Marcus A. McDuffie Sr.
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW-S, BCD
I’m especially interested in supporting LGBTQIA+ individuals as they navigate the unique experiences and challenges that can come with identity, relationships, family dynamics, and personal growth. This may include exploring sexual orientation or gender identity, navigating coming out, managing family or societal expectations, addressing discrimination or rejection, developing self-acceptance, building healthy relationships, or working through the impact of past experiences on self-esteem and emotional well-being. Therapy can provide a safe, affirming, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore your identity, express yourself authentically, process difficult experiences, and develop greater confidence in who you are. My goal is to support you in creating a life and relationships that feel authentic, fulfilling, and aligned with your values.
I also have experience with depression, anxiety, couples and family counseling, grief and loss, work and career challenges, PTSD and trauma-focused therapy, stress management, ADHD, anger management, and many other therapeutic concerns. My goal is to provide compassionate, personalized care that helps you better understand yourself, build on your strengths, and create meaningful and lasting change.

Shannon Gorres
Life Coach, MDiv, MA
I help people who identify all over the gender, sexuality, and relationship spectrum. Sometimes their relationships or identity challenges are the focus of their sessions because they need support for unique situations, and sometimes it's just one aspect of a different question, such as, "Do I really want to move to that conservative city for my dream job?"
For me, LGBTQ+ includes 2S, A, poly and more. I also have a graduate certificate in Sexuality and Religion, so I understand how some religious institutions have harmed queer people. And I see and know how queer people have sacred experiences within and outside of mainstream religion, with a wide variety of spiritualities.
I'm queer (gender fluid and pansexual). I've known this since I was 13 years old, before there was so much information via the internet. I've been though many transitions of how I express myself and relate with others. You are welcome to express your truest yourself, your realest questions, and your deepest needs.

Dr. Mary Lyles
Therapist, PhD, LCSW
The social, political and family dynamics for LGBT people can be intense. While I am seeing fewer families rejecting their children, there are still challenges. I am here to listen and help.

Phillip McCulley
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, CSAT
I provide LGBTQ affirming therapy for individuals and couples who are navigating coming out, self acceptance, and the impact of sexual orientation or gender identity on family relationships. These experiences can bring a mix of relief, fear, grief, and hope, especially when family responses feel uncertain, unsupportive, or complex.
In therapy, I offer a space where you can explore your identity at your own pace without pressure or judgment. This may include working through internalized shame, fear of rejection, or questions about how and when to come out. I also help clients navigate conversations with family members, partners, or loved ones in ways that prioritize emotional safety and clarity.
For many people, this work involves redefining boundaries, strengthening self trust, and learning how to remain connected to others without compromising who they are. Whether you are seeking acceptance, repairing family relationships, or grieving the loss of hoped for support, my goal is to help you build a more grounded and authentic relationship with yourself and with the people in your life.
