LGBTQ+
Dr. Yuye Zhang
Psychologist, PhD, MSW
I offer an affirming space for LGBTQ+ adults to explore identity, relationships, belonging, and the pressures that can come with navigating environments that may not fully understand or affirm who you are. Therapy can also provide room to explore the intersection of sexuality or gender with family, culture, race, and other parts of your identity, without asking you to separate one part of yourself from another.

Nader Mikhail
Hypnotherapist, C.Ht.
An affirming space where you never have to explain or justify who you are. Many LGBTQ+ adults carry anxiety, shame or self-doubt picked up from family, faith or past experiences. Hypnotherapy helps release those old messages at the subconscious level and build real self-acceptance and confidence. Free 15-minute consultation.

Maria T. Alonso, Ph.D.
Psychologist
In my work with LGBTQ+ individuals in psychotherapy, I strive to create a warm and supportive environment where clients can explore and embrace their authentic selves. I understand the unique challenges they may face, such as issues related to gender identity, sexual orientation, navigating relationships, and experiences of discrimination. By using a compassionate and non-judgmental approach, I help clients address these concerns while affirming their identity and experiences. I custom tailor therapy to meet each person where they are at, recognizing and valuing their individual history and circumstances. Whether it's processing feelings of uncertainty, building self-esteem, or developing strategies to handle discrimination, my goal is to support clients in living fully and confidently as their true selves, empowering them to build meaningful and fulfilling lives.
