LGBTQ+ Issues
Maddy Engelfried
Pre-Licensed Professional
I was a member of the queer community long before I was a therapist, and I believe that identity is a journey rather than a destination. I've also worked with queer youth and elders in individual and group therapy settings, and I've worked with the peers and parents of LGBTQ youth to help them better understand allyship.

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.

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.

Michael Pollet
Pre-Licensed Professional, SW
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.
