Suzanne Greene
Marriage and Family Therapist, JD, MA, LMFT, CCTP, CAGCS
Everyone has their own life struggles. Individuals and couples in the LGBTQ+ community seeking therapy often face unique challenges. These issues can include both internal and external stressors such as coming out, discrimination, family acceptance, feelings of exclusion, gender identity, isolation, relationship issues, sexual orientation, and simply finding your true voice. Using affirmative therapy, I will provide you with a non-judgmental and supportive environment, where you can freely discuss your emotions, thoughts, and explore new goals. This person-centered approach assists clients to become their most authentic and healthiest version of themselves.

Jeremi R McManus
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
I have supported hundreds of couples over the past 15+ years who are LGBT or navigating a partner coming out, and look forward to helping you get your relationship where you want it to be. Poor communication? Broken trust? Endless arguments? I look forward to hearing from you.

Fountain Dennis Yount
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Anything under the umbrella of LGBT issues can be challenging and many times traumatizing. I have many years of professional and lived experience in navigating these realities. These early experiences impact how we feel or do not feel safe in the world and that is something that we carry with us at all times. Finally feeling comfortable in your own skin can be the most healing and gratifying thing we can accomplish together.

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.

Juliet Baxter
Therapist, AMFT
I know how important it is to feel safe from judgment with your therapist. While I work with all members of the LGBTQ+ community, I specialize in working with people who identify as bisexual. The experience of bi-erasure and bi-phobia in both straight and queer spaces is a unique challenge particular to members of the bisexual community.

Dan Fink
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I am a cis-het man who has been working with LGBT folks for 15 years. I would never pretend to fully understand another person's experience, but I am a proud ally. I have spent the past decade educating other cis-het therapists about gender identity, sexual orientation, sexuality, and kink/bdsm.

Erik Edler
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LMFT
This is an important time for LGBT people, one of great opportunity but also one of great challenge. When gay, lesbian, and bisexual people are looking for a therapist, they're looking for someone who really gets them. It's so much easier and you cover a lot more ground a lot faster when you have a therapist that really understands the issues specific to the LGBT community. I have a special calling and dedication to helping gay, lesbian, and bisexual people truly thrive.

Heather Marriatori
Psychologist, PhD
Although your sexual or romantic orientation or gender identity may not be a source of distress, many find that the social stigma of living as a minority is a source of stress or anxiety. When seeking therapy, finding a qualified mental health professional who has experience and familiarity with the challenges members of the LGBTQIA community often face can be critical to successful therapy outcomes. You don't need to go it alone. Drop me a line and let's discuss how can work together to give you the meaningful life you deserve.

Eric van der Voort
Psychologist, PsyD, CST, CSWT
As a psychologist treating individuals of Gender, Sexuality, and Relationship Diversity (GSRD), my practice is inclusive of those of all genders, sexual orientations, identities, kinks, relationship structures, and behaviors between consenting adults. I provide stigma-free, affirming, high-quality individual therapy to those in the LGBTQ+ and GSRD communities. I am committed to helping you feel safe, valued, and deeply respected.
Could you use a safe space to talk about your thoughts, feelings, challenges, and goals? Maybe you’re feeling confused about your sexual and erotic identity and attractions. Perhaps you’re seeking relationship help from someone who understands the challenges, stigma, and discrimination you face. If you find yourself outside of the strictly heterosexual, cis-gendered, and/or monogamous boxes, then you’ve come to the right place! No judgments. Just an offer for a strong support system with a unique knowledge base and skill set to help you on your journey.
If you are seeking help from a GSRD-affirming therapist or an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist, call me today. I would be happy to speak with you about how therapy might be helpful in reaching your goals.

Follow Your Compass
Psychologist, PsyD
BIPOC LGBTQ+ are all welcome in our practice, with particular specialty of gender identity (trans*, nonbinary, gender fluid, and others). We have close relationships with endocrinologists (youth and adult), and 7 years of experience providing evalutions/letters for surgical intervention. We understand that the journey is multifaceted and each person's identity is unique, we trust that you are the expert on your life. We'll be there to help in accessing social support, community referrals (such as voice coaching, binder info, or mutual aid), and referrals for the family. Folx we work with will sometimes have a specific need, and other times prefer longer-term support in managing nuances of feeling comfortable living an authentic life.

Sarah Farnsworth
Pre-Licensed Professional, MFA, RPS
Being part of the LGBTQIA+ community has distinct challenges that permeate every facet of life, from interactions with strangers to the very core of our being. Concerns around intimacy, trust and safety are common, as is a real desire to discover the self in relation to gender, love and purpose. I offer a space where we can safely unpack these and other deeply foundational questions and explore their underlying structures within your unique and individual experiences.
