Rebecca Connor, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
I am straight, with experience and understanding working with the LGBTQ plus community. My first position as a therapist at a clinic when I moved to Minneapolis from San Francisco in the early 2000s was at a clinic that specialized in LGBTQ issues. I was the only straight therapist in this clinic.

Ben Mushel
Pre-Licensed Professional, LGSW
As a gay man, I have personally experienced many of the hardships that often come from being a part of the LGBTQIA+ community. I utilize CBT as well as EMDR to help clients navigate these difficulties while holding a wam, non-judgemental, and compassionate space.

Katherine Jones
Counselor/Therapist, ND, MA, LPC
I provide affirming and inclusive support for individuals within the LGBTQ+ community. I am committed to creating a safe and welcoming space where clients can explore their identities, navigate challenges, and celebrate their authentic selves. I understand the unique experiences and concerns faced by LGBTQ+ individuals, whether it's related to coming out, discrimination, family dynamics, relationship issues, or mental health struggles. Through culturally competent and affirming therapy approaches, I empower clients to embrace their identities, cultivate self-acceptance, and live fulfilling lives aligned with their true selves.

I have worked with LGBTQIA+ clients for around 20 years, and am a member of this community, as I identify as both a lesbian and as gender nonconforming. I have worked with many clients who identified as transgender or gender variant.
