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.

Michael Pollet
Registered Social Worker, CSWA
As a gay man, I bring lived experience to my work with people in the LGBTQIA+ community. We will examine the roots of shame, guilt, and other challenging emotions that may be tied to societal expectations, family dynamics, or past relationships. By uncovering these underlying patterns and the impact they have on your sense of self, we can work toward reducing the weight of these emotions.

Lesley Lacny
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.A, Psych.R, C.Psych, LPC
LGBTQ+ experiences can involve unique challenges related to identity, relationships, family dynamics, self-acceptance, and navigating social or cultural pressures. Many people also carry the impact of stigma, rejection, or feeling misunderstood.
I provide a supportive and affirming space for LGBTQ+ individuals to explore their identity, relationships, and lived experiences. Together, we will look beneath surface-level concerns to understand the emotional patterns, internal conflicts, and external stressors that may be impacting your well-being.
The focus is on helping you feel more grounded, self-accepting, and connected to who you are, while building resilience and clarity as you navigate your life and relationships.

Sandy Shores Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, ACMHC, CSW, LCSW
We offer affirmative therapy for individuals from BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities, addressing unique challenges and barriers to treatment with culturally competent therapists. Feeling isolated or lonely as an LGBTQ+ person can be especially painful, particularly in spaces where you don’t feel fully seen or accepted. In therapy, we’ll create a safe, affirming space to explore these feelings and work toward building authentic connections and a deeper sense of belonging.
