Highland Park Therapists specializing in LGBTQ Issues

Osvaldo Alcaraz

Maybe you’ve been exploring your queerness, questioning whether you might be neurodivergent, or facing internal conflict between how you identify and its intersectionality with your familial, cultural, and/or religious values. Perhaps you’ve experienced religious trauma and are looking to incorporate religion back into your life. No matter what you find yourself navigating, I’m here, I’m queer, and I’m glad you found me.

Erin Conley

I am comfortable working with clients who are seeking help for stress, anxiety, depression, loss, or trauma. I have extensive experience working with relational, systemic, and complex trauma as well as LGBTQ+ identified individuals. I have worked with many people who are experiencing chronic health conditions and/or systemic or interpersonal harm.

Brenda Reavis

My clients tend to be Black and Brown folx, the LGBTQIA community, and college students, though individuals from all walks of life are welcome into my therapy space. Some of my specialties include working with race-related stress and trauma, relationship concerns, building self-esteem and self-confidence, reconnecting to ancestral wisdom, and healing from past traumas. Clients who struggle with difficult families, relational anxieties, and self-betrayal/mistrust often find their way to me.

Hannah Rosenblatt

I work with clients who are highly driven, goal-oriented, and set exceptionally high standards for themselves. Many of them find themselves in a constant cycle of going above and beyond for others, often at the expense of their own needs. Together, we explore the unique and valid reasons behind these patterns and how they can show up differently in both personal and professional environments.

Christopher Manvel

A meaningful, authentic client-therapist relationship is of utmost importance to me and I strive to create safe and welcoming spaces for all by fostering an environment of empathy, openness and honesty. Clients who see me receive compassionate care without negative judgment, creating opportunities to make meaning of the events of their lives. My ideal clients are queer individuals seeking support in navigating religious trauma and reconciling issues of faith and sexuality.

Ali Siewert

Being human is often tough. Sometimes we lose our way and can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes we would like to change parts of our lives or ourselves but don’t know how. Therapy can be an empowering way to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Often, we initially seek treatment to address a specific concern and then begin to uncover other areas of our lives in which we want to make meaningful change. My goal is for this process to feel supportive, affirming, and appropriately challenging.

Ren Grabert

I am especially passionate about working with LGBTQIA+, non-monogamous, kinky, and neurodivergent folks. As a chronically ill person myself, I love helping folks to manage chronic illness/pain and self-advocate within healthcare systems. My areas of focus include helping people to build self-esteem and self-efficacy, to build tools to navigate neurodivergence in adulthood, and to identify core beliefs and needs so that they can live life more authentically.

Brianna Boyd

I love working with gender diverse adolescents, queer and questioning folks, and young adults navigating life transitions. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed by their responsibilities and disconnected from their communities.

Online Therapy

Amy Bicknell

When we feel most overwhelmed and stressed, we often find it difficult to prioritize what we value most. Our interests, our commitments, and the relationships most important to us often suffer when we are suffering and struggling to show up. Therapy can offer us a space to reconnect with ourselves, and find a sense of peace and calm, allowing us to move closer to the people and areas of our lives we want. Therapy can help us enjoy life again the way we once used to.

I am passionate about working with BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and gender-expansive clients. If you are seeking a place to work through depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues, body image issues, or general "stuckness," I am here to provide a safe, judgment-free environment for you to explore your capacity for healing and growth.

Sumara Baig

The majority of my professional career has been focused on BIPOC individuals, people on the LGBTQIA2+ spectrum, young people who were considered “at-risk” of high school drop-out, professionals, artists, and survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence. I enjoy working with adults and adolescents alike.

Anna Fredrick

Are you going through a life transition and need support with managing all the changes going on in your life? That might be changes in school, work, family, parenting or relationships. Or even a quarter-life crisis spent navigating new and old relationships. I'm here to support you in processing these changes as well as recognizing your own strengths to draw from during periods of change. I believe that everyone needs someone to support them - and challenge them - to get through these times.

Mia Dal Santo

Are you someone who is looking for help or support in your non-traditional relationship structure or sexuality? Are you struggling to feel seen or heard in these identities? As a relational therapist, I recognize that our connections with others are the basis of both the greatest struggles and the greatest rewards we can know. I desire to work with people who are seeking to flesh out their sense of identity and strengths, and through doing so, relate to others more authentically and skillfully.

Matthew Seger

I have clinical training and experience in navigating issues stemming from complex PTSD, religious trauma, neurodiversity, gender identity exploration, and men’s issues. I also find that I work particularly well with the artistic and creative types; those who value expression in any of its forms.

Stef Stone

I specialize in working with members of the LGBTQIA2S+ community who are looking to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships. Many of my clients come to therapy to process grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, impulse control, gender identity, sexuality, and sexual health.

Kyla Dannelke

When I first meet with people, some of my first questions I might ask are: - What made you hit the "Search therapists" button? - Do you have difficulty making decisions? - Feel stuck or lost when it comes to your direction in this busy life you've got going on? - Do you feel like things are just simply, unmanageable? I want my clients to feel at home in my office and talking to me about all of these questions, the way you feel comfortable talking to your closest friends and confidants.
