Jan Anderson
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Professional Counselor
I know how hard it is to find a counselor. You're about to go talk to someone about your pain or fears which makes you feel vulnerable. My first priority is to create a safe place for you. The most common feedback I get is, "you're so easy to talk to"
From there, we work together!

Dr. Mike Strand
Psychologist, PsyD
Members of the LGBTQ+ community often face unique challenges, from navigating personal identity and acceptance to confronting societal prejudice and discrimination. These experiences can lead to feelings of isolation, anxiety, and stress, impacting mental health and well-being. My LGBTQ+ affirming therapy creates a safe and supportive space to explore these issues, offering understanding, validation, and strategies for coping and thriving, embracing your true self with pride and confidence.

Jennifer Plumb Vilardaga, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
Wherever you are on your journey, I aim to support you. We can work together on defining goals for your care whether it be exploring your identity, exploring if/how to share your identity with others, or coping with other stressors related to your life, we will take each as it comes. For some, their gender or sexual identity (or how others currently or historically have responded negatively or harmfully to you) is at the forefront of their life and treatment goals, and for some it is an important part of themselves but not a current focus for care. I aim to be affirming in all that we do, learning about and supporting you as a whole human worthy of dignity, respect, and kindness.

Jean Castle
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Professional Counselor MA, LPC
The LGBTQIA+ community faces mental health issues and unique challenges, in addition to daily stressors, at higher risks than other sections of our society and this is done often without support from the people they most want support from. Having familiarity and experience with orientation/identity is a must for successful therapy outcomes and a level of comfort with a therapist who has experience with community issues eases the process. The rapidly changing situations in our society results in even greater oppression, discrimination, and wellbeing issues. Being authentic and having a sense of self sometimes is met with pressures that lead to mental health concerns. Providing a safe, judgement free space to explore all the concerns and life challenges is what I offer.
