LGBTQ+ Issues
Megan Anderson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Therapist & A Couch is a space rooted in the belief that every part of you belongs. Many people who walk through my door are navigating their gender identity or sexuality or have a loved one who identifies as LGBTQIA+. These struggles often point to deeper questions about connection, authenticity, relational patterns, choices, and meaning.
No matter the story someone arrives with, the diagnoses they may carry, or the identities they may hold, we begin with the core human experiences that connect us all — our wishes, fears, wounds, conflicts, patterns, walking contradictions...our messiness. Within these places live the quiet truths that shape who we are. Together, we gently sift through what’s been heavy so you can feel lighter, freer, and more whole.

Riley Brennan
Marriage and Family Therapist, ALMFT
As a queer person, I enjoy working with members of the LGBTQIA+ community in individual, relational and family work. I honor the authenticity clients bring to the space and take care to recognize the systems of oppression that threaten queer safety and joy.

LGBTQ+ Issues
Dr. Amana Carvalho
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I specialize in LGBTQ issues, including transgender healthcare. My approach is affirming and inclusive. Therapy provides a safe, supportive space for clients to explore gender identity and/or sexual orientation, romantic relationships, and experiences of Minority Stress without judgment. As an affirming therapist, I validate clients' identities, help them navigate challenges like discrimination, coming out, or family rejection, and support mental health and self-acceptance. This approach fosters empowerment, resilience, and personal growth.

LGBTQ+ Issues
Dr. Amanda Malak
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist
With special attunement to providing support to LGBTQ+ individuals, I helppeople navigate challenges related to identity, coming out/letting in, relationships, and societal pressures. I support improving communication skills between family members with various belief systems fostering healthy relationships and developing coping strategies to enhance overall well-being. I offer a safe space where people can explore their feelings, choices, build self-acceptance, and address any concerns related to gender and sexual orientation. My approach includes using evidence-based therapies, such as CBT, to help manage issues like anxiety, depression, or discrimination that may arise. I specialize specifically with LGBTQ+ people from conservative backgrounds like conservative Muslims, Mormons, Christians, and many people from the Global South/Majority. Navigating these cultural dynamics adds a complexity that those from more progressive families and cultures may not understand.
