. To note, I also provide assessments for gender dysphoria and related letters in support of gender-affirming medical and legal procedures.

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.
