Molly Halbrooks
Counselor/Therapist, LMFT
Particularly now, it's vital to have a protected place to process fears, trauma, identity questions, anger, grief, and a multitude of other concerns that are heightened for members of the LGBTQIA+ community. I hold a safe, non-judgemental, and open space for all individuals, and affirm the identities that are a part of who you are.

Heather Avery Grant
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
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!

Dr. Yuye Zhang
Psychologist, PhD, MSW
I offer an affirming space for LGBTQ+ adults to explore identity, relationships, belonging, and the pressures that can come with navigating environments that may not fully understand or affirm who you are. Therapy can also provide room to explore the intersection of sexuality or gender with family, culture, race, and other parts of your identity, without asking you to separate one part of yourself from another.

Whether you’re exploring identity, navigating relationships, or processing the impact of discrimination, stress, or family dynamics, our work is grounded in respect, safety, and understanding. I take a collaborative, nonjudgmental approach, integrating practical tools and mind-body awareness to support emotional well-being, self-acceptance, and resilience. You deserve care that honors who you are—and helps you feel more confident and at home in yourself.
