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.

LGBTQ+ Issues
Zaray Dratch
Pre-Licensed Professional, MFT-LP
Finding a therapist who doesn't need you to explain yourself from the beginning makes a difference. For LGBTQ+ clients, too many therapy experiences start with education, having to define terms, justify your relationship structure, or convince your therapist that your life is valid. That's not what happens here.
Whether you're navigating coming out, relationship dynamics that don't fit a traditional mold, family rejection, identity, or the particular kind of stress that comes from living in a world that still requires you to fight for basic dignity, this is a space that starts from affirmation and moves forward from there. No explaining, no justifying, no shrinking.
Relationship issues within LGBTQ+ partnerships carry their own specific weight. Communication, intimacy, trust, and commitment look different when you're also managing external pressure, internalized stigma, or the absence of relationship models that actually reflect your life. All of that is welcome here.

Maricia Thompson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
It is a know fact that members of the LGBTQIA community are faced with many challenges and these challenges can lead to struggles with a number of mental health issues. As a lesbian therapist, I understand the struggle and make it my goal to understand your individual struggle as well. Issues such as gender identity/expression, expressing sexual orientation, coming out to family and friends and dealing with discrimination amongst others are topics that are welcomed.
