Reclaim Counseling, PLLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LMHC
I work with trans, non-binary, and all manifestations of gender identities. I have a special connection to helping others who are struggling with identity because I have had to go through so many of my own struggles around identity in my life. The struggle around identity can be so confusing, isolating, and hard to put into words. And yet there is nothing more beautiful then when we are able to eventually re-write our narrative and reclaim our truth.

Stephanie Ennen
Therapist, LPC,LCPC, LMHC
I provide a safe and affirming space for individuals within the LGBTQ+ community to explore their identities, navigate personal challenges, and address the unique stressors that can arise from societal pressures, discrimination, and relationship dynamics.
In our sessions, we will focus on understanding and embracing your identity, whether you’re grappling with questions about sexual orientation, gender identity, or the coming-out process. I utilize an affirmative therapeutic approach that validates your experiences and fosters a sense of belonging and self-acceptance.
Together, we will address any feelings of anxiety, depression, or isolation that may stem from experiences of marginalization or internal conflict. I draw on techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness practices to help you develop coping strategies, enhance emotional resilience, and improve self-esteem.
Additionally, I emphasize psychoeducation, providing you with information about the complexities of LGBTQ+ identities and the impact of societal factors on mental health. This knowledge can empower you to advocate for yourself and build supportive networks.
My goal is to create a compassionate and inclusive environment where you can express your thoughts and feelings openly. Together, we can work towards personal growth, healthier relationships, and a deeper sense of authenticity in your life.

Queer and 2SLGBTQIA identities are constantly under attack in society but I know that our experiences extend far beyond those labels. WHile sexuality and gender may not be central to our work, the cultural and systemic intersections of those identities with our work will be honored and attended to.

Lauren Hammond
Psychologist, PhD
LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy is an approach to care designed to help you feel comfortable and affirmed by your therapist. Affirmative therapy takes the position that all sexual orientations and gender identities exist on a continuum and are healthy and natural. Affirmative therapy emphasizes the unique minority stressors you may face and aims to help you build effective coping skills to handle those stressors, highlight your strengths and resilience, and feel empowered in your body and sexual orientation.
