LGBTQ+ Issues
Kaijah Bjorklund
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LMHC
Discovering and living your authentic self in the areas of gender and sexuality should be something to celebrate — but in a world that still too often meets queerness with fear or shame, that journey can be complicated, painful, and isolating. I offer affirming, gender-inclusive therapy that holds space for all of who you are, without pathologizing or minimizing your experience. Whether you're navigating coming out, internalized shame, identity questions, discrimination trauma, or the unique stress of living in a heteronormative world, you belong here — fully and without editing yourself.

LGBTQ+ Issues
Gary D. Alexander
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, MFT, NCC
LGBTQIA+ individuals sometimes navigate unique challenges related to identity, relationships, family acceptance, and the impact of stigma or misunderstanding. In therapy we explore these experiences alongside the broader concerns many people bring to treatment, including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and patterns such as codependency. As this work unfolds, many people develop a stronger sense of authenticity, resilience, and emotional clarity in their lives.

LGBTQ+ Issues
Linda Schartman, MA LPC
Counselor/Therapist, Licensed Professional Counselor
People who aren't in our community often don't understand the effect of microagressions on mental health. Additionally, there are economic and cultural factors at play for LGBTQIA2s+ folks. I validate all adult consensual sexual or relationship practices (polyamory and ethical non-monogamy included) and help you navigate the challenging waters of dealing with external and internalized homophobia and maintaining healthy relationships with self and others.
