Dr. Lois Horowitz
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Ph.D., LCSW
As an LGBTQ therapist, I pay special attention to the age and circumstances surrounding self-discovery and the coming-out processes because it can greatly impact how an individual feels about the world. Many LGBTQ people have grown up with a stigmatized identity, and have had more developmental tasks to negotiate.

Jillian Martino
Art Therapist, CAT-LP
Our sexual identities can be experienced in a variety of ways. Individuals experience gender from fairly fixed to fully fluid, and sometimes evolving over time. At time our sexual identities are impacted by other identities, such as gender, race, ethnicity or lived experiences. Whether you identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, MTF, FTM, transitioning, queer, pansexual, asexual or questioning this is a safe space to explore what those identities mean to you. As a member of the community I understand your concerns and create an environment free of pressure to pick a label and help you explore and find the language which best suits you. I strive to create space for you to claim and accept your identities and feel empowered. By the way, I acknowledge you may already know and embrace your gender and sexual identities. They may not be the reason you are considering therapy at all. Please rest assured that if you are seeking someone who understands your identities so you feel safe opening up, but do not want to focus on them as an area of concern, I won’t.
