LGBTQ+ Issues
Michelle Bloom, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD, PsyPact
I believe that identity in all its manifestations is on a spectrum, not a binary, and that one of the goals for creating a meaningful life is finding and developing healthy love for self and others. Who we love, how we love, and how we define ourselves in terms of gender and sexuality and how we communicate that to ourselves and others can be a beautiful, freeing process. I wish to help my clients embrace, celebrate, and express their identity.

Dr. Amana Carvalho
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I specialize in LGBTQ issues, including transgender healthcare. My approach is affirming and inclusive. Therapy provides a safe, supportive space for clients to explore gender identity and/or sexual orientation, romantic relationships, and experiences of Minority Stress without judgment. As an affirming therapist, I validate clients' identities, help them navigate challenges like discrimination, coming out, or family rejection, and support mental health and self-acceptance. This approach fosters empowerment, resilience, and personal growth.
