Kate Winderman
Psychologist, Ph.D., LP
Working with members of the queer community has always been at the heart of what I do as a therapist. I have over a decade of experience of working with members of the queer community in therapy, and have helped folks through all sorts of issues that impact our community in unique ways (e.g., coming out, coming in to oneself, family issues, religious trauma, minority stress and discrimination, internalized homophobia, intersection of other marginalized identities, and more). My goal is to provide a safe and affirming space for sexual and gender minorities to feel free to be their most authentic selves in the therapy room.

Dr. Megan Marks
Psychologist, PhD
Finding a therapist who truly gets it can be hard—especially if you’ve spent too much time explaining or editing parts of yourself to feel safe. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I know how much it matters to have a space where you don’t have to explain your existence—just your goals.
I work with LGBTQ+ adults navigating identity exploration, relationships, chosen family, workplace dynamics, religious trauma, and the deep emotional toll of living in a world that too often questions your worth. Right now, the political climate is not just unsettling—it’s harmful, especially for trans and gender-diverse folks. You deserve a space where your identity is not only affirmed but protected. At The Momentum Practice, therapy is a place to exhale, reconnect, and move forward with more clarity and strength. I offer support for the full spectrum of your experience—from anxiety and perfectionism to workplace stress and burnout. When requested, I also provide letters for gender-affirming medical care, always with warmth, respect, and zero gatekeeping. With over 15 years of experience, I help clients move from self-doubt to self-trust, and from feeling stuck to feeling more aligned, empowered, and whole. You deserve a therapist who sees you, celebrates you, and journeys beside you. You matter—and I’m so glad you’re here. Contact me for a free 15 minute consultation!
