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.

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.

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.
