Dan Walinsky
Psychologist, PhD
Much of my career has focused on supporting LGBTQIA people in any number of ways. Whether you're at a point where you're considering coming out, if you're exploring your sexual or gender identity, or need space to process the important relationships in your life, this can be a great space to do some work. Many LGBTQIA people have had to make compromises in their lives to fit into social norms that don't mirror queer realities, and doing so can leave a real impact. I love to help LGBTQIA people work toward becoming more fully themselves.

MN Couples & Family Therapy
Psychologist, Ph.D., L.P.
Everyone has the right to be able to be who they are, to love whom they love, and to be understood. Most of the work I do in the LGBTQ space is in couples therapy. I am able to approach the unique nuances and challenges that LGBTQ couples may face, allowing me to deliver the best therapy results for each & every client. I have many family members who identify within the LGBTQ community.

Hannah Muetzelfeld
Psychologist, PhD
I am a gender-affirming and queer-affirming therapist, and promote openness and acceptance in my practice. I greatly enjoy working with queer and gender-expansive clients, and strive to create a space where individuals can feel safe, seen, and celebrated in their identities. I offer trans-affirmative care, and have worked with several clients at various stages through their gender identity journey. I also have experience with letter-writing for gender affirming services in alignment with WPATH standards, and approach this process collaboratively and respectfully.

Members of the LGBTQ+ community often face unique challenges, from navigating personal identity and acceptance to confronting societal prejudice and discrimination.
