Jess Clodfelter
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LCMHC, LPC, NCC, CCTP-II
You don’t need therapy where you’re educating your therapist on the basics of your identity — you need one where you can actually get support. I work primarily with LGBTQ+ folx, especially trans and nonbinary clients, navigating identity exploration, dysphoria, relationships, and the stress of existing in systems that weren’t built with you in mind. This is a space where you don’t have to shrink yourself, explain yourself, or brace for weird reactions. We focus on helping you feel more grounded in who you are, build self-trust, and move through the world with a little more clarity and a lot less second-guessing.
I also provide gender-affirming surgery letters through a collaborative, non-gatekeeping process, so you can access the care you need without unnecessary barriers or hoops to jump through.

Paulina Mendez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSWA, LCASA
For many LGBTQ+ folks, life includes navigating safety, belonging, and authenticity in environments that don’t always offer ease or affirmation. Therapy with me is a space where you don’t need to explain or defend who you are. I offer relational, affirming support; a place to be witnessed fully while exploring identity, relationships, and the stressors that come with living in a world that can be both tender and demanding.

Heather Avery Grant
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSWA
I love working with members of my own community! I’m a queer cis/nb person who is kink/poly-inclined and personally experienced in open and monogamous relationships, long term marriage, divorce, second chances, etc. I'm not confused or unsettled by any consensual attraction or relationship configuration. Wherever you are in your process - out for decades or just figuring things out - I welcome you!

Claire Robinson-Scalzi
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LCMHCA, NCC
Tired of your identities being called an "issue"? Hear hear! Whether your identities are a reason you're coming to therapy or not, all of you is welcome and celebrated here! I work to create a space where you can show up just as you are. I draw upon my experience as a queer and genderfluid person, and I have personal and clinical experience with gender diversity, the asexuality spectrum, polyamory, and more.

Dr. Amy Hecht
Psychologist, PhD
I work with individuals and couples across the LGBTQ+ spectrum, supporting a wide range of experiences related to identity, relationships, and family building. This can include exploring questions of identity and self-understanding, navigating coming out, managing family dynamics, and building affirming, meaningful relationships.
I have particular experience working with LGBTQ+ individuals and couples pursuing non-traditional paths to parenthood, including adoption, surrogacy, and donor conception. I understand both the unique stressors and the profound strengths that can come with these journeys.
My approach is affirming, nuanced, and grounded in deep respect for each person’s lived experience. I aim to create a space where clients feel fully seen and understood, while also helping them navigate challenges with clarity, confidence, and a strong sense of self.

Tal Brafford
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LCMHC-A
I came to this work because of the LGBTQ+ identities I hold. I understand how important lived experience is for building safety in a therapeutic relationship. Healthcare can be a scary place for the Queer community. My goal is to provide an open and warm environment for you to unpack your things and get comfy.

Charlotte's position as a major banking and financial hub drives strong demand for therapists specializing in workplace stress, perfectionism, and the particular pressures of corporate and executive careers. The city has grown rapidly through domestic migration, and therapists frequently work with the isolation, loneliness, and adjustment difficulties common among newcomers building community in a fast-growing city. Charlotte also has a strong faith community, and many therapists offer faith-integrated approaches alongside evidence-based treatment for clients who value that alignment. Atrium Health and Novant Health serve as the city's major institutional mental health anchors.
