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.

Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychotherapist, Psychoanalyst
As a queer therapist, I believe in creating a safe and affirming space where individuals can explore their identity, navigate societal pressures, and address mental health concerns within a relational and psychoanalytic framework. My approach emphasizes the importance of understanding the complex interplay between individual experiences, relationships, and societal expectations.
By exploring the unconscious dynamics that shape our identities and relationships, we can gain a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by individuals in the LGBTQ+ community. This may involve examining themes of internalized homophobia, family dynamics, and societal discrimination. Through this process, individuals can develop a stronger sense of self, build healthier relationships, and live more authentic lives.
