Noopur Shah

My clients are vibrant folks; queer and trans kids/adults of color.

Tori Cherry

Many of my clients express a deep longing to be known, but a simultaneous fear of being seen for who they are. Maybe you wonder how you got here: monitoring every bite of food that goes into your mouth or constantly checking your body in the mirror. You may have a lot of external markers of success and most people would have no idea how lonely and overwhelmed you feel inside and how hard it feels to get through the day.

Nathan Schuyler

I have a passion for working with those confronting uncertainties around their sense of identity and how they express themselves. These uncertainties may stem from issues related to gender identity and sexuality, difficulties with body image, or feeling lost in the transitional stages of life. I also deeply value understanding the unique background of every individual and how the intersectionality of various identities impacts the equally unique nature of everyone's lived experiences.

If you're ready to embark on this journey of self-discovery and transformation, I'm here to walk alongside you every step of the way. My work is inclusive of all people - when working with me, you can expect a safe space free of any judgement based on your profession, age, race, gender, sexuality, or any other identities you hold.

James Gomez

As a proud Latino and member of the LGBTQ+ community, I am passionate about providing support for those who are marginalized in our society. Additionally, I am knowledgeable and affirming of kink/BDSM, non-monogamy, and sex work. My counseling approach considers the unique intersections of identity that we all hold while honoring the truth of each person’s lived experience. I strive to be genuine, non-judgmental, and unconditionally supportive no matter what a client bring into session.

Sylvester Merritt

My emphases are addressing mental health of marginalized groups, and understanding how culture should be respected and acknowledged in the therapeutic space. As I continue to work on obtaining my doctorate in psychology, my interventions and approach to treatment informs me how to customize the therapeutic space for each client and praise our differences while promoting inner healing. Creating emotional space and showing the power of it helps my clients narrate their lives once more.

Charlie Blim

I provide counseling to adults and adolescents, helping them navigate issues like anxiety, depression, self-esteem, body image, and sexuality or gender identity development. With a deep passion for and experience working with diverse communities—including the queer community, neurodivergent individuals, and those in non-monogamous/kink communities—I strive to create an inclusive space where all feel welcomed and understood.

Sarah Malavenda

In my work with individuals, I support those looking to address anxiety, stress management, trauma, gender, sexuality, and sex. As someone who lives with a chronic illness, I also personally understand the complexities of navigating the healthcare system. In my work with couples, I work with folks looking for support with relationship issues within monogamous and consensually non-monogamous relationships. I’m also passionate about meeting the unique needs of neurodiverse and LGBTQ+ couples.

Jennifer Macias

I help clients work through PTSD, anxiety, executive dysfunction, relationship struggles, family dynamics, self esteem, and kink and poly relationship issues. I like using warmth, compassion, curiosity, humor, and a lot of hand gestures to connect with my clients and establish a safe, trusting therapeutic relationship.

Evelyn DeLorenzo

As your therapist, I build on our overlapping or shared experiences as much as I welcome people in all walks of life. I facilitate a space for LGBTQ+, gender-expansive, neurodivergent, and consensually non-monogamous folks exploring their identities, emotion management, difficulties in interpersonal dynamics, and being an agent of change. I am excited to work with people of all genders, gender expressions, and sexual orientations.

Online Therapy

Dale Roberson

My experience with clients tend to be adults between the ages of 18-65, across the racial, gender, and sexual orientation spectrum; I work with individuals, couples, and occasionally facilitate a DBT Skills Group. I hold space for those who’ve felt like outsiders—whether due to trauma, race, queerness, or a combination of underserved or historically excluded identities. As a queer, kinky, poly Black man, my own lived experience brings an extra layer of understanding to my work.

Online Therapy

Rachel Pallmeyer

As the expert of your own experience, you deserve to be listened to and understood. I intend to hold space for all aspects of your unique identities. Everyone faces challenges and obstacles in the world. For many of us, these barriers are the result of systemic oppression. In therapy, we can explore how your thoughts, feelings, and motivations are influenced by these external forces, and how you can navigate them authentically, while centering your inherent capacity and resilience.

Daniel Westheimer

I have experience working with individuals that are a part of the LGBTQ+ community and have experience working with clients who are neurodivergent, working to operate in a neurotypical society. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, acute & complex trauma, identity exploration, life transition issues, career changes and relational issues.

Do you find yourself asking, "Why am I ______ (feeling/ thinking/doing) this?" I want to work with you to identify the needs that your feelings, body, patterns and behaviors are trying to express to you to bring you a more fulfilled life (whatever that looks like).

I love working with gender diverse adolescents, queer and questioning folks, and young adults navigating life transitions. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed by their responsibilities and disconnected from their communities.

Kyla Dannelke

When I first meet with people, some of my first questions I might ask are: - What made you hit the "Search therapists" button? - Do you have difficulty making decisions? - Feel stuck or lost when it comes to your direction in this busy life you've got going on? - Do you feel like things are just simply, unmanageable? I want my clients to feel at home in my office and talking to me about all of these questions, the way you feel comfortable talking to your closest friends and confidants.
