Lakewood Therapists specializing in Gender Identity

John Cayer

Clients seeking therapy with me will find a warm, authentic approach combined with evidenced-based treatments to help achieve their goals and lead more satisfying lives. Whether you're struggling with sadness, worry, adjusting to new circumstances, or trauma from your past, we can work together to help you live your best life.

Taylor Palen

I enjoy collaborating with individuals ages teens through older adults to improve overall wellness for themselves and in their relationships. I specialize in issues surrounding anxiety, depression, the impacts of traumas, relationship difficulties, addictions or difficulty adjusting transitions in life.

Samantha Ardoin

I am a generalist and can work with most psychological issues and populations. However, the types of therapy that I practice, gestalt therapy and EMDR therapy, tend to be of most benefit to people who feel ready to gain a deeper level of self-understanding, willing to try movement or mindfulness exercises, and who are interested in moving beyond past trauma. I particularly love working with adults and teens who struggle with relationship issues, anxiety, depression, grief, identity, and trauma.

Lindsay Millspaugh

I specialize in couples therapy, but I also work with individuals and adolescents struggling with difficulties. Our symptoms are often responses to our past, or present, and although much of our lives are out of our control, I can help you find how to manage your relationship to your difficulties to live without suffering.

Shelby Nolan

You may feel like you keep finding yourself on the same path, no matter how many times you walk off. You may feel like everything inside is a knotted ball of yarn, mixed up and hard to follow. Or maybe you feel like you've run out of ideas on how to change or what to do. It's lonely, confusing, and frustrating to be in this position, like stumbling through a forest with no sun (or mountains!) to tell you which direction you're headed.

Alan Hale

If you grew up in a culture that viewed mental health as taboo, you may be feeling alone and hopeless. Know that you are not alone in your journey. I believe that people and relationships can thrive if given the proper support, nourishment, and environment. We are all given the same tools, but how helpful can it be if we were never taught how to use them? With some direction, non-judgement, and unconditional positive regard I believe people are capable of incredible things.

Chase Tucker

As a non-binary person, I understand the confusion and complication around gender in today's society. Being a non-binary therapist and exploring my own gender and learning the system, I can be here to help you learn your own gender, as well as all the confusing and different terms that are available to us when learning about our own identity.

Cathryn Wright

Do you feel disconnected from yourself and others, longing to feel known, safe, and whole? I take a holistic approach to support clients struggling identity development, relational issues, depression, meaning-making, boundaries, anxiety, sexual health and identity and spiritual integration. I respect and honor all identities and strive to create a safe and welcoming therapeutic space for all.

Allison McCue-Napoli

Using EMDR & other modalities, such a CBT, IFS & DBT, I work with adults, teens, and families, struggling with conflict, relationship issues, anger, depression, anxiety, divorce, domestic violence, gender identity, behavioral issues, family reunification, abuse, PTSD, or codependency. I am also a Child and Family Investigator (CFI).

Samantha Sitarik

Are you feeling shrouded in shame and confusion about your sexual desires or identity? Do activities that once brought feelings of closeness and pleasure now bring up loneliness and uncertainty? Sexual issues are completely normal, and you nor your partner are broken. My goal is to help you move towards feeling self-empowered and comfortable in your own skin. Everyone is deserving of happiness and inner peace, and I am committed to helping you find your voice!

Katharine Thompson

Therapy is a journey to walk alongside you, to help you create a life that has value and meaning. I recognize the importance of creating a familiar, comfortable relationship when establishing a therapeutic relationship, which is why I always prioritize building a connection and trust first. I am an EMDR therapist and specialize in trauma, anxiety and addiction.

Robert Allan

Adrian Lobb

My approach to therapy is creating a therapeutic space that is collaborative, authentic and respectful. I consider you to be the expert on your life and relationships. I am simply following along. Think of me a consultant, supporting you as you explore the possibilities and solutions already within you, your relationships and family.

Cheyenne Bellarosa

As a multicultural woman, I not only have personal experience with historical trauma, intergenerational trauma, and women's issues, but I also specialize in grief and loss, sexual assault/violence, suicidality, relationship issues, transitional difficulties, depression, anxiety, identity formation, and more. With experience serving ages 12-adult, I aim to create a safe space to explore an array of different obstacles within the human experience to leave the client feeling empowered and heard.

Karyn Resch Brackney

I work with adults (24+), young adults (18-24), and adolescents (15-18). I help clients with anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, trauma and PTSD, and life transitions. I provide fully affirming care for LGBTQ+ individuals. I offer support for parents of children of all ages. I help clients who struggle with anger management, and offer a 12-week anger management treatment program. I am supportive of spirituality and incorporating religious and faith backgrounds in counseling.

Elizabeth Morris

Clients come to me with a wide array of stressors and life challenges. No matter the season of life, I strive to create a comfortable environment that allows my clients to explore what the best version of them looks like; my hope is to collaboratively build a road map with them on how to get there. I have a relaxed approach that allows each client the opportunity to explore the symbolism behind the ways in which they view, interact, and experience the world.

Victoria Bernard

My clients come to me with a wide array of stressors, including anxiety, depression, panic attacks, childhood trauma, conflicts within their relationships, and identity exploration. No matter what you are dealing with, I strive to create a warm, inviting environment in which all of my clients feel welcome and safe to express their true selves. We will work collaboratively to establish treatment goals and process past experiences and current stressors.

Hunter Sawyer

The clients I journey with feel safe, honored, and respected when talking with me. In the midst of the heaviness that brings a potential client to therapy, I offer a steadying presence and consistency in listening to you as you try and better understand what is going on within your world. I will respect your story and experiences, while also gently challenging you at times to consider deeper reflections. Clients can also expect to gain more understanding of their own mind/body/somatic responses.

Maya Nath

My goal is for us to start this journey together and help you gain deeper insight, self-compassion, and healthier relationships with self and with others. The client knows themselves best, I look forward to connecting with you and exploring whether I am the right fit as you take this next step in your healing journey.

Sarah Claus

I work with adults across the board (all genders and ages). I work with couples and individuals. My clients are eager to figure out how to incorporate some alignment, some relief, and/or some compassion into their lives.
