LGBTQ Issues

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

Sexuality is fluid. And our limited view in this culture is also extremely oppressive. This is one of the things I talk about openly and will encourage you to explore in our work together.

I am committed to the ongoing healing and empowerment of the LGBTQ communities, each with their own attributes and traumas. As a gay cis white male, I'm committed to using my privilege to help others heal and grow. As a sex therapist, I train to offer therapy tailored to the LGBTQ community through an anti-oppression, empowerment lens. I'm particularly interested in helping clients to embrace one's identity, address bi-erasure, and dismantle racism in LGBTQ spaces.

Not only am I a member of the community, I have served members of LGBT+ community in most every environment I have worked. I have acted as the LGBT Special Emphasis Program Manager at a federal government agency. I have sat on Indiana University's Transgender ECHO program as a hub member where other professionals and community members attend to grow their knowledge about this special population. I started a Mental Health and Substance Use Program at the largest HIV/AIDS organization in IN.

I value all forms of diversity and am passionate about providing care for the places where your identity, ways of being, and desires have placed you at odds with majority culture.

Working with LGBTQIA+ relationships, identities, transitions and queer explorations requires the ability to listen deeply, not only to the experiences and narratives of the clients in my office, but the experiences, struggles and stories of survival and thriving that are common to those who live beyond the margins of heteronormativity. I have been working with queer communities and issues since the 1980's. You will never have to educate me not will you have to hide who you are in my practice.

Every therapist at my practice is affirming and informed in LGBTQ+ issues and culture I identify as a bisexual person but did not come out until I was older, due to going to school in a small, rural, highly conservative town. My personal experience lead me down a path of wanting to help others in our community. We work with same sex couples, gender and/or sexual identity exploration, gender affirming surgery letters, poly couples, sex/ kink positive and informed, asexuality/ aromatic, etc.

I have significant experience working with individuals who identify as LGBTQ+

In my psychotherapy practice, I provide LGBTQ+-affirming mental health care, with a focus on addressing depression, anxiety, and trauma within the community. My services include individual, couples, and group therapy, tailored to meet the unique needs of LGBTQ+ individuals. I offer a compassionate and supportive environment for clients to explore and address the challenges they may face.

As a queer lesbian therapist, I am committed to serving my community. We deserve to thrive.

Throughout her undergraduate and graduate career Courtney focused a portion of her studies on Human Sexuality and Education, including a graduate level study aboard of LGBTQ Health Promotion in the Netherlands.

I have personal and lived experience inside this community. I have experience helping others discover the beautiful varieties of queerness that they carry inside of themselves.

, I offer compassionate support for those within the LGBTQ+ community. This includes navigating challenges related to sexual orientation, coming out, dealing with discrimination, and building healthy relationships. My goal is to help you embrace your authentic self and thrive in a society that may not always understand or accept you.

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 value all forms of diversity and am passionate about providing care for the places where your identity, ways of being, and desires have placed you at odds with majority culture.

I am a member of, and advocate for, the LGBTQIA+ community. I am proud to provide affirming therapy. I have expertise in working with the experiences of sexual and gender minority individuals and couples using CBT, DBT, and the Unified Protocol for emotional disorders. We can navigate the challenges of living in an oppressingly heteronormative world in order to form a healthy and affirming queer identity. Or, we don’t explore these at all...

We employ gender expansive staff members to support people experiencing dysmorphia, transition, bullying, and other issues related to the LGBTQIA community.
