Jamie Pettus
Psychologist, PsyD
I have worked with LGBTQIA+ clients for around 20 years, and am a member of this community, as I identify as both a lesbian and as gender nonconforming. I have worked with many clients who identified as transgender or gender variant.

Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Do you find yourself hiding or pretending in order to avoid conflict or discomfort from others? Do expectations from others not align with what’s true to you? Does your gender identity fall between the binary, or are you in the process of transitioning?
You deserve a life where you are authentically YOU!
Living out and proud isn’t easy...
It can be difficult to connect with others, especially when you don’t feel connected with yourself. You’re infested with thoughts and worries that make you hesitate from doing things that are good for you. You’re scared of how others will treat you, and you aren’t sure how to handle these difficult conversations and situations. You feel pressure to have everything figured out before you are allowed to say who you are. You may find yourself avoiding situations, or holding yourself back from other people. Sometimes you feel selfish for wanting to prioritize yourself over the convenience of others. You feel disconnected from society, your sense of self, and even your own body. You’re scared to embrace change and the consequences that come with it.
I Will Help You:
Process microaggressions and trauma.
Learn practical skills to overcome the fear and anxiety that make you hesitate from stepping into your identity.
Navigate potential blowout during and after coming out.
Clearly set and maintain boundaries in a way that is kind to yourself and others.
Confidently ask for what you want, and declare what you need — without feeling guilty.
Develop a strong, positive sense of self that is balanced and well-rounded.
Connect with your intuition, and learn to listen to it.
Cultivating a positive sense of self may not be easy, but it can be simple!

Philip Cooke
Psychologist, PhD
Providing LGBT-affirming psychotherapy and assessment services has been a core part of my training, research, and clinical practice for the past 8 years. My doctoral research and post-doctoral fellowship focused on the psychological well-being of queer men and LGBTQ-affirmative health care. I continue to teach in graduate programs and provide consultation on working with LGBTQ-identified individuals and couples. I have substantial expertise in the psychological effects of discrimination, the intersection of race and gender/sexuality, identity exploration, ethical nonmonogamy, psychosocial and medical gender transition, queer men’s issues, and queer relationship concerns.
As a clinician, my practice has consistently focused on the needs of queer people, particularly those who may be on the margins of the LGBTQ community, including trans and nonbinary folx, non-monosexual people (e.g., bisexual, pansexual), queer people of color, and polyamorous and non-monogamous individuals and relationships. I work to understand the effects of other identities (race, class, ability, age, etc.) on my patient’s concerns and tailor treatment accordingly.
