Ryan Shannon
Counselor/Therapist, LMHCA, MA, MS
Being gay, lesbian, or bisexual can bring unique questions and pressures around identity, relationships, family, belonging, and feeling safe enough to be fully yourself. You may be exploring your sexuality, considering coming out, navigating dating or intimacy, coping with rejection, or trying to understand how past experiences have shaped the way you connect with others.
I especially welcome gay men, lesbian women, and bisexual people who want a supportive, affirming space to speak openly without judgment or assumptions. We can explore concerns related to self-acceptance, loneliness, attachment, relationship patterns, shame, family dynamics, and the challenge of finding meaningful connection.
My goal is to help you feel more secure in who you are, more confident expressing your needs, and better able to build relationships in which you feel respected, understood, and free to be yourself.

Finley Anderson
Therapist, LMFT
Being LGBTQ+ in a world that hasn’t always affirmed you leaves a mark — even when things look fine on the outside. Whether you’re navigating coming out, processing family wounds, working through relationship challenges, or simply trying to feel at home in yourself, here you don’t have to explain or justify who you are.

Shira Collings
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
As a queer, nonbinary woman myself, I greatly enjoy supporting other members of the LGBTQIA+ community in exploring their sexual orientation and gender identity, navigating the process of coming out, and building relationships with people who are accepting and affirming of them. I have experience co-facilitating a therapy group for trans individuals as well as supporting those who are pursuing gender affirming medical care. I am especially passionate about supporting LGBTQIA+ folks who are working to build their families.

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.
