Do No Harm

The purpose of this site is to educate not condemn. I am tolerant. All of my patients – regardless of their social and sexual backgrounds – have the right to informed consent, self-determination, and compassionate, non-judgmental care. I reject coercive therapy and repudiate all forms of harassment, abuse and violence against those with same-sex attraction (SSA). However, I refuse to celebrate unhealthy behaviors – and the behaviors associated with SSA are unhealthy. Re-orientation therapy is an ethical option for those who struggle with unwanted SSA.
