CPT
Dr. Weston Donaldson
Psychologist, PhD, ABPP
As an LGBTQ+ person, you've probably gotten pretty good at figuring things out for yourself. But then life throws you a curveball you can't simply think your way through, problem-solve your way out of, or grit your teeth and muscle through forever.
Maybe you're grieving someone you lost - or something that others don't even recognize as a loss. Maybe your relationship has changed, your health isn't what it used to be, or you're caring for someone you love and wondering how much longer you can keep going. You may be functioning just fine on the outside, while feeling pretty damn exhausted on the inside.
I'm Dr. Weston Donaldson, a gay psychologist and founder of Proud Heart Therapy Services, LLC. I help LGBTQ+ adults coping with grief, loss, trauma, and complicated transitions that come with getting older. Being part of the queer community means I bring a familiarity with our relationships, chosen families, histories, and experiences that can make these challenges more complex. You shouldn't have to spend your therapy sessions explaining why your relationships matter or why a particular loss has hit you so hard.
For me, the magic sauce of therapy is relationship. You can bring the messy feelings, the contradictions, the things you're not sure you're supposed to say out loud. My job isn't to tell you how you should feel or hand you a generic set of coping skills. It's to help you understand what's happening, reconnect with your own wisdom, and figure out what you want your life to look from here on out.
You don't have to stop grieving, have everything figured out, or know exactly what you need before reaching out. If you're tired of going through this time alone, let's talk. I'd be glad to hear what's going on and see whether we're a good fit.

CPT
Dr. Megie Shean
Psychologist, PsyD
Clients often share that they feel at ease working with me because I bring warmth, authenticity, and genuine care into each session. I value real connection and strive to create a space where clients can show up exactly as they are—without pretense or pressure. While I maintain a professional approach, I also believe that being human together matters; I’m genuine in my communication, often imperfect, and always deeply invested in helping clients feel understood and supported as they move toward healing and growth.

CPT
Dr. Alisha Desai
Psychologist, PhD
I am a firm believer that we are all capable of change. At the same time, I understand how difficult and scary change can be - even if it's what we want most. My goal is to help others build the confidence to see themselves fully and move through life based on their own inner compass.
My approach is collaborative, practical, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I aim to create a space where you can be honest about what you’re experiencing, without judgment, while developing concrete tools to navigate challenges, build resilience, and live a life that feels more meaningful and aligned with your values.
