LGBT Issues
Philip Cooke
Psychologist, PhD
Providing LGBT-affirming psychotherapy and assessment services has been a core part of my training, research, and clinical practice for the past 8 years. My doctoral research and post-doctoral fellowship focused on the psychological well-being of queer men and LGBTQ-affirmative health care. I continue to teach in graduate programs and provide consultation on working with LGBTQ-identified individuals and couples. I have substantial expertise in the psychological effects of discrimination, the intersection of race and gender/sexuality, identity exploration, ethical nonmonogamy, psychosocial and medical gender transition, queer men’s issues, and queer relationship concerns.
As a clinician, my practice has consistently focused on the needs of queer people, particularly those who may be on the margins of the LGBTQ community, including trans and nonbinary folx, non-monosexual people (e.g., bisexual, pansexual), queer people of color, and polyamorous and non-monogamous individuals and relationships. I work to understand the effects of other identities (race, class, ability, age, etc.) on my patient’s concerns and tailor treatment accordingly.

Jean Castle
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Professional Counselor MA, LPC
The LGBTQIA+ community faces mental health issues and unique challenges, in addition to daily stressors, at higher risks than other sections of our society and this is done often without support from the people they most want support from. Having familiarity and experience with orientation/identity is a must for successful therapy outcomes and a level of comfort with a therapist who has experience with community issues eases the process. The rapidly changing situations in our society results in even greater oppression, discrimination, and wellbeing issues. Being authentic and having a sense of self sometimes is met with pressures that lead to mental health concerns. Providing a safe, judgement free space to explore all the concerns and life challenges is what I offer.

Dr. Alexavery Hawkins
Psychologist, PhD
As a non-binary queer therapist, I enjoy working with the LGBTQIA+ community and providing affirming, quality care. I help LGBTQIA+ individuals and couples navigate conflict, gender/sexuality exploration, and communication issues while they work to build a healthy, sustainable connection with themselves and others. I also aim to support queer and trans folx who are looking to heal from disconnection or trauma and find affirming peer relationships or resources in the community.
