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.

Happy Apple - Center for Anxiety, Depression, & Couples
Counselor/Therapist, LMFT, LCSW, PhD, LMHC
Unfortunately, due to continued discrimination and marginalization by some segments of society, LGBTQ+ individuals suffer from higher rates of depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, and substance abuse than the general population. Therapy can help clients cope with the negative emotions, concerns, fears, and self questioning that can arise in the face of adverse social expectations.

Katherine Rabinowitz
Licensed Psychoanalyst, LP, M.A., NCPsyA
The world is changing. At least the part of it that we live in. Some of you may be troubled by the sexual orientation you've come to realize is part of you. It's not bad or good, right or wrong, it's just who you are. There will be people who can't accept that. Possibly your family. Possibly the religion you are or were a part of. But there is every-increasing awareness that being who you are is not an "illness" that needs a cure. It's an acceptable lifestyle (and one you didn't choose - it's in your DNA), and therapy can help you accept yourself, love yourself for who you are, and to deal with those in your life who can't or won't accept you for who you are. Life is still good, and will be better once you work through the issues that stand in your way.

Dr. Walter J. Matweychuk
Psychologist, Ph.D.
When bias and discrimination are part of a person's problems, I show them how not to anger themselves and then how to address the prejudice and discrimination constructively. In cases where people are shameful about their sexuality, I teach them how to unconditionally accept themselves and never to shame themselves for who they are and what they like both sexually and non-sexually.

As an LGBTQ allied person I open my practice to all gender identities and sexual orientations. I believe your identity is both valid and should be valued and supported. I have experience working with people of all gender identities and experience working with transgender youth.
