Ann Abbey
Limited License Psychologist, MA, LLP, RYT
.I provide affirming therapy for LGBTQIA+ clients navigating identity, coming out, relationships, discrimination, family dynamics or transitions. As a queer-affirming therapist, I offer a safer, inclusive space where all parts of you are welcome. My approach centers empowerment, authenticity and emotional safety while addressing anxiety, trauma, self-acceptance and the impact of living in a world that isn’t always supportive.

Carter Doyle
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP-BC, EMT-P
This practice is explicitly LGBTQ+ affirming. I work with queer, trans, and questioning clients around identity development, coming out, family/religious rejection, SOGICE/conversion therapy aftereffects, and the day-to-day toll of minority stress. We’ll honor your gender/sexuality as healthy expressions of who you are and help you heal from any messages that said otherwise. You get to bring all of you into the room.

Kourtney Bennett
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I strive to provide an affirming, respectful environment where LGBTQ+ clients can explore identity, relationships, stress, life transitions, and the impact of discrimination or minority stress. Therapy is tailored to your individual experiences and goals—not assumptions about who you are.

Paula Kirsch
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CST
Affirming care means more than hanging a flag. It means you will not spend your session explaining yourself, educating your therapist, or wondering whether it is safe to say the real thing. I work with LGBTQ+ individuals and couples navigating identity, relationships, sexuality, and everything that comes with living authentically in a world that does not always make that easy. You can just be yourself here. That is the whole point.

Lisa J. Taylor
Psychologist, Ph.D.
If you are struggling to find joy or peace in any of your important relationships, please know that help and support are available! As a relationship therapist, I am committed to creating an affirming space for LGBTQ+ individuals, couples, and families, as well as for those in non-traditional relationships. I also welcome the opportunity to work with clients who are experiencing conflict about adapting to a child or other family member's change in expressed identity, such as when a family member shares that they are gay or trans. Differences in worldview can make it difficult to adjust to learning this new information, but I am here to help you understand and find new ways to connect to your loved one.
