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.

Rachel W. Friendly, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
It can be so hard to find affirming, safe spaces where we can explore our whole, authentic selves - where we can truly be all of us, in our largeness, our messiness, and our queerness. And especially these days, gender expansiveness can feel particularly scary. Gender trauma is real - but living inauthentically is excruciating. I work with queer and gender expansive adults who want to live their truth and explore their identities, but who might not be sure where to start. We can dig in to what may be holding you back, so that you can start to craft your truest, most beautiful life. We can investigate the internalized messages that may lead to shame or self-doubt. And we can work on replacing those messages with self-compassion, curiosity, and self-love. Together, we can help you to become your truest, most beautiful self.
