Licensed Professional Counselor

MS, NCC, LPC

I provide affirming space to explore sexuality and gender identity and to process how that may be implicated in relationships with family, friends, intimate partner violence, and sexual trauma. I enjoy working with genderqueer, non-binary, gender-fluid, and gender-nonconforming folks and provide letters to support gender-affirming related care access.

My work in this area leans on both both academic training and lived experiences. As a non-binary human who has long worked to overturn gender roles, I am deeply supportive of both trans and nonbinary clients. I've worked with a wide variety of individuals, and have helped to address concerns ranging from dysphoria and coming out, to the invisibility of passing post-transition. I'm here to support you in becoming authentically you, and at home in your body.

Our experiences of gender, especially for queer, trans, and non-binary folks, are most often complicated by the world and communities around us. I work to remove barriers to obtaining gender-affirming care and support gender-expansive clients in self-love and discovery in the process of understanding our gender(ed/less) experience. I look forward to witnessing and supporting you on this often wonderful, sometimes painful, nearly always rewarding process of unearthing your most authentic self!

As a nonbinary therapist, supporting folx in exploring their gender identity is some of the most rewarding work that I do. I want you to feel empowered to show up as your whole self, regardless of the context. Let's work together to unpack the blocks to expressing yourself more fully.

Navigating our gender identity can be layered with confusion, influenced thoughts or feelings from society, parents, or ourselves. Therapy can aid in navigating to understanding your gender identity to feel more at ease and comfortable while you become the self you want to be.

I help clients to embrace their identities through coming out, social and medical transition, & more.

Emily Lichtenberg (They/them)

Student Counselor

I see the process of exploring one’s gender identity as a continuously unfolding internal process of discovery and reflection. What may resonate today may change over weeks, months, or years. While that’s my understanding of gender, I am more interested to know what your understanding of gender and gender identity are. Each person builds a relationship with their gender identity differently, and each person comes to a different end. I am here to support you and your unique path.

Emaline Friedman (she/her)

Kendyl Watts (she/her)

I am deeply sensitive to the unrelenting challenges faced by those who have been assigned a gender that conflicts with their lived experience.

Nicole Kammerlocher (she/her/hers)

As a queer person, it is important to me to create space in my practice to serve my community. Gender is a unique and complicated space, and no two people's process around their gender identity will look the same. Throughout my training, I have focused on working to apply what I have learned to help people navigate gender.

Working with the trans community is an intimate and complex dynamic as we shift through how you navigate the world with this identity.

Leslie Yeargers (she/her)

Licensed Marriage Family Therapist

LPC, LMFT, Certified Sex Informed Couples Counselor

Being transgender or non-binary presents a unique set of personal and social challenges. Simply stated, our society has not caught up with what it means to identify as a gender other than the one you were assigned at birth. When a family member transitions, it can put a strain on family dynamics. To that end, I support all family members in the transitioning process to build understanding and deepen familty connection.

Liz Ward (they/them)

Licensed Marriage Family Therapist

LMFT

Gender is a complex and nuanced spectrum of experience. It is different for everyone, and worth examining to understand what your unique gender experience looks like. Exploration of gender identity is for everyone - you don't have to be transgender to explore your gender identity!
