Farzana Rahman
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC-D
Over the years, I've gained extensive experience working with couples who are part of queer relationships, polyamory, and open-monogamy relationships. I have also worked with individuals who are exploring what their sexuality means to them and learning how to navigate disclosing their identity to family, partners, and/or friends. I welcome people to come as they are and we can understand your story together!

Greta Klaber
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ma, LMFT
As someone who is part of the queer community, I bring both personal and professional commitment to creating a therapeutic space that is affirming, informed, and supportive of LGBTQ+ clients. I understand how identity, relationship structures, and cultural context shape our inner lives, and I approach this work with respect, curiosity, and care. I have experience working with clients across the gender spectrum, including trans and genderqueer individuals, as well as those in non-monogamous or non-traditional relationships. Especially in today’s political climate, I believe it’s essential for therapists to be not only affirming, but also actively informed and engaged. My approach is collaborative, non-pathologizing, and centered on your lived experience.

Kate E. Stephenson
Life Coach, ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), Holistic Life, Career & Executive
My personal belief and my coaching ethos is that you are a whole, creative, resourceful person as you are, right now. That is a belief that is being challenged ad nauseam in the current climate. Assuming nothing, as a Holistic Life Coach, I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space to speak your truth, be who you are, and figure out what you want from life without anyone else's input, influence, or expectations. While this is true for everyone, it can be an even more powerful experience for those of us who feel silenced and rendered invisible in any aspect of our lives. I am NOT offering therapy, but coaching can absolutely complement and supplement your therapy work. Instead, I offer a toolbox of methods, approaches, and experiments that most therapists do not. Tools designed to help you embrace your success without apology; create ease in a world of hardship; center yourself and ground in your own wisdom; and come into agreement with yourself regardless of the dissonance of others.

Dr. Lindsay Perrin
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I am committed to providing LGBTQ+ affirming care and creating a therapeutic environment where clients feel respected, understood, and free to be their authentic selves. For some individuals, questions related to sexual orientation or gender identity may be a central focus of therapy; for others, these aspects of identity are simply one part of a broader life experience. Regardless of what brings you to therapy, I strive to foster a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can openly explore your concerns, build on your strengths, and work toward meaningful change.
