Russell Wilkie
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
Most LGBTQIA+ people have been subjected to ignorant and hurtful opinions – or worse, down right abuse. I have been bullied myself, so I have a passion for helping people work through this kind of trauma. The judgement, discrimination, rejection, or outright aggression can be crushing. Having a person deeply understand this and give you solutions can be extremely helpful and soothing. In addition to these and many other unique issues, you likely also have everyday issues in relationships, or depression or anxiety and I’m hear to help with those too.

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.

Jeffrey Gianelli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I know what it is like. We still live in a world where sadly there is hatred and violence. Even if you've never faced this yourself, the fact that it is there can affect you on a deep level. Fortunately the world is changing, but we still have a long way to go. Many of us as LGBTQIA+ individuals struggle with issues like depression or anxiety, especially social anxiety, chronic feelings of shame or worthlessness. Perhaps we are misunderstood or have been made to feel less-than due to our gender identity or non-binary status. I am someone who can listen and understand, and help you get to the roots of whatever might be holding you back.

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.

Mariah Dancing
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, ATR
I have enjoyed working with many queer and trans clients over the years and appreciate the struggles of belonging to a marginalized and oppressed community while navigating the rest of life's challenges. I support peoples' rights to seek to affirm their gender identity in the ways that they choose to do so.
