Dr. Mike Abrams
Psychologist, PhD, MBA, ABPP
I was among the first psychologists to volunteer to counsel with people with AIDS beginning in 1986. In addition, my years of collaboration with people of all sexualities and gender identities have encouraged me to strongly view all sexualities as equally valid. However, I also understand that one's sexual and gender role plays a major role in the therapeutic process. I understand and have conducted research on the unique therapeutic needs of people with sexualities that are often marginalized.

Institute for Personal Growth
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
We were founded in 1983 as a primarily LGBTQ+-oriented practice. Many of our therapists are members of the LGBTQ+ community themselves, all of them are LGBTQ+ affirmative, and we are LGBTQ+-owned. Many also specialize in working with transgender and gender non-conforming clients, as well as other sexual minorities, like members of the BDSM, kink, and polyamory communities.

Brielle Layden
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
It is my sincere belief that everyone is entitled to a safe, supportive space. Many of my clients are transgender, gender non-conforming and nonbinary, and LGBQ+ identified adult individuals. I work with my clients to understand and explore how their presenting problems (ie anxiety, depression, self image) are influenced by gender identity and sexuality.

Kimberly J. Chandler
Pre-Licensed Professional, PhD, PLPC, LAC
LGBTQIA+ mental health isn't a one-size-fits-all model. Queer BIPOC individuals navigate a complex tapestry of systemic oppression, discrimination, and marginalization, which can significantly impact mental health and well-being. The queer community is twice as likely to deal with depression, anxiety, and suicidal behavior due to stigma, prejudice, family rejection, harassment, and a host of other struggles. If you are suffering, please know you are NOT alone! You do not have to suffer in silence. Call or email to request a FREE Phone Consultation today! Let's work together to develop the tools you need to create the life of freedom and joy you deserve!

Christina Andino
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
In my practice, I specialize in LGBTQIA+ and transgender affirming therapy, deeply committed to providing a nurturing environment where individuals within these communities feel understood and validated. I recognize the diverse challenges and experiences that come with navigating identities in a society that may not always offer full affirmation or understanding.
Therapy becomes a sanctuary, offering a safe space for LGBTQIA+ individuals to explore their identities, confront internalized shame or stigma, and develop resilience in the face of societal pressures. With a client-centered approach, I honor each individual's unique journey, acknowledging the intersectionality of their identities and the richness of their experiences.
