We believe that it is critically important to have mental health professionals who specialize in treating the LGBT community, especially in this part of the country.  

​

Transitioning:  We have worked with many people who identify as transgender. We have helped many people start hormones or prepare for surgeries.  We follow the guidelines and recommendations of the WPATH when determining if someone meets the criteria for gender dysphoria.  We are always happy to help someone feel more like themselves by transitioning.

Issues of Faith: Natalie Criss has a background working in Christian Ministry.

                 "I know that many people who identify as gay, lesbian, trans, etc, have a difficult time when it comes to religion and often feel a lot of rejection/trauma.  Being able to take a faith-based approach to counseling may be exactly what someone needs as they come to terms with their sexual orientation or gender identity. I am happy to provide that service on the clients' terms." - Natalie Criss
