LGBTQ+
Vincent Espinoza
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I pride myself on holding space for all members of the LGBTQ+ community. Some of the issues I have focused on with clients in the past have included chemsex, gender dysphoria, gender identity, sexual identity, romantic orientation, family-of-origin homophobia and transphobia, and sexual health and wellness.

Kelly McAleer
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I have 10+ years of experience providing LGBTQ+ affirming therapy, with particular experience working with transgender, nonbinary, gender-fluid, and gender-questioning adults. I support clients at all stages of gender exploration and transition, including those considering or navigating social and medical transition. Therapy offers a welcoming space to explore identity, relationships, and life experiences without assumptions about who you are or what your path should look like.

LGBTQ+
Bold Expressions Therapy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
As a member of the LGBT community, and as someone who holds degrees both in psychology and LGBT Health and Policy, I couple an academic understanding of the unique disparities that come with these identities with a profound personal knowledge of them in my own life. Not all patients have had positive experiences with the medical community, so it is my hope that my education and bisexual identity will serve my patients in a way that makes them feel both heard and seen. I also recognize that our identities can be static, or they can be fluid, and that the coming out process isn’t something we do just once: we do it over and over again. I do not personally identify as cisgender, and so I approach the issues facing the transgender, nonbinary, genderqueer, and gender non-conforming communities with deep empathy and personal understanding. From fluidity to transitioning, hormone replacement therapy, to writing letters for surgery, I am committed to supporting my clients on their journeys. Not everyone experiences their own gender in the same way, so the discussion of gender as a construct and societal gender norms is at the forefront of our discussions in working through the big mess that is gender.

Maria Elizabeth LeBlanc
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, M.Ed MSW LICSW
Today, more than ever, those identifying as LGBTQIA+ need support and understanding from a skilled clinician familiar with the joy and challenges of living true to one's identity. I have worked extensively with those both questioning their orientation/identity and those that are fully out (or out to varying degrees) in navigating family, work, and societal challenges.

As a member of this community myself, it has always been a passion of mine to create a safe space for folks to explore their identities, unpack and challenge external and societal messages, and find your true sense of self.
