Stephanie Miodus
Psychologist, PhD, NCSP
I specialize in providing affirming and inclusive care for LGBTQ+ individuals, including autistic and other neurodivergent clients. My approach emphasizes adapting therapeutic strategies to meet the unique needs of each individual while fostering a supportive and validating environment. I have experience advocating for and facilitating access to gender-affirming care, including providing letters of support for gender-affirming medical treatments.
In my work with LGBTQ+ youth, I prioritize family collaboration and use evidence-based practices, including the Family Acceptance Project’s family model, to strengthen relationships and promote mental health and well-being. I also provide guidance around gender identity exploration, helping clients navigate transitions and develop self-acceptance. My goal is to empower individuals and families by offering compassionate, identity-affirming care grounded in respect, understanding, and advocacy.

Dr. Amanda Malak
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist
With special attunement to providing support to LGBTQ+ individuals, I helppeople navigate challenges related to identity, coming out/letting in, relationships, and societal pressures. I support improving communication skills between family members with various belief systems fostering healthy relationships and developing coping strategies to enhance overall well-being. I offer a safe space where people can explore their feelings, choices, build self-acceptance, and address any concerns related to gender and sexual orientation. My approach includes using evidence-based therapies, such as CBT, to help manage issues like anxiety, depression, or discrimination that may arise. I specialize specifically with LGBTQ+ people from conservative backgrounds like conservative Muslims, Mormons, Christians, and many people from the Global South/Majority. Navigating these cultural dynamics adds a complexity that those from more progressive families and cultures may not understand.

Jill Verofsky
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.S., L.P.C., N.C.C.
Inclusion requires work, not just a hashtag. Slapping a rainbow logo on a corporate profile during June while staying quiet when actual rights are threatened is performative. Real allyship costs something—whether that’s calling out bigotry in private rooms or supporting policies that protect vulnerable people.
Internal accountability matters. Being marginalized doesn't make a community immune to internal issues like racism, transphobia, ageism, or classism. True solidarity means fighting for the most vulnerable members under the umbrella, not just the most privileged ones.

Dr. Berkeley Antonioli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, PhD, LCSW, LCSW-C, MEd
I have studied gender and sexuality spectrums since beginning my undergraduate career in 2005, largely as a result of my lived experiences with caregivers who were very polarized around topics of sex and gender. I consider myself an ally & serve a diverse client population with folks identifying across the LGBTQIA+ spectrum, as well as folks participating in kinky sex and ethical non-monogamy.

Iris Bowen
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, MBA
As a queer therapist, I am well versed in LGBTQIA+ issues and experiences and provide gender-affirming care based in both personal experience and professional education. I am a cis therapist holding a certificate in Affirmative Therapies for Transgender Communities and am intentional in continuing my education to provide high-quality care to trans and enby folks. One of my values as a cis therapist is to educate myself on trans issues so that my trans clients don’t have to. From it’s inception, my practice primarily works with queer and trans people of color.
