Stigma-free, affirming therapy for LGBTQIA+ Individuals
Do you live outside of the heteronormative-cisgender box?
Have you been to other supposed “LGBTQ-friendly” counselors who had no idea what you were talking about?
Could you use a safe space to process your feelings and assess your goals?
Or maybe you’re seeking relationship counseling from someone who understands where you’re coming from.
If you can relate to any of the above, then you’ve come to the right place.
No judgments. No biases. Just a strong support system with open ears.
Stigma, in any form, is an impediment to the well-being of those who experience it. Given the stressors that LGBT groups must confront, such as homophobia, prejudice, coming out, and discrimination, finding a therapist who is openly LGBT-friendly or who specializes in LGBT issues is crucial to your personal growth.
As LGBTQIA+ affirming therapists, we are committed to helping clients of all genders, sexual identities and expressions feel not only safe, but truly respected.
If you or someone you know is seeking help from an LGBTQIA+ therapist, contact us today. we would be happy to speak with you about how we can help.

Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
For many queer and trans people, the project of selfhood involves a double labor: becoming who you are while contending with a world that has opinions about whether that person should exist. The effects are not always dramatic. Sometimes they are quiet — a lifelong habit of self-editing, a flinch so practiced it no longer registers as a flinch. Therapy is a place where the full weight of that experience can be acknowledged, and where the self that survived it can begin to discover what it wants when it is no longer organizing itself around someone else's discomfort.

Psychologist, Ph.D.
I began working to understand LGBTQIA+ experiences as a volunteer at a crisis hotline during college. As a graduate student, I was part of a team who developed a scale to measure ally development. Throughout my private practice, I have worked to make sure that my office is a supportive space for individuals of all orientations.
