Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, SEP
I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ individuals, providing an affirming and supportive space where you can show up as your full, authentic self. Whether you’re exploring identity, navigating relationships, or processing the impact of discrimination, stress, or family dynamics, our work is grounded in respect, safety, and understanding. I take a collaborative, nonjudgmental approach, integrating practical tools and mind-body awareness to support emotional well-being, self-acceptance, and resilience. You deserve care that honors who you are—and helps you feel more confident and at home in yourself.

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.

Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist committed to supporting the mental health and well-being of the LGBT+ community, my approach to treatment is rooted in cultural humility, affirming the diverse identities and experiences of each individual. Through a safe and inclusive therapeutic space, I provide affirmative therapy that validates clients' identities, experiences, and challenges they may face due to societal stigma and discrimination. Utilizing culturally competent and evidence-based approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), narrative therapy, and interpersonal therapy, I work collaboratively with clients to address concerns related to coming out, family acceptance, relationship issues, and identity exploration. Additionally, I advocate for social support networks and community resources to facilitate connection and resilience. My goal is to empower LGBT+ individuals to navigate life authentically, foster self-acceptance, and thrive in their identities.

Couples Counseling Center
Counselor/Therapist, Ph.D., LPC
LGBTQ+ couples face all the usual relationship challenges, plus the added stress of being misunderstood, judged, or navigating systems that weren’t built with you in mind. I provide a safe, affirming space where you don’t have to explain who you are before we get to the work of healing, growing, or reconnecting. Your relationship deserves support that sees and respects your whole story.
