LGBTQ+ Issues
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.

Rebecca Castle-Waller
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Hi! Scary world out there, huh? I don't know about you, but it feels like since Obergefell v. Hodges things have been getting scarier and scarier for our community. If you're feeling anxious, exhausted, outrage fatigued, sad, or any of the other big feels that makes so much sense! Let's give you a space to process that and build the skills that you need to be able to thrive. In a world like this, our most powerful resistance is to choose joy in the face of oppression.

Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
LGBTQ+ issues are ones which are close to my heart as I am a gay-identified man. LGBTQ+ individuals share many unique experiences due to their sexual orientation and gender identity. The symptoms that result from those experience are often more accurately understood by a psychologist who has shared in those experiences. This understanding facilitates greater affirmation and validation of your needs, along with designing a more effective approach to achieve your desired symptom relief. Helping people in our LGBTQ+ community is one of the primary reasons I decided to become a psychologist.
