Dr. Michael M. Grant

As a gay man myself, I am intimately familiar with the struggle, the misunderstanding, the judgments, and the challenges of living as a member of the LGBTQA community. Support is essential and I can provide that to you.

Bold Expressions Therapy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
As a member of the LGBT community, and as someone who holds degrees both in psychology and LGBT Health and Policy, I couple an academic understanding of the unique disparities that come with these identities with a profound personal knowledge of them in my own life. Not all patients have had positive experiences with the medical community, so it is my hope that my education and bisexual identity will serve my patients in a way that makes them feel both heard and seen. I also recognize that our identities can be static, or they can be fluid, and that the coming out process isn’t something we do just once: we do it over and over again. I do not personally identify as cisgender, and so I approach the issues facing the transgender, nonbinary, genderqueer, and gender non-conforming communities with deep empathy and personal understanding. From fluidity to transitioning, hormone replacement therapy, to writing letters for surgery, I am committed to supporting my clients on their journeys. Not everyone experiences their own gender in the same way, so the discussion of gender as a construct and societal gender norms is at the forefront of our discussions in working through the big mess that is gender.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I pride myself on holding space for all members of the LGBTQ+ community. Some of the issues I have focused on with clients in the past have included chemsex, gender dysphoria, gender identity, sexual identity, romantic orientation, family-of-origin homophobia and transphobia, and sexual health and wellness.

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.

Sarah Gersick
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Feeling safe and understood are fundamental to having a positive experience with therapy. I offer identity-affirming care that allows for free and deep exploration of current issues and ongoing patterns, without worrying about hidden judgments or over-pathologizing. Trans, poly, and ace inclusive and affirming.
