Dr. Ann Becker-Schutte; Healthy Balanced Life Psychology, LLC
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I began working to understand LGBTQIA+ experiences as a volunteer at a crisis hotline during college. As a graduate student, I was part of a team who developed a scale to measure ally development. Throughout my private practice, I have worked to make sure that my office is a supportive space for individuals of all orientations.

Merritt Leonhardt
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LSCSW, CDWF, MCLC
People are people, couples are couples and therapeutic work is open to everyone but/and if you identify within the LGBTQI community, there are circumstances and struggles that you must uniquely face. Navigating a healthy and full life is challenging for all of us, and everyone experiences times of struggle and challenge and the added stress and isolation of being a member of the LGBTQI within a heteronormative and often unsafe world, can make the harder things harder. It's crucial to know and have a therapist that is not only open and affirming but can also speak to the experience of being LGBTQI in a world that does not consistently have your interests or experiences in mind and often works intentionally to silence, shame and subdue you and your rights.

Middle Path Wellness Collective
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LMSW, LPC, PLPC
We are committed allies to the LGBTQIA+ community and provide affirming, respectful therapy for individuals navigating identity, relationships, coming out, family dynamics, and the emotional impact of living in a world that is not always safe or understanding. We recognize the courage it takes to exist authentically, especially in environments where acceptance has not been guaranteed. Our role as therapists is to create a space where clients feel genuinely seen, respected, and supported without assumption, judgment, or the need to educate their therapist. We work alongside clients to process difficult experiences, strengthen self-trust, and build relationships and lives that reflect who they truly are. Our approach is grounded in humility, affirmation, and a deep commitment to honoring each person’s identity and lived experience.
