Katherine Rabinowitz
Licensed Psychoanalyst, LP, M.A., NCPsyA
The world is changing. At least the part of it that we live in. Some of you may be troubled by the sexual orientation you've come to realize is part of you. It's not bad or good, right or wrong, it's just who you are. There will be people who can't accept that. Possibly your family. Possibly the religion you are or were a part of. But there is every-increasing awareness that being who you are is not an "illness" that needs a cure. It's an acceptable lifestyle (and one you didn't choose - it's in your DNA), and therapy can help you accept yourself, love yourself for who you are, and to deal with those in your life who can't or won't accept you for who you are. Life is still good, and will be better once you work through the issues that stand in your way.

Dr. Walter J. Matweychuk
Psychologist, Ph.D.
When bias and discrimination are part of a person's problems, I show them how not to anger themselves and then how to address the prejudice and discrimination constructively. In cases where people are shameful about their sexuality, I teach them how to unconditionally accept themselves and never to shame themselves for who they are and what they like both sexually and non-sexually.

Damon Dodge
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Some situations are unique to the LGBTQ+population, such as dating someone of the same sex, transitioning genders or coming out. Other times, common symptoms like depression, anxiety and low self-esteem are present and connected to one’s LGBTQ+ identity. Everyone has his/her/their own personal story and experiences life differently. For any LGBTQ+ people seeking therapy, having a therapist who can see and understand all aspects of the one-of-a-kind person you are is essential. Whether you are working through LGBTQ+ specific themes or universal human challenges in a LGBTQ+ context, I am prepared to serve you.

Today, more than ever, those identifying as LGBTQIA+ need support and understanding from a skilled clinician familiar with the joy and challenges of living true to one's identity.
