Erik Stenglein
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LICSW
Specialties include LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy, sexual orientation and gender identity support, coming out, relationship concerns, minority stress, and trauma-informed care for adults.
I work with adults 18+ who identify as LGBTQIA+, including those navigating sexual orientation, gender identity, or relationship challenges. Many clients come to therapy feeling misunderstood, isolated, or impacted by minority stress, discrimination, or past trauma. My approach is affirming, collaborative, and trauma-informed, helping clients explore identity, process experiences of bias or rejection, and build self-acceptance and resilience. Therapy is a safe, confidential space to strengthen self-understanding, navigate transitions, and create a life that feels authentic and supported.

Abelee Groff
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
I provide affirming, trauma-informed therapy for adults navigating LGBTQ+ identity, coming out, minority stress, relationship dynamics, and societal pressures. I focus on creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their identity, experiences, and relationships without needing to educate their therapist.
I offer queer therapy and trans-affirming care, integrating attachment-based, somatic, and parts-informed approaches to help clients process emotions, regulate stress, and strengthen self-understanding. Therapy emphasizes self-compassion, resilience, and empowerment, supporting clients in building authentic connections with themselves and others while navigating the unique challenges of LGBTQ+ life.
