The Empowering Space PLLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Affirming & Supportive Therapy for LGBTQ+ Individuals
Your identity, relationships, and experiences deserve to be understood and celebrated. At The Empowering Space, we provide inclusive, affirming, and judgment-free therapy for LGBTQ+ individuals navigating challenges related to identity, coming out, family dynamics, relationships, mental health, and societal pressures.
Our therapists offer a safe, supportive environment where you can explore your experiences, process emotions, and build self-confidence. Using evidence-based approaches like Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and identity-affirming counseling, we help you manage anxiety, depression, self-acceptance, and the impact of discrimination or trauma.
You deserve a space where you feel seen, heard, and valued. Let’s walk this journey together.

Conor Hogan
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I am an LGBTQ+-affirming therapist with experience working with individuals across the gender and sexuality spectrum, and I continue to pursue training in this area. I understand the importance of feeling safe with a therapist and am sadly aware of the harm the field (both intentional and unintentional) has done to people of various marginalized identities. I also do not make any identity the center of therapeutic work unless it is something the client wants to work on.

There can vast emotions that we feel when we're part of the LGBTQ+ community. As someone in the community and who has worked with countless individuals over the years, I have a passion for working with the community and creating a space for self-exploration and healing.

Dr. Anna Smith
Psychologist, PsyD, MEd, MA
Navigating coming out, identity exploration, minority stress, family rejection, or the unique challenges that can arise in queer, trans, or non-heteronormative relationships takes courage and support. I provide an affirming, kink- and trans-friendly space to process these experiences, reduce the weight of shame or external pressure, and build authentic connections—with yourself and with partners. Whether you’re working on individual identity, relationship dynamics, or creating the kind of intimacy that truly fits who you are, therapy here honors all parts of you.
