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!

Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
For many queer and trans people, the project of selfhood involves a double labor: becoming who you are while contending with a world that has opinions about whether that person should exist. The effects are not always dramatic. Sometimes they are quiet — a lifelong habit of self-editing, a flinch so practiced it no longer registers as a flinch. Therapy is a place where the full weight of that experience can be acknowledged, and where the self that survived it can begin to discover what it wants when it is no longer organizing itself around someone else's discomfort.

Sarah Green
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
As a queer provider, I offer a space where you don't have to explain or defend who you are. I'm affirming of all sexual orientations, gender identities, and relationship structures, including polyamory and ENM. Together we can explore identity, relationships, family dynamics, and the impact of living in a world that often isn't built for us, while deconstructing the harmful social norms and internalized messages that get in the way of living as yourself.

Sarah Gersick
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Feeling safe and understood are fundamental to having a positive experience with therapy. I offer identity-affirming care that allows for free and deep exploration of current issues and ongoing patterns, without worrying about hidden judgments or over-pathologizing. Trans, poly, and ace inclusive and affirming.
