LGBTQ+ Issues
Dr. Lindsay Perrin
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I am an affirming therapist who is passionate about working with the LGBT population. Sometimes one's identity is central to the reasons they are seeking therapy and sometimes one identity is simply one contextual element. Either way, I strive to create a safe and comfortable setting where clients can talk openly about their concerns in a supportive environment.

Orka Health and Wellness, PLLC
Counselor/Therapist, MSW, LICSW, LMFT, LPCC
Inclusivity is at the heart of our practice. We believe that a truly safe therapeutic space is one where your identity is not just "accepted," but celebrated and understood through a culturally humble, affirming lens.
LGBTQ+ Affirming & Inclusive Care
Our Master’s level, clinically licensed therapists are committed to providing a sanctuary for the LGBTQ+ community across Minnesota. We understand that your identity, gender expression, and orientation are fundamental parts of your story, and we provide specialized support to help you thrive as your authentic self.
Our Commitment to Inclusive Therapy
We move beyond "tolerance" to provide active, informed support for the unique challenges faced by the LGBTQ+ community:
Identity Exploration: A safe, non-judgmental space to explore gender identity, sexual orientation, and self-expression.
Minority Stress & Trauma: Using EMDR and Brainspotting to process the specific impacts of systemic discrimination, rejection, or "coming out" trauma.
Family Dynamics: Utilizing Family Systems expertise to navigate high-conflict situations or work toward reconciliation and boundary-setting.
Gender-Affirming Support: Providing a supportive clinical environment for those navigating social or medical transitions.
Youth Support (Ages 10+): Helping young people navigate their identity with specialized interactive software that allows for creative and safe self-exploration.
The Path to Authentic Living
Your journey is collaborative and centered on your personal goals.
Full Assessment: We meet to understand your current needs and how your identity intersects with your mental health.
Shared Goals: Whether it’s building self-esteem, managing social anxiety, or navigating relationship issues, we set goals together.
Collaborative Plan: We discuss a treatment roadmap—utilizing tools like DBT, CBT, or IFS—that respects and honors your lived experience.

Embodied Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LPCC, CIEC, CCTP
I am an LGBTQ+IA ally and deeply passionate about providing care for all folks in all bodies, in all identities. I believe in fundamental human rights. If one of us is oppressed, we are all oppressed. I am a great fit for LGBTQ+IA folks who want to navigate grief, loss, body dysmorphia, eating disororders, neurodiversity, and trauma.
