Dr. Anna Smith
Psychologist, PsyD, MEd, MA
Navigating coming out, identity exploration, minority stress, family rejection, or the unique challenges that can arise in queer, trans, or non-heteronormative relationships takes courage and support. I provide an affirming, kink- and trans-friendly space to process these experiences, reduce the weight of shame or external pressure, and build authentic connections—with yourself and with partners. Whether you’re working on individual identity, relationship dynamics, or creating the kind of intimacy that truly fits who you are, therapy here honors all parts of you.

Dr. Caroline Hicks
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Sexual orientation and gender identity development are my areas of focus, and we use this space to make sure all intersecting identities (e.g., racial, religious, political, national) are considered as you find your authentic path in the world. This space is one where we can focus on your sexual orientation and/or gender identity development, or use these identities as a source of context to our work. In addition, I work with many trans*, non-binary, gender nonconforming, gender fluid, and other gender expansive folx as they embark on their path of congruence. In addition, I write letters of support for gender affirming surgeries/medical procedures.

Dr. Jason Wang, Inflection Points Therapy
Psychologist, PhD
Some LGBTQ+ clients come to therapy with concerns directly connected to their identities and experiences, while others want to address broader areas of their lives with a therapist to whom they don't need to explain their identity.
With LGBTQ+ clients, it can often be important to recognize the effects of stigma, discrimination, rejection, and social or political uncertainty while also recognizing sources of strength, including resilience, authenticity, pride, chosen family, friendship, and community.
