LGBT Issues
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.

Leila Tabatabaee
Psychologist, PhD
I have been a part of and worked with the LGBTQIA community for decades. Each of our stories is unique. While sexuality and gender identity can be an important part of our journeys, they are also not the beginning and the end of them. I am confident in supporting you wherever you are in your journey.

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.

Ana Velouise, Perinatal Mental Health Specialist
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
The route to parenthood for LGBTQ+ families is layered and complex. Whether you are choosing to receive fertility treatment, have a surrogate, foster, or adopt, building a family as a queer person requires intention, resources, and targeted information.
In addition to the stress and bias that comes with engaging with heteronormative medical and legal systems, you may be navigating changes to your identity and relationships. I’m here to validate your concerns and experiences, collaborate with you to develop new coping skills, and notice the joys that come with expanding your love to include children.
