Becca Edwards
Therapist, LMSW, Ed.S., M.ed
I provide LGBTQ+ affirming therapy grounded in the belief that your identity does not need to be explained, defended, or changed in the therapy room. Whether you’re navigating identity, relationships, family dynamics, coming out, discrimination, or simply wanting a space where you can fully be yourself, I’m here to support you.

Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
For many queer and trans people, the project of selfhood involves a double labor: becoming who you are while contending with a world that has opinions about whether that person should exist. The effects are not always dramatic. Sometimes they are quiet — a lifelong habit of self-editing, a flinch so practiced it no longer registers as a flinch. Therapy is a place where the full weight of that experience can be acknowledged, and where the self that survived it can begin to discover what it wants when it is no longer organizing itself around someone else's discomfort.
