A Little Healing LLC
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
You deserve a space where you can explore who you are without feeling like you have to explain, minimize, or defend yourself. I provide affirming therapy for LGBTQ+ clients navigating concerns such as identity, relationships, self-esteem, family dynamics, boundaries, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and the impact of rejection or difficult past experiences. Therapy can be a place to untangle other people’s expectations from your own wants and needs, strengthen your relationship with yourself, and explore what living authentically means to you. My goal is to provide a supportive space where every part of you is welcome and you can feel empowered to build a life and relationships that feel genuine to who you are.

Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
LGBTQ+ issues are ones which are close to my heart as I am a gay-identified man. LGBTQ+ individuals share many unique experiences due to their sexual orientation and gender identity. The symptoms that result from those experience are often more accurately understood by a psychologist who has shared in those experiences. This understanding facilitates greater affirmation and validation of your needs, along with designing a more effective approach to achieve your desired symptom relief. Helping people in our LGBTQ+ community is one of the primary reasons I decided to become a psychologist.

Melanie Collins
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC, LCMHC, Coach
I provide affirming therapy for lesbian, gay, and bisexual adults and couples, with particular experience addressing sexuality, relationships, intimacy, identity, coming out, family dynamics, and self-acceptance. My approach is sex-positive and nonjudgmental, and I welcome diverse relationship structures and expressions of sexuality. While I provide an affirming environment for people of all gender identities, gender transition and transgender-specific concerns are not currently areas of specialization in my practice.
