Wheaton Therapists specializing in LGBTQ Issues

Joy Walsh

It always amazes me the complete turn around clients can do with the tools they already have, they just needed to discover, reorganize or sharpen a few things. Clients who typically seek me out are looking for a therapist who specializes in trauma, perinatal or postpartum issues, women's issues, anxiety or who can help support them in a significant life transition. I am excited to offer you a space to heal, learn and feel you are not alone.

Are you struggling with anxiety or panic attacks? Are you having challenges with sleep, racing thoughts, or feeling on edge? Is it hard for you to say no and stand up for yourself? Do you feel like you can’t express your needs in relationships? If life feels overwhelming, therapy can help you to feel confident in your decision making ability and empowered to set boundaries that work for you. You can assert your needs without feeling guilty.

Do you find yourself asking, "Why am I ______ (feeling/ thinking/doing) this?" and then feeling much worse as if shame would work this time? I want to work with you to identify the needs that your feelings, body, patterns and behaviors are trying to express to you to bring you a more fulfilled life (whatever that looks like).

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.

Amy Springer Robinson

Maybe you have been living with depression and anxiety or feeling outcasted in life for as long as you can remember. Perhaps you're an adult who was recently given or self-diagnosed as neurodivergent. You could be an individual or couple seeking out new ways to build and maintain healthy intimacy or looking to explore your varying personal and sexual identities. No matter what brings you to therapy, I firmly believe that human connection is at the center of each of our lived experiences.

Amy Markley

When your relationship is suffering, you're suffering. Sometimes, incredibly so. Maybe the person you used to feel so close to now seems more like a distant stranger. Maybe a betrayal has left you outraged and alone. Maybe all the fighting and miscommunication makes you wonder at times what you ever saw in your partner at all. My clients are couples, individuals and families who want to love each other more fully and strengthen their bonds.
