Tim Eby-McKenzie
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
My experience with the LGBTQ+ community stems from working over a long period with clients and in personal relationships as a straight ally. Discrimination, rejection, implicit and pervasive bias, legal challenges and the long-term impact of never "belonging" are all just some of the detrimental impacts of simply being. My work with LGBTQ+ clients focuses on meeting the client wherever they are and providing support, encouragement, psycho-education, and other interventions to promote both healing and growth.

Mr. Jesse Whittle-Utter
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #79783
As a queer-identified therapist who has worked with the LGBTQIA+ community for my entire career, I offer a safe, informed, and empathic partnership in helping you heal and thrive. Trauma and the quest for happiness are nearly universal, but the unique challenges and minority stress that LGBTQIA+ people feel shapes our emotional lives in particular ways.

James Norwood
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist
I am a gay man and have always addressed my own experiences as well as others in the LGBT community with a great deal of curiosity. In addition to having explored a great deal personally and with friends, I have supplemented this more personal form of thinking with study throughout my post-graduate career, and feel well-equipped to accompany any patient as they confront questions around gender, sexuality, and identity.

Jeffrey Gianelli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I know what it is like. We still live in a world where sadly there is hatred and violence. Even if you've never faced this yourself, the fact that it is there can affect you on a deep level. Fortunately the world is changing, but we still have a long way to go. Many of us as LGBTQIA+ individuals struggle with issues like depression or anxiety, especially social anxiety, chronic feelings of shame or worthlessness. Perhaps we are misunderstood or have been made to feel less-than due to our gender identity or non-binary status. I am someone who can listen and understand, and help you get to the roots of whatever might be holding you back.

Corina Bair
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
As part of the LGBTQIA+ community myself, I am passionate about providing a safe, open-minded, and welcoming space for people of all backgrounds and identities. I have years of experience working with teens, young and middle-aged adults as well as family members of those who identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community. I thrive on helping others discover who they are and feel more empowered to be that person in every day life. Assisting my clients with building insight and understanding into your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors is an essential part of my therapy practice, and I provide evidence-based practice tools that you can use outside of therapy as well.
