Catherine Bitney
Psychologist, PhD, LP
I have a passion for helping clients who are working on gender identity and sexual orientation - so that they can live more fulfilling, authentic, and happy lives. Many of my clients have stated that coming to therapy has helped to catapult them out of their stagnation - enabling them to reach their full potential. For clients who have had difficulty finding a therapist who can understand their complex and intersecting identities, I can be a breath of fresh air. I work with folks ages 15 and up.

I have been a member of the Seattle sex-positive community since the mid 1980s and have both lived and professional experience supporting my queer community.

Reclaim Counseling, PLLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LMHC
I work with trans, non-binary, and all manifestations of gender identities. I have a special connection to helping others who are struggling with identity because I have had to go through so many of my own struggles around identity in my life. The struggle around identity can be so confusing, isolating, and hard to put into words. And yet there is nothing more beautiful then when we are able to eventually re-write our narrative and reclaim our truth.

Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist committed to supporting the mental health and well-being of the LGBT+ community, my approach to treatment is rooted in cultural humility, affirming the diverse identities and experiences of each individual. Through a safe and inclusive therapeutic space, I provide affirmative therapy that validates clients' identities, experiences, and challenges they may face due to societal stigma and discrimination. Utilizing culturally competent and evidence-based approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), narrative therapy, and interpersonal therapy, I work collaboratively with clients to address concerns related to coming out, family acceptance, relationship issues, and identity exploration. Additionally, I advocate for social support networks and community resources to facilitate connection and resilience. My goal is to empower LGBT+ individuals to navigate life authentically, foster self-acceptance, and thrive in their identities.

Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
LGBTQ+ issues are ones which are close to my heart as I am a gay-identified man. LGBTQ+ individuals share many unique experiences due to their sexual orientation and gender identity. The symptoms that result from those experience are often more accurately understood by a psychologist who has shared in those experiences. This understanding facilitates greater affirmation and validation of your needs, along with designing a more effective approach to achieve your desired symptom relief. Helping people in our LGBTQ+ community is one of the primary reasons I decided to become a psychologist.

Bold Expressions Therapy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
As a member of the LGBT community, and as someone who holds degrees both in psychology and LGBT Health and Policy, I couple an academic understanding of the unique disparities that come with these identities with a profound personal knowledge of them in my own life. Not all patients have had positive experiences with the medical community, so it is my hope that my education and bisexual identity will serve my patients in a way that makes them feel both heard and seen. I also recognize that our identities can be static, or they can be fluid, and that the coming out process isn’t something we do just once: we do it over and over again. I do not personally identify as cisgender, and so I approach the issues facing the transgender, nonbinary, genderqueer, and gender non-conforming communities with deep empathy and personal understanding. From fluidity to transitioning, hormone replacement therapy, to writing letters for surgery, I am committed to supporting my clients on their journeys. Not everyone experiences their own gender in the same way, so the discussion of gender as a construct and societal gender norms is at the forefront of our discussions in working through the big mess that is gender.

Teona Amble
Psychologist, Ph.D., LP
Are you have issues with gender identity or gender transition? Do you need support while undergoing gender therapy? Do you need a safe place to talk through questions and stress around your sexual orientation and sexuality? I am here to be a non-judgmental support for you to process your feelings and thoughts and to figure out how to speak your truth and become more comfortable with your identity or taking time to figure it out.

Michelle Parrella
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Are you struggling to figure out your identity, be seen, and live your life authentically? Does the desire to be yourself bring feelings of anxiety, low self-esteem, and isolation? You want to stop feeling empty and disconnected. You want to feel comfortable in your own skin and live with purpose. It takes work to love yourself and trying to assert your identity can feel overwhelming. Feelings of low self-esteem and shame may be unconscious as a result of existing in a world that unjustly marginalizes you.
Anxiety, low self esteem and depression might show up for you as… Masking or shrinking yourself in social, familial, and/or professional spaces, Maintaining toxic relationships for the sake of “connection” or avoiding relationships altogether, Reliving trauma, whether from your past or through day to day microaggressions, Feeling isolated and excluded due to homophobia, transphobia, or gender-role stereotyping by others, Experiencing internalized homophobia as a result of systemic programming, lack of representation, oppression and heteronormativity.
With therapy you will stop living in the shadows of expectations projected onto you, be able to set healthy boundaries and create meaningful relationships with yourself and others. Together we’ll explore your identity, your values, increase your self awareness and build confidence to create connection and transform your life.

Stephanie Ennen
Therapist, LPC,LCPC, LMHC
I provide a safe and affirming space for individuals within the LGBTQ+ community to explore their identities, navigate personal challenges, and address the unique stressors that can arise from societal pressures, discrimination, and relationship dynamics.
In our sessions, we will focus on understanding and embracing your identity, whether you’re grappling with questions about sexual orientation, gender identity, or the coming-out process. I utilize an affirmative therapeutic approach that validates your experiences and fosters a sense of belonging and self-acceptance.
Together, we will address any feelings of anxiety, depression, or isolation that may stem from experiences of marginalization or internal conflict. I draw on techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness practices to help you develop coping strategies, enhance emotional resilience, and improve self-esteem.
Additionally, I emphasize psychoeducation, providing you with information about the complexities of LGBTQ+ identities and the impact of societal factors on mental health. This knowledge can empower you to advocate for yourself and build supportive networks.
My goal is to create a compassionate and inclusive environment where you can express your thoughts and feelings openly. Together, we can work towards personal growth, healthier relationships, and a deeper sense of authenticity in your life.
