LGBT Issues
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.

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.

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.

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.
