I am a clinical psychologist with a Ph.D. and over 20 years of experience, specializing in ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma, and relationship dynamics among others. My approach integrates various therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), to ensure a personalized plan for each client. I work with individuals, couples, and families, offering both in-person and online sessions to accommodate your needs. My commitment is to foster a supportive environment where personal growth and healing can take place. Whether you are facing anxiety, stress, or relationship challenges, I am here to guide you on your path to well-being.

Melody Pinkney

I’m an LPC (M.A.) providing online, affirmative therapy for LGBTQ+ adults—gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans, and queer—navigating coming out, gender dysphoria, and identity. I also support complex trauma, C-PTSD, grief, pet loss, anxiety, depression, addiction, burnout, and self-doubt. Using CBT, motivational interviewing, mindfulness-based, existential, and trauma-focused approaches, we’ll gently quiet self-defeating patterns and build a grounded life that feels authentically yours.

Chaucee Stillman

I provide LGBTQIA+ affirming online therapy for teens and adults seeking a space where their identities, relationships, and lived experiences are respected without assumption or judgment. I work with concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, identity exploration, life transitions, chronic illness and pain, suicidal thoughts, and the effects of stigma or marginalization. My approach is person-centered, trauma-informed, and integrative, recognizing that identity may be central to what brings you to therapy, one part of a much larger story, or not the focus at all. Therapy is collaborative and individualized with room for you to define what well-being, growth, and meaningful change look like for you.

Z. Hamilton Avery

Your feelings are real and valid—you never need to apologize for how you feel here. While we can’t change the past, we can start exactly where you are today. You don't have to figure this out alone, you can start where you are today! I’d love to hear about what you’re going through.

I work with individuals across the gender and sexuality spectrum, with particular focus on gender dysphoria, coming out, and gay/bisexual identity exploration. My approach weaves together ACT, CBT, DBT, and mindfulness-based therapy within a deeply affirming, culturally competent framework—never one-size-fits-all. Clients come to me for a space where their whole personhood is respected, and for practical tools to build resilience, clarity, and self-compassion.

Jesenya Fields

As an LGBTQ therapist, my experience is one of creating a genuine, safe, and judgment-free space to affirm clients' identities and lived experiences. This involves using affirmative therapy to validate feelings, help clients explore their identity, and build resilience, while also recognizing that their LGBTQ+ identity is not necessarily the cause of all distress. The therapeutic alliance is strengthened by a foundation of cultural competence, understanding unique challenges like minority stress, and sharing in moments of empowerment to help clients navigate the world with more self-acceptance and confidence.

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and rooted in evidence-based practices, ensuring you feel seen, heard, and valued. I am committed to helping you develop self-acceptance, resilience, and the tools to thrive.

Dr. Stephanie Miodus

My work includes many different offerings and the common thread throughout is nurturance and trauma informed care. As a Black and Queer person in the field of mental health and wellness it is important for me to acknowledge the disproportionate access to support that  Queer and Black, Indigenous and People of Colour clients face when seeking mental health support. 

I currently provide virtual Psychodynamic Counselling and EMDR Therapy to individuals. This support can be time limited or open ended depending on the clients needs.

Much of my career has been rooted in community-based care. I spent eight years at the Los Angeles LGBT Center — the largest LGBTQ+ health organization in the world — where I deepened my commitment to affirming, culturally responsive therapy. I have also had the privilege of teaching at my graduate alma mater, Pepperdine University, and consulting on a range of mental health-related projects that continue to shape my approach to this work. My practice is grounded primarily in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), a framework I have found to be one of the most practical and effective tools available.
