Dr. Wayne Bullock
Psychologist, PsyD, MEd
Identifying within a minority group creates a host of stresses, along with all of the other challenges of life. I have significant experience working with LGBTQ persons and understand the aggressions, micro and otherwise, that face these communities. I also understand the pressures that can arise from internalized messages from a heteronormative society. You deserve a space where you can unpack all of your feelings about these, as well as construct your narrative of who you are and where you want to be in life.

Bold Expressions Therapy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
As a member of the LGBT community, and as someone who holds degrees both in psychology and LGBT Health and Policy, I couple an academic understanding of the unique disparities that come with these identities with a profound personal knowledge of them in my own life. Not all patients have had positive experiences with the medical community, so it is my hope that my education and bisexual identity will serve my patients in a way that makes them feel both heard and seen. I also recognize that our identities can be static, or they can be fluid, and that the coming out process isn’t something we do just once: we do it over and over again. I do not personally identify as cisgender, and so I approach the issues facing the transgender, nonbinary, genderqueer, and gender non-conforming communities with deep empathy and personal understanding. From fluidity to transitioning, hormone replacement therapy, to writing letters for surgery, I am committed to supporting my clients on their journeys. Not everyone experiences their own gender in the same way, so the discussion of gender as a construct and societal gender norms is at the forefront of our discussions in working through the big mess that is gender.
