Pronouns: she.they You are the expert on your queer experience, and I am here to explore it with you: Maybe you: + Are looking for support in exploring your queer identity + Need support figuring out how to come out to your loved ones or community + Want to process your trauma related to your queer experience, such as trauma from bullying, rejection or estrangement + Have been out for a while and are comfortable in your identity, but just don't want to have to explain the whole queer thing to a therapist while exploring other topics in therapy All of this and more is welcome here. I'm Angela, a queer identified trauma therapist who specializes in supporting highly sensitive and empathic members of the LGBTQIA+ community. Wherever you are in your queer journey, I'm here to help you to better understand your past, and help you release the weight of your trauma and life's challenges so you can move forward. To help you reach your therapy goals, I combine Compassionate Inquiry (a somatic therapy approach), IFS (parts work), and an intersectional social justice lens. Some days you may be interested in doing more of a deep dive, and other days you may just need a space to process out loud. I'm here with you at your desired pace each time we meet! I take a relational approach in working with my clients, meaning I bring my own humanity into the room in order to connect with you on a human to human level. Together we can help you to deepen your self awareness and bring more self-compassion to your experience.

As a queer, trans, or non-binary person, do you feel isolated, depressed, or anxious? Have you been through something confusing, scary, or painful that you are trying to understand, and are struggling to move past? Do you feel like you lack a sense of belonging? Experiences, changes, and shifts within your life might have caused you to feel or engage in behaviors that may be unlike yourself. I believe that in order to feel at ease and live authentically, we need to heal our wounds. Sometimes this can be scary, and together we can unearth your full potential to help you move forward. I specialize in supporting the highly sensitive and empathic members of the LGBTQ+ and transgender community who may also have people-pleasing or perfectionistic tendencies. I enjoy connecting on a human level to help you explore your gender identity, sexual orientation, and process trauma and grief, so that you can live life more authentically. Through talk and somatic therapy techniques, we can work together to bring awareness to your mind, body, and spirit. Together, we can change thought patterns that may be holding you back from feeling joy and continue the healing process. Feel free to check out my website, www.gnecenter.com, for more information and to set up a free consultation phone call to connect!

It is my honor to help you on your journey. My role is to be supportive in helping you develop your goals for therapy including what it will look and feel like to be done. Each person is the expert of their life and I can aid in showing possible patterns of when things might have gone a little off target. I like to provide people with options for deciding what they want to work on and how they want to heal. It is my utmost concern to provide a safe place to experiment with those options and decide if they are successful or need some redirection. In general, everyone should have the opportunity to enjoy their life and to feel good about their life and relationships.

We all go through periods in which we begin to feel and think differently. What we once assumed would always be true changes. Perhaps, we simply no longer feel like ourselves or are relationships no longer feel like how we remember them. A variety of things can initiate these changes. Our marriage may not be working. Someone may leave a relationship. We may lose our job. Our child may be making dangerous choices. Someone we love may be drinking too much... But no matter the circumstance, the key is in how you cope with these changes. For over two decades, I've been helping people just like you navigate these types of changes. My job as a licensed psychotherapist is to make sure you can talk about, work through, and overcome the issues that matter most, without judgment, all while feeling respected, heard, understood, and empowered to create the changes you seek. While clients often leave sessions feeling relieved, the most important part of our work together is the time you're not in session with me. If you have sessions with me once per week, how you are feeling and thinking the other 167 hours we're not together? The goal of our work together is for you to NOT be dependent on sessions with me as soon as possible. You can also ask me any questions and I'll share my thoughts with you. I'm not one of those therapists who "just sits and listens" ... I will offer you suggestions to navigate the challenges you are facing and you can decide if what I am saying is of value for your particular situation. I'll also teach you the skills you need to calm yourself down, whether you're angry, sad, or afraid. And we'll work together to get to the root of the problem so you can heal at the deepest level, as this is how to create real, positive, lasting change... My intention is that you walk away able to navigate change differently for the rest of your life! Last but not least... Please note that I only provide online counseling and therapy. Fortunately, my clients have been surprised by how well tele-therapy works... and how easy it is! After all, it's our working relationship that allows change and growth to occur, not the comfort of my office. Your privacy is always my highest priority, and I encourage you to visit my website or contact me today for more information about how I can help you realize and live the best life possible!

Hi! Time to change something? I'm Adrian. I absolutely love this work and am energized by it. Many of my clients tried just about everything before deciding that therapy was their best solution. Making changes in our lives and getting clear on what we need to change can be very difficult. Psychotherapy can help you let go of subconscious patterns and beliefs that aren't working for you. And changing our assumptions about the world and improving our relationships can result in profoundly positive change and a life worth celebrating! As a therapist I help clients determine and make what changes they'd like, and help them do so as quickly and easily as possible. Not that change is easy. It rarely is. But when you're serious about change, the benefits of therapy far outweigh the work involved. So, when you're ready to create change -- be it resolving depression or anxiety, improving communication skills, parenting, saving or enhancing a marriage -- I'm here to help. I wish you the best in whichever direction you take and, if you pick me to work with, I look forward to speaking with you.

Best wishes, Cheers, - Dr. Shani Robins

My passion in therapy is working with couples and relationships. I have studied mostly a differentiation based model for couples therapy following the work of David Schnarch, Terry Real, Ellen Bader, and Jennifer Finlayson-Fife. I have done some training in both the Crucible Method approach and Relational Life Therapy. Through my training I can help clients get out of gridlock, strengthen their relationship and create true intimacy.

I work with adults navigating depression, anxiety, or trauma—often rooted in relational or family dynamics. In our initial sessions, we'll begin by gently exploring how these experiences are stored in your body, recognizing that your nervous system holds key insights about your emotional and physiological state. Together, we’ll create a therapeutic plan that prioritizes safety, regulation, and connection, helping you regain a sense of balance and agency. Through a polyvagal lens, we’ll focus on fostering a felt sense of safety in your body, allowing for gradual shifts in your nervous system. We will untangle what's weighing you down, reconnect with yourself, and create the changes that help you grow, heal, and discover what truly matters so you can live a life that feels more satisfying and grounded. This is your space of self-exploration in a co-created relationship. Having a compassionate witness on your journey is truly what begins the healing process.

I had a client say to me, I've been taking meds for years, why am I still struggling? It's because you're treating symptoms. Think about it. If I ask you to define your problem, you will give me a list of symptoms. Treating symptoms is like putting band-aids on something that needs stitches. I am passionate about helping people find satisfaction in their life. It's not true that you have to stay depressed, anxious, addicted for your entire life. The truth is, in life if you want to be healthy you live life based on principles and not based on your feelings. Anxious, addicted, depressed people make decisions based on their feelings, and they cycle in chaos. How many of your decisions in life are you making based on your feelings? Do you feel more stable or less stable because of it? When we are unhealthy, our emotions are a roller coaster and our daily life rides the coaster of our emotions. When you are unhealthy, you won’t feel like stepping out of your emotions. If you're depressed, you feel like isolating, and if you do, you get worse. If you do the opposite of what you feel by hanging out with family and friends and doing something productive, I guarantee you you will not feel like doing it and after you have done it you won't have enjoyed it. But at a minimum, you will not have gotten worse. If you live by the healthy principles of life and address the roots of your mental health condition, you will get better and your emotions will be more positive and stabilize, recalibrating to the way that you are choosing to live. Are you tired of the same old same old? Call me, let’s talk. Whether you are an individual or a couple or a parent wanting to help your child, I work with every issue and I’ve been around the block a while. My goal for you and your family is to get you in and out of treatment as quickly as possible.

Therapy occurs within the context of a specialized therapeutic relationship (a unique type of helping relationship that is formed with your therapist to address problems). I focus on creating safety and trust through a nurturing, non-judgmental, and highly confidential environment while using a variety of approaches to help you make changes. I match the problem to the type of therapy most helpful for that particular problem using methods ranging from cognitive behavioral to psychodynamic or depth therapy. Often I mix several of these approaches, at times emphasizing one and then another, depending on the specific situation. Using this approach, my clients have reported tremendous benefits. Some have made remarkable changes while grappling with very difficult issues.

I believe that most people coming to therapy are looking for similar things: to have someone truly listen, validate their experience, acknowledge what they've been through and what they're facing now, and give them some helpful suggestions on how to get to the other side of their challenge. My goal is to meet people where they are emotionally, provide a supportive, nonjudgmental atmosphere, and help people navigate their way through painful experiences. I think that growth and healing take place faster when a person has someone they trust to walk alongside them rather than having to walk the path alone. And, that's exactly what I am here to do. I draw from a variety of therapeutic modalities, and customize my treatment based on the specific needs of each person coming in. I deeply believe in collaborating with each client to help determine the type of approach that will help facilitate change and create a sense of empowerment in one's circumstances.
