Michelle Parrella
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Are you struggling to figure out your identity, be seen, and live your life authentically? Does the desire to be yourself bring feelings of anxiety, low self-esteem, and isolation? You want to stop feeling empty and disconnected. You want to feel comfortable in your own skin and live with purpose. It takes work to love yourself and trying to assert your identity can feel overwhelming. Feelings of low self-esteem and shame may be unconscious as a result of existing in a world that unjustly marginalizes you.
Anxiety, low self esteem and depression might show up for you as… Masking or shrinking yourself in social, familial, and/or professional spaces, Maintaining toxic relationships for the sake of “connection” or avoiding relationships altogether, Reliving trauma, whether from your past or through day to day microaggressions, Feeling isolated and excluded due to homophobia, transphobia, or gender-role stereotyping by others, Experiencing internalized homophobia as a result of systemic programming, lack of representation, oppression and heteronormativity.
With therapy you will stop living in the shadows of expectations projected onto you, be able to set healthy boundaries and create meaningful relationships with yourself and others. Together we’ll explore your identity, your values, increase your self awareness and build confidence to create connection and transform your life.

Peter Gould
Psychologist, Ph.D.
As a licensed clinical psychologist, I offer compassionate and effective treatment for members of the LGBTQ+ community. My approach, guided by evidence-based therapies, is tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual. Coming out is a deeply personal and transformative experience that can significantly impact mental health, often leading to emotions such as anxiety and depression. Addressing these mental health considerations is crucial for ensuring a supportive and healthy journey.
Individuals may struggle with feelings of isolation, difficulty revealing their true selves to family members, and defending their identity. My expertise extends beyond the coming-out process to include support for those who feel unsupported in their personal lives. I focus on helping clients feel more comfortable living authentically, navigate experiences of rejection, and gain a deeper understanding of their sexuality.

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.
