Shira Collings
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
As a queer, nonbinary woman myself, I greatly enjoy supporting other members of the LGBTQIA+ community in exploring their sexual orientation and gender identity, navigating the process of coming out, and building relationships with people who are accepting and affirming of them. I have experience co-facilitating a therapy group and support group for trans individuals as well as supporting those who are pursuing gender affirming medical care.

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.

Dr. Caroline Hicks
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Sexual orientation and gender identity development are my areas of focus, and we use this space to make sure all intersecting identities (e.g., racial, religious, political, national) are considered as you find your authentic path in the world. This space is one where we can focus on your sexual orientation and/or gender identity development, or use these identities as a source of context to our work. In addition, I work with many trans*, non-binary, gender nonconforming, gender fluid, and other gender expansive folx as they embark on their path of congruence. In addition, I write letters of support for gender affirming surgeries/medical procedures.

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.
