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.

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.

Wyatt Okeefe
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, LMHC, LPC, LPCC
Throughout my career, I have specialized in working with adults in the LGBTQIA+ community, with a particular focus on transgender and nonbinary individuals, partners navigating gender transition together, and supportive family members and friends. I also work with adults who have experienced childhood abuse and may be coping with trauma-related concerns, depression, anxiety, intimacy, and relationship challenges. My approach provides a supportive space to explore identity, relationships, healing, and personal growth. I do not provide traditional couples therapy.

Malama Counseling, LLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (or Questioning) therapy or affirmative therapy is a specialized, nonjudgmental approach that validates and supports individuals across the sexual orientation and gender identity spectra to promote self-acceptance and mental well-being. I help clients with gender affirming care who are seeking support to affirm their gender when it conflicts with the gender they were assigned at birth. This evidence-based, patient-centered care aims to treat gender dysphoria, improve mental health, and align outward physical traits with gender identity.

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.

Rose Snyder, EdM, PsyD, LLC
Psychologist, PsyD
I work with many clients in the LGBTQ+ community and have extensive experience supporting people as they explore and navigate their gender and sexual identities. I recognize that these experiences are shaped not only by our individual histories but also by the broader cultural and social context in which we live. I strive to create a therapeutic relationship where you can feel safe, understood, and accepted as you explore your identity, whether it feels well established or continues to evolve over time. My goal is to support you in developing a deeper understanding and acceptance of yourself on your own terms.
