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.

Psychologist, Ph.D., L.P.
Everyone has the right to be able to be who they are, to love whom they love, and to be understood. Most of the work I do in the LGBTQ space is in couples therapy. I am able to approach the unique nuances and challenges that LGBTQ couples may face, allowing me to deliver the best therapy results for each & every client. I have many family members who identify within the LGBTQ community.

Kate Winderman
Psychologist, Ph.D., LP
Working with members of the queer community has always been at the heart of what I do as a therapist. I have over a decade of experience of working with members of the queer community in therapy, and have helped folks through all sorts of issues that impact our community in unique ways (e.g., coming out, coming in to oneself, family issues, religious trauma, minority stress and discrimination, internalized homophobia, intersection of other marginalized identities, and more). My goal is to provide a safe and affirming space for sexual and gender minorities to feel free to be their most authentic selves in the therapy room.

Margaret Light
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, CST
As an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist, I have advanced training and experience in addressing transitions related to sexuality and gender, have expertise in working with clients who are ethically nonmonogamous, and am kink and LGBTQ+ affirming. This means that not only will I celebrate your journey, I can also offer resources, referrals, and interventions designed specifically for your unique position in life. Whether you're navigating changes within your relationship, are ready to explore your identity more fully, or just want to know that your therapist is fully prepared to meet you where you're at, I'd be honored to work with you.
