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.

LGBTQ+ Issues
Maria T. Alonso, Ph.D.
Psychologist
In my work with LGBTQ+ individuals in psychotherapy, I strive to create a warm and supportive environment where clients can explore and embrace their authentic selves. I understand the unique challenges they may face, such as issues related to gender identity, sexual orientation, navigating relationships, and experiences of discrimination. By using a compassionate and non-judgmental approach, I help clients address these concerns while affirming their identity and experiences. I custom tailor therapy to meet each person where they are at, recognizing and valuing their individual history and circumstances. Whether it's processing feelings of uncertainty, building self-esteem, or developing strategies to handle discrimination, my goal is to support clients in living fully and confidently as their true selves, empowering them to build meaningful and fulfilling lives.
