LGBTQ+
Dr. Yuye Zhang
Psychologist, PhD, MSW
I offer an affirming space for LGBTQ+ adults to explore identity, relationships, belonging, and the pressures that can come with navigating environments that may not fully understand or affirm who you are. Therapy can also provide room to explore the intersection of sexuality or gender with family, culture, race, and other parts of your identity, without asking you to separate one part of yourself from another.

Caitlin Fountain
Psychologist, PsyD
Being LGBTQIA+ identified can shape how you experience relationships, navigate the world, and come to understand yourself, sometimes in ways that are difficult to untangle. I offer affirming, nonjudgmental therapy where you can explore your identity, make sense of how past experiences and interactions with others have shaped your self-perception, and question beliefs you may have internalized along the way. Together, we’ll build insight into the patterns that influence your life, strengthen your connection to yourself, and make room for a way of living that feels authentic to you.

Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
LGBTQ+ issues are ones which are close to my heart as I am a gay-identified man. LGBTQ+ individuals share many unique experiences due to their sexual orientation and gender identity. The symptoms that result from those experience are often more accurately understood by a psychologist who has shared in those experiences. This understanding facilitates greater affirmation and validation of your needs, along with designing a more effective approach to achieve your desired symptom relief. Helping people in our LGBTQ+ community is one of the primary reasons I decided to become a psychologist.

Dr. Walter J. Matweychuk
Psychologist, Ph.D.
When bias and discrimination are part of a person's problems, I show them how not to anger themselves and then how to address the prejudice and discrimination constructively. In cases where people are shameful about their sexuality, I teach them how to unconditionally accept themselves and never to shame themselves for who they are and what they like both sexually and non-sexually.

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.
