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.

Dr. Walter J. Matweychuk
Psychologist, Ph.D.
When bias and discrimination are part of a person's problems, I show them how not to anger themselves and then how to address the prejudice and discrimination constructively. In cases where people are shameful about their sexuality, I teach them how to unconditionally accept themselves and never to shame themselves for who they are and what they like both sexually and non-sexually.

Reclaim Counseling, PLLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LMHC
I work with trans, non-binary, and all manifestations of gender identities. I have a special connection to helping others who are struggling with identity because I have had to go through so many of my own struggles around identity in my life. The struggle around identity can be so confusing, isolating, and hard to put into words. And yet there is nothing more beautiful then when we are able to eventually re-write our narrative and reclaim our truth.

Maria T. Alonso, Ph.D.
Psychologist
In my work with LGBTQ+ individuals in psychotherapy, I strive to create a warm and supportive environment where clients can explore and embrace their authentic selves. I understand the unique challenges they may face, such as issues related to gender identity, sexual orientation, navigating relationships, and experiences of discrimination. By using a compassionate and non-judgmental approach, I help clients address these concerns while affirming their identity and experiences. I custom tailor therapy to meet each person where they are at, recognizing and valuing their individual history and circumstances. Whether it's processing feelings of uncertainty, building self-esteem, or developing strategies to handle discrimination, my goal is to support clients in living fully and confidently as their true selves, empowering them to build meaningful and fulfilling lives.
