LGBTQ Issues

I identify as a gay, cis male. This allows me to provide compassion and awareness of LGBT/Queer issues in the counseling session and the counseling experience as a whole.

I think the most important thing about my approach with LGBTW+ issues is this: I don't claim to be an expert on your experience as an LGBTQ+ identifying person. I can draw from my own experience living as a queer woman in 2024, and I can draw from the many trainings I have completed.... but ultimately, you are the expert on your life. Let's talk, and let's team up to come to some solutions that can positively impact your life. I'm excited to put our heads together and sort things out!

As a Queer therapist who works largely with Queer folks, I provided an affirming and knowledgeable space for you to process identity questions, get support and validation, and generally exist with the knowledge of being seen.

Queer clients to the front! Let me support any type of queerness you want to bring to the table. I work with individuals, teens, couples, polycules....I love all things LGBTQ+ and can meet you where you're at.

When there is a lot going on in life, many people find it hard to cope with the added oppression felt in a world that is not fully accepting of their identities. You don't have to fear being your full, honest, authentic self. As a queer clinician, I know how important it is to create an accepting, identity affirming space where clients can bring their whole self and no longer have to hide parts of themselves. There is nothing wrong with you, the problem is in how the world mistreats you.

As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community i am passionate about helping others build a sense of community and form a strong self identity

I have worked for many years with the LGBTQ+ community, helping people with coming out, family issues, relationship issues, HIV/AIDS, aging, self-esteem, sexual issues, sexual compulsivity and addiction. I am sex positive and BDSM/kink friendly.

Whether it's coming out, working through family dynamics, sex related concerns or even insecurities about entering into a community that is loving and supportive but sometimes emotionally taxing, there is a need to work through these emotions appropriately and effectively. Together we can discuss and problem solve issues related to being in the LGBTQIA+ community.

LGBTQ+ issues related to coming out, trans, curious, relationships, coping with prejudice, family issues, and trauma.

I affirm all LGBTQ+ identities, providing a safe, inclusive, and validating environment where individuals can come into their identity and grow. I work with clients around identity development, coming out, relational struggles, and societal barriers using a strengths-oriented perspective. At the core of my practice is empowerment, which helps individuals to live authentically while attending to mental health concerns, oppression, and personal struggles.

I've been working in the HIV and LGBT communities for over 20 years. I have a deep understanding of the challenges and strengths inherent in all of these communities.

I dedicate most of my career to working with LGBTQ+ clients and continue my supplemental education and trainings on these topics. I am also an openly queer therapist with lived experience!

I'd like to think I've had a part in "queering" psychology and see myself as working to continue that process. While I have always had some LGBTQ+ colleagues, existing structures and unspoken rules in our profession subtly reinforce heteronormative structures and outcomes. I am passionate about working with queer people in affirming ways, but also training other providers, educators and colleagues to view queerness not only as normative, but transcendent.

All folks on staff are queer identified and have participated in training based on the needs of this community.

As a queer clinician, I strive to be a resource and affirming support for members of the LGBTQ+ community at any stage of the identity development process, as well as navigating discrimination, family estrangement, and cultivating community supports.

Reaching a point of celebration of your LGBTQIA+ identity is quite a journey that usually takes many years and deep introspection. (If it's been easy for you, high fives.) I'm a queer therapist who has been on that journey myself, and who has at many points in my career been in the role of educating others on issues facing queer folk. Whether you're questioning your identity, newly out, or just want a therapist that understands this part of you... hey :)

With extensive experience in LGBTQ healthcare, I, Dr. Daniel Roa, provide informed, sensitive care. My expertise encompasses addressing unique mental health challenges, hormone therapies, and advocating for LGBTQ rights within the medical community. I'm committed to creating a safe, affirming space for all.

Sometimes you might need support in exploring/accepting your identity, coming out, or pursuing transition. But sometimes you don't. So many trans clients tell me they might need to talk gender at some point, but right now they just need a good therapist who can help with trauma, anxiety, or depression and they don't want to have to explain or defend their identity. Gender-affirming therapy means that we operate from a place of compassion, curiosity, and celebration of who you are.

I am a trans masculine queer who has worked in LGBTQ+ health for four years. I am experienced working with issues related to stigma, discrimination, sex kink, gender identity, coming out and gender exploration and transition. I writer pre-surgical assessments for gender affirming surgery.

I provide affirming support for LGBTQ individuals navigating anxiety, identity exploration, and life transitions. Together, we create a space where you can process your experiences without judgment. Using ACT, DBT, and mindfulness-based approaches, we work on building resilience, self-acceptance, and strategies to manage stress. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, confident, and connected to what matters most to you.
