Alton Wampler
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S
From an Internal Family Systems perspective, LGBTQ+ issues often involve parts shaped by experiences of stigma, rejection, or the need to hide aspects of identity for safety. Protective parts may manage this by people-pleasing, hypervigilance, or self-criticism, while more vulnerable parts carry shame, fear, or longing for acceptance. Therapy supports clients in accessing Self to compassionately relate to these parts, fostering integration, authenticity, and a stronger sense of internal and relational safety.

Andrew McKenzie, Psy.D.
Psychologist
As a gay psychologist, I understand that LGBTQ+ experiences are shaped by far more than identity alone. Whether you're navigating coming out, relationships, family dynamics, marginalization stress, or simply looking for a therapist who understands your lived experience, I offer an affirming space where every part of you is welcome. Together, we'll explore life's challenges with curiosity, compassion, and a focus on building a life that brings meaning, vitality, and purpose. My goal is to help you build greater flexibility in responding to challenging emotions and experiences so that your day-to-day rhythm feels more authentic, connected, and free.

Joseph W. LaFleur
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LICSW, DWTF, SEP, C-PATP
As an LGBTQ+ affirming practice, we don't just accept queer and trans identities—we understand the specific challenges that come with them. Coming out, navigating family rejection, building chosen family, managing minority stress, exploring gender identity, and finding authentic relationships all require space to process without having to educate your therapist. Our clinicians bring both professional training and lived experience to this work, creating a space where you can explore who you are without justification or explanation.
