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.

LGBT Issues
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.
