LGBTQ+ Issues
Shannon Stern, LPC-S, LMHC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S, LMHC
I love working with women who identify as queer/lesbian/bi or are questioning their sexuality later in life. Perhaps this means you have been in a heteronormative relationship throughout your life, but are coming to terms with your authentic identity. This process can be distressing, especially as you navigate dating and talking-to friends/family about your orientation. Therapy can be helpful in providing a space to process emotions and receive support during this journey.

LGBTQ+ Issues
Abelee Groff
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
I provide affirming, trauma-informed therapy for adults navigating LGBTQ+ identity, coming out, minority stress, relationship dynamics, and societal pressures. I focus on creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their identity, experiences, and relationships without needing to educate their therapist.
I offer queer therapy and trans-affirming care, integrating attachment-based, somatic, and parts-informed approaches to help clients process emotions, regulate stress, and strengthen self-understanding. Therapy emphasizes self-compassion, resilience, and empowerment, supporting clients in building authentic connections with themselves and others while navigating the unique challenges of LGBTQ+ life.
