Jess Williams
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSS, LCSW
It's hard to be queer, gay, trans, or otherwise gender-and-sexuality expansive in a world that (increasingly) doesn't accept you for you who you are, thinks you're "making a choice," or quite frankly doesn't want you to exist. As a queer-identified therapist, I understand what a major difference it can make to have support people in your life, AND I know that not everyone has those people. By specializing in working with the queer community, I have made it my goal to create an open, honest, and truly (not performatively) supportive space where you can be who you are and bring what you really need support with to the table. Whether it's exploring your identities, finding community, setting boundaries with challenging people who don't accept you, exploring gender-affirming care, or showing up authentically in relationships, I can help.
Starting therapy can be anxiety-provoking at times, which is why I offer free consultations to all prospective clients. You can book a free 20 minute phone call directly on my website, and I'll reach out to you right away to confirm. We can chat about what you're looking for support with AND make sure everything feels like a good fit before scheduling an intake. I can't wait to connect with you!

HUGH R STEWART III
Hypnotherapist, Ph.D., ACHt.
I myself identify as queer, bi sensual, and identify my pronouns as he/him, they, them. There is a lot of crossover in the alternative communities I frequent at workshops, retreats, festivals, and polyamory. As a result I have become quite familiar, proficient, and can identify with this group of individuals. From being educated in social justice at Sex Geek Summer Camp, Loving More and The Poly Living Conference, The International School of Temple Arts, and The Essential Experience Community and workshop, I have become very involved in the LGBQT communities. This offers me first hand experience with the issues at hand in the LGBQT Community.

CHRISTIE BAUR PSYCHOTHERAPY
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC
Navigating life as an LGBTQ+ person can come with unique challenges—identity exploration, family dynamics, relationships, societal pressures, or simply the need for a space where you don’t have to explain or defend who you are. Whether you’re questioning, coming out, healing from past experiences, or looking for support in living authentically, you deserve a therapist who understands and affirms your identity. In therapy, I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space where all identities, orientations, and expressions are respected and celebrated. Together, we’ll explore what you’re facing with compassion and clarity—whether it’s anxiety, relationship stress, self-acceptance, or the impact of invalidating environments. My goal is to help you feel grounded, empowered, and supported as you navigate your life on your own terms. You deserve to feel seen, valued, and fully yourself.
