Philip Cooke
Psychologist, PhD
Providing LGBT-affirming psychotherapy and assessment services has been a core part of my training, research, and clinical practice for the past 8 years. My doctoral research and post-doctoral fellowship focused on the psychological well-being of queer men and LGBTQ-affirmative health care. I continue to teach in graduate programs and provide consultation on working with LGBTQ-identified individuals and couples. I have substantial expertise in the psychological effects of discrimination, the intersection of race and gender/sexuality, identity exploration, ethical nonmonogamy, psychosocial and medical gender transition, queer men’s issues, and queer relationship concerns.
As a clinician, my practice has consistently focused on the needs of queer people, particularly those who may be on the margins of the LGBTQ community, including trans and nonbinary folx, non-monosexual people (e.g., bisexual, pansexual), queer people of color, and polyamorous and non-monogamous individuals and relationships. I work to understand the effects of other identities (race, class, ability, age, etc.) on my patient’s concerns and tailor treatment accordingly.

Dr. Mike Strand
Psychologist, PsyD
Members of the LGBTQ+ community often face unique challenges, from navigating personal identity and acceptance to confronting societal prejudice and discrimination. These experiences can lead to feelings of isolation, anxiety, and stress, impacting mental health and well-being. My LGBTQ+ affirming therapy creates a safe and supportive space to explore these issues, offering understanding, validation, and strategies for coping and thriving, embracing your true self with pride and confidence.
