Shannon Gorres
Life Coach, MDiv, MA
I help people who identify all over the gender, sexuality, and relationship spectrum. Sometimes their relationships or identity challenges are the focus of their sessions because they need support for unique situations, and sometimes it's just one aspect of a different question, such as, "Do I really want to move to that conservative city for my dream job?"
For me, LGBTQ+ includes 2S, A, poly and more. I also have a graduate certificate in Sexuality and Religion, so I understand how some religious institutions have harmed queer people. And I see and know how queer people have sacred experiences within and outside of mainstream religion, with a wide variety of spiritualities.
I'm queer (gender fluid and pansexual). I've known this since I was 13 years old, before there was so much information via the internet. I've been though many transitions of how I express myself and relate with others. You are welcome to express your truest yourself, your realest questions, and your deepest needs.

Jacqueline Elster
Psychologist, PsyD, HSPP, LP
My near 20 years of experience has helped me develop an approach to therapy that involves providing a supportive and affirming environment where you can explore their identity and experiences while feeling accepted and affirmed. It is important to acknowledging and validating the unique challenges faced by LGBT+ individuals, such as discrimination, internalized homophobia, and coming out. Therapy can help address issues you may have related to self-acceptance, relationship dynamics, and coping with societal pressures. By fostering a safe space, my hope is to empower you to develop resilience, enhance self-esteem, and build healthier, more fulfilling lives.

MN Couples & Family Therapy
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.

As a member of this community myself, it has always been a passion of mine to create a safe space for folks to explore their identities, unpack and challenge external and societal messages, and find your true sense of self.

Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
For many queer and trans people, the project of selfhood involves a double labor: becoming who you are while contending with a world that has opinions about whether that person should exist. The effects are not always dramatic. Sometimes they are quiet — a lifelong habit of self-editing, a flinch so practiced it no longer registers as a flinch. Therapy is a place where the full weight of that experience can be acknowledged, and where the self that survived it can begin to discover what it wants when it is no longer organizing itself around someone else's discomfort.
