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.

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.
