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.

Dr. Megan Marks
Psychologist, PhD
Finding a therapist who truly gets it can be hard—especially if you’ve spent too much time explaining or editing parts of yourself to feel safe. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I know how much it matters to have a space where you don’t have to explain your existence—just your goals.
I work with LGBTQ+ adults navigating identity exploration, relationships, chosen family, workplace dynamics, religious trauma, and the deep emotional toll of living in a world that too often questions your worth. Right now, the political climate is not just unsettling—it’s harmful, especially for trans and gender-diverse folks. You deserve a space where your identity is not only affirmed but protected. At The Momentum Practice, therapy is a place to exhale, reconnect, and move forward with more clarity and strength. I offer support for the full spectrum of your experience—from anxiety and perfectionism to workplace stress and burnout. When requested, I also provide letters for gender-affirming medical care, always with warmth, respect, and zero gatekeeping. With over 15 years of experience, I help clients move from self-doubt to self-trust, and from feeling stuck to feeling more aligned, empowered, and whole. You deserve a therapist who sees you, celebrates you, and journeys beside you. You matter—and I’m so glad you’re here. Contact me for a free 15 minute consultation!

Sarah Gersick
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Feeling safe and understood are fundamental to having a positive experience with therapy. I offer identity-affirming care that allows for free and deep exploration of current issues and ongoing patterns, without worrying about hidden judgments or over-pathologizing. Trans, poly, and ace inclusive and affirming.
