Elana Blumenthal
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PsyA
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.

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.

Lenny Gallo
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Being part of the LGBTQIA+ community can bring incredible strength and resilience—but it can also come with unique challenges. Even as acceptance grows, discrimination, judgment, and pressure to conform still impact daily life and mental health.
Whether you’re coming out, exploring your gender or sexual identity, navigating family dynamics, considering non-monogamy, raising children, or aging in a world that doesn’t always understand—you're not alone. These experiences can bring up anxiety, depression, shame, or isolation, and you don’t have to carry that alone.
Therapy offers a space to talk openly about identity, sex, relationships, and health—including informed sexual decision-making and options like PrEP—without fear of judgment.
You deserve affirming care that respects who you are and supports where you want to go. Together, we can help you feel more grounded, empowered, and aligned with your values.
