Daniel Pagano

Licensed Psychoanalyst, PhD, LP, SCC

Together we view your LGBTQIA+ identity as a vital expression of your soul's desire for wholeness. Stepping into your true self is a courageous act of individuation. Our Jungian work honors this journey, helping you integrate all aspects of your being for a life of purpose and self-acceptance. Your experience holds a unique spiritual potency—reflecting the sacred archetypal role of the bridge-builder—revealing a deeper, fluid truth about the human spirit. We transform challenges into creative and spiritual insight, celebrating your true Self. Embracing your full identity is a profound spiritual act. We provide a supportive space to navigate the interplay between personal truth and the collective shadow, fostering deep inner harmony and celebrating your divine uniqueness.

Jen Johnston Collaborative Change Counseling and Wellness

Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LCSW, LMHC

One of our passions as a group of providers is working with people from the LGBTQ+ community. We help clients navigate questions regarding their sexual and gender identities, as well as how to move forward in ways that are consistent with their goals and values. We also understand the effects of minority stress over time, and how this can effect other mental health issues like depression, anxiety, and mood dysregulation. Thus, we work with many queer clients around issues unrelated to sexual or gender identity, but always from a position of affirmation of those identities. We also understand that there can be a lot of fear when seeking out providers in the mental health system around gender dysphoria. Individuals with gender dysphoria may fear being dismissed, invalidated, or worse. Parents of children who are questioning their gender may fear being judged for any concerns and be uncertain how best to move forward. Our approach is that of compassionate listening. As individuals, we want to hear your unique story and experience with gender as well as your hopes for the future, whether or not that conforms with any external expectations. As parents, we want to hear your unique story and experience with your child around their gender too and help you with the questions you may have. Our aim is to create a safe and inclusive environment.

Root & Rise Clinical Specialists

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-R

At Root & Rise, we believe that affirming LGBTQIA+ identities isn’t optional—it’s foundational to our practice. As a clinic co-led by Kristina Scaglione, LCSW-R, who has long worked with LGBTQIA+ individuals, couples, and families, we bring both lived-awareness and clinical fluency to gender, sexuality, non-traditional relationships, and identity transitions. Kristina’s background includes developing LGBTQIA+ mentoring initiatives, advocacy work on transgender rights, a history of designing programs for domestic violence in LGBTQIA+ settings, and maintaining licenses across NY, CT, FL, and MA. We do more than use inclusive language. We purposefully integrate modalities like CBT, EFT, trauma-informed care, holistic work and attachment/identity processing in ways that honor your unique lived experience—not in a “one-size-fits-all” way, but tailored to intersectionality, relational complexity, and the broader context of systemic stressors. This means we--you--feel seen, validated, held accountable, and empowered. If you’re seeking therapy where your gender, orientation, relationship style, and authentic self are embraced (not merely tolerated), and where the path ahead is built on clarity, safety, and growth, Root & Rise is ready and fully equipped to support you.
