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.

Mountain Crest Counseling Services, LLC
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LCSW, and Register Associates
Navigating life as an LGBTQ+ person can bring unique experiences, from identity exploration and coming out to relationship challenges, family dynamics, discrimination, or the pressure of feeling misunderstood. Therapy can provide a safe, affirming, and judgment-free space to explore your identity, process difficult experiences, and feel more grounded in who you are.
Outpatient mental health therapy can support LGBTQ+ clients with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship concerns, family conflict, life transitions, stress, and the emotional impact of stigma or discrimination. Whether you are exploring your identity, navigating a major transition, or simply looking for a therapist who sees and respects you as a whole person, therapy can be a space to build confidence, resilience, authentic connection, and greater well-being.

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.

Serena Appel
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, AT-R
As part of the LGBTQ+ community and someone who has worked in within this population, I have both general and specific understanding when it comes to facing issues such as coming out, identity, transition, harassment or systemic oppression, relationships, trauma, co-occurring issues, and more. I provide a supportive and inclusive space for you to talk about whatever is on your mind.
NOTE: I do not currently offer transition support letters, but am happy to assist with locating resources.
