Kelly McAleer
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I have 10+ years of experience providing LGBTQ+ affirming therapy, with particular experience working with transgender, nonbinary, gender-fluid, and gender-questioning adults. I support clients at all stages of gender exploration and transition, including those considering or navigating social and medical transition. Therapy offers a welcoming space to explore identity, relationships, and life experiences without assumptions about who you are or what your path should look like.

Dr. Max Hurley-Dorof
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I specialize in working with folks with many different identities. This includes but certainly not limited to: gender, sexuality, race, cultural, kink, etc. I work from an intersectional and systems approach; meaning working towards understanding how all of our identities relate to one another, and how they operate under the systems in which we live.

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.

Kate E. Stephenson
Life Coach, ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), Holistic Life, Career & Executive
My personal belief and my coaching ethos is that you are a whole, creative, resourceful person as you are, right now. That is a belief that is being challenged ad nauseam in the current climate. Assuming nothing, as a Holistic Life Coach, I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space to speak your truth, be who you are, and figure out what you want from life without anyone else's input, influence, or expectations. While this is true for everyone, it can be an even more powerful experience for those of us who feel silenced and rendered invisible in any aspect of our lives. I am NOT offering therapy, but coaching can absolutely complement and supplement your therapy work. Instead, I offer a toolbox of methods, approaches, and experiments that most therapists do not. Tools designed to help you embrace your success without apology; create ease in a world of hardship; center yourself and ground in your own wisdom; and come into agreement with yourself regardless of the dissonance of others.

Dr. Caroline Hicks
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Sexual orientation and gender identity development are my areas of focus, and we use this space to make sure all intersecting identities (e.g., racial, religious, political, national) are considered as you find your authentic path in the world. This space is one where we can focus on your sexual orientation and/or gender identity development, or use these identities as a source of context to our work. In addition, I work with many trans*, non-binary, gender nonconforming, gender fluid, and other gender expansive folx as they embark on their path of congruence. In addition, I write letters of support for gender affirming surgeries/medical procedures.

Dr. Lindsay Perrin
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I am committed to providing LGBTQ+ affirming care and creating a therapeutic environment where clients feel respected, understood, and free to be their authentic selves. For some individuals, questions related to sexual orientation or gender identity may be a central focus of therapy; for others, these aspects of identity are simply one part of a broader life experience. Regardless of what brings you to therapy, I strive to foster a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can openly explore your concerns, build on your strengths, and work toward meaningful change.

Karen J. Osterle
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSSA, LICSW
No matter how many letters, numbers and symbols are added, there is no catch-all category of "LGBT issues," so this category simply signals that this is a very safe space for individuals and couples who happen to love someone of the same (or non-binary) gender to talk about what is getting in the way of full connection, full functioning, and full growth.

Dr. Jason Wang, Inflection Points Therapy
Psychologist, PhD
Some LGBTQ+ clients come to therapy with concerns directly connected to their identities and experiences, while others want to address broader areas of their lives with a therapist to whom they don't need to explain their identity.
With LGBTQ+ clients, it can often be important to recognize the effects of stigma, discrimination, rejection, and social or political uncertainty while also recognizing sources of strength, including resilience, authenticity, pride, chosen family, friendship, and community.
