Carolyne Mburu-Gerena
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP-BC
I provide a supportive and inclusive environment for individuals navigating issues related to sexual orientation, gender identity, and life experiences within the LGBTQ+ community. Treatment focuses on addressing mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, identity stress, and relationship challenges while fostering a space where individuals feel respected and affirmed.

LGBTQ+
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. Andrew Bingman
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist, PsyD
I am a proud member of and advocate for the LGBTQIA+ community, and I enjoy working with LGBTQIA+ clients, particularly gay, bisexual, and/or queer men. My specialities include helping individuals overcome internalized homophobia or transphobia and working with clients to cope with coming out issues or experiences of prejudice or discrimination. In addition to adult individual therapy, I provide evaluations and referral letters for gender-affirming care.

LGBTQ+
Dr. Weston Donaldson
Psychologist, PhD, ABPP
Being LGBTQ+ can mean building a life, family, and community in ways that others may take for granted. IT can mean navigating rejection, estrangement, relationships that don't fit traditional expectations, or losses that others don't fully recognize. As a gay psychologist, I bring both professional experience and personal understanding of queer life to our work. You shouldn't have to explain why your chosen family matter or educate your therapist about the basics of your experience before getting to what you really need to talk about. You get to show up as yourself, talk about what's actually going on, and figure out what you want your life to look like from here.
