LGBTQ+ Issues
Full Being Services
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LPC, LCSW, LAPC
We provide affirming, trauma-informed therapy for LGBTQ+ individuals navigating identity development, relationships, family dynamics, mental health concerns, and the impact of stigma or discrimination. We recognize that LGBTQ+ experiences are shaped not only by personal journeys, but also by social, cultural, and systemic factors that can affect safety, belonging, and well-being.
Our clinicians create a space where clients can show up fully and authentically—without needing to educate, defend, or minimize their experiences. We support adolescents and adults exploring coming out, self-acceptance, gender identity, intimacy, grief, faith-related conflict, and resilience in the face of marginalization.
LGBTQ+ counseling at Full Being Services is strengths-based, culturally responsive, and rooted in affirmation—supporting healing, empowerment, and wholeness across every stage of life.

Elana Blumenthal
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
As a therapist who sees a wide variety of clients with different backgrounds, religions, and cultures, sexual orientation and gender identity aligns with my expansive view of the world. I am interested in people with all different backgrounds and the LGBTQ+ community is no different for me in this respect. I hope to help this client understand themselves, have self-compassion and move forward in their lives and support them on this path.

LGBTQ+ Issues
Dr. Mike Abrams
Psychologist, PhD, MBA, ABPP
I was among the first psychologists to volunteer to counsel with people with AIDS beginning in 1986. In addition, my years of collaboration with people of all sexualities and gender identities have encouraged me to strongly view all sexualities as equally valid. However, I also understand that one's sexual and gender role plays a major role in the therapeutic process. I understand and have conducted research on the unique therapeutic needs of people with sexualities that are often marginalized.

You deserve a space where you don’t have to explain yourself and where your identity, relationships, and experiences are met with deep understanding and care. Whether you're navigating coming out, family dynamics, relationships, or the weight of societal expectations, therapy can be a place to explore who you are without fear or judgment. Together, we’ll work toward self-acceptance, connection, and a life that feels truly aligned with who you are.
