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.

Glenn Sample
Psychologist, Psy.D., MSCP
Your identity and experiences deserve to be understood and respected within the therapeutic relationship. I provide an affirming, non-judgmental space for LGBTQ+ individuals to explore the unique experiences, relationships, and challenges that may affect their emotional well-being.
Therapy can offer an opportunity to explore identity, self-acceptance, relationships, family dynamics, stress, anxiety, and other concerns in an environment where you can feel safe being yourself. My approach is collaborative and individualized, recognizing that every person’s experiences with identity and belonging are different.
Together, we can focus on your goals, build skills for navigating challenges, and strengthen your ability to live in a way that feels authentic and meaningful to you.

Erica Hart
Psychologist, PhD in Clinical Psychology
As a bisexual woman, I seek to affirm and support my LGBT clients. I understand how complex our relationship can be to our sexuality, and work to help clients through various issues such as internalized homophobia, biphobia, and transphobia, values conflicts (e.g. with family, culture or religion), and supporting through the coming out process. I work with many Ace/Aro individuals as well as trans and non-binary folks.

Skye D Ross, EMDR Therapist for High Achieving Women
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PMH-C, MPH, EMDR-Certified Therapist & Consultant In Training
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.
