LGBTQ+ Issues
Brittany Shannon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
For many people, trauma is not always a single event. It often comes from repeated experiences of discrimination, invalidation, or feeling/being unsafe being fully yourself. These are real and cumulative stressors that impact how you see yourself and how you relate to others. In therapy, those experiences are not minimized or treated as secondary. They are central to the work. I use evidence-based treatments and adapt them to fit your specific lived experience, including approaches like Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET), which allows us to integrate both positive and painful experiences into a more complete and grounded sense of self. The goal is not just symptom relief, but helping you move through the world with more clarity, stability, and self-trust.

I have seen multiple gay and trans people and feel comfortable with encouraging people to stand up for their rights. This is especially important during this difficult time that we are going through.

LGBTQ+ Issues
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.

LGBTQ+ Issues
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.
