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.

David A. Heilman
Psychologist, Psy.D.
While receiving my doctorate in clinical psychology, I also received a graduate certificate in LGBT Health Policy and Practice. I used this experience to gain more insight into treating internalized heteronormativity and shame within the LGBTQIA+ communities.

Dr. Walter J. Matweychuk
Psychologist, Ph.D.
When bias and discrimination are part of a person's problems, I show them how not to anger themselves and then how to address the prejudice and discrimination constructively. In cases where people are shameful about their sexuality, I teach them how to unconditionally accept themselves and never to shame themselves for who they are and what they like both sexually and non-sexually.

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.
