Dr. Ingrid Solano
Psychologist, PhD
I am a member of, and advocate for, the LGBTQIA+ community. I am proud to provide affirming therapy and I have expertise in working with the experiences of sexual and gender minority individuals, and couples using CBT, DBT, and the Unified Protocol for emotional disorders. Together we can explore the impacts of coming out, internalized stigma, minority stress, intersectionality, discriminations, difficult family-of-origin relationships, giving and receiving support, families of choice, intimacy, sex, gender/sexual fluidity, identity, transitioning, and so much more. Together we can navigate the challenges of living in an oppressingly heteronormative world in order to form a healthy and affirming queer identity. Or, we don’t explore it at all - but we remain aware that they are out there and remain mindful. I am also proud to consider and provide capacity evaluations and letters of support for my transgender clients seeking gender affirming surgery.
I practice from an affirming, feminist, and anti-racist philosophy. This means that I unconditionally accept and value my clients’ gender, sexual, racial, cultural, and other identities. My practice takes into account each person’s unique experiences within contexts of social and systemic oppression, and the impact on your relationships. I practice from a place off cultural humility and allyship to black, indigenous, and other people of colour.
I have expertise in treating relationships and individuals navigating the impact of minority stress and discrimination. I practice affirming therapy that explores greater awareness and understanding of the ways in which emotional experiences and responses to experiences contribute to what is going on for you and your relationships. Navigating these challenges in your life has promoted strength and resilience in coping, paving the way for creative and successful approaches for managing future challenges. I help clients see these strengths in themselves, and create harmony and balance in their lives. I bring a stance of genuine curiosity and cultural competence that includes your different identities and their intersectionality.

Tim Eby-McKenzie
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
My experience with the LGBTQ+ community stems from working over a long period with clients and in personal relationships as a straight ally. Discrimination, rejection, implicit and pervasive bias, legal challenges and the long-term impact of never "belonging" are all just some of the detrimental impacts of simply being. My work with LGBTQ+ clients focuses on meeting the client wherever they are and providing support, encouragement, psycho-education, and other interventions to promote both healing and growth.

Samer Fawaz
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., AMFT
As a gay man living in Los Angeles for over twenty years, I have experienced the challenges of cultivating and maintaining a genuine sense of self while being bombarded with body image issues, homophobia, gay shame, and the hyper-sexualized competitive nature of the gay community. As gay men, our sexual currency can sometimes become the focus of how we see and place value on ourselves. This can lead to addiction, self-loathing cycles, self-harm, anxiety, and depression. I am passionate about helping you dismantle what society, and the gay community has led you to believe about yourself. Together, we will get to the root of what makes you feel centered, authentic, and grounded. I am highly invested in creating a judgment-free space for you to feel safe to talk about anything you feel is relevant to your growth.

Eric van der Voort
Psychologist, PsyD, CST, CSWT
As a psychologist treating individuals of Gender, Sexuality, and Relationship Diversity (GSRD), my practice is inclusive of those of all genders, sexual orientations, identities, kinks, relationship structures, and behaviors between consenting adults. I provide stigma-free, affirming, high-quality individual therapy to those in the LGBTQ+ and GSRD communities. I am committed to helping you feel safe, valued, and deeply respected.
Could you use a safe space to talk about your thoughts, feelings, challenges, and goals? Maybe you’re feeling confused about your sexual and erotic identity and attractions. Perhaps you’re seeking relationship help from someone who understands the challenges, stigma, and discrimination you face. If you find yourself outside of the strictly heterosexual, cis-gendered, and/or monogamous boxes, then you’ve come to the right place! No judgments. Just an offer for a strong support system with a unique knowledge base and skill set to help you on your journey.
If you are seeking help from a GSRD-affirming therapist or an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist, call me today. I would be happy to speak with you about how therapy might be helpful in reaching your goals.

Michelle Parrella
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Are you struggling to figure out your identity, be seen, and live your life authentically? Does the desire to be yourself bring feelings of anxiety, low self-esteem, and isolation? You want to stop feeling empty and disconnected. You want to feel comfortable in your own skin and live with purpose. It takes work to love yourself and trying to assert your identity can feel overwhelming. Feelings of low self-esteem and shame may be unconscious as a result of existing in a world that unjustly marginalizes you.
Anxiety, low self esteem and depression might show up for you as… Masking or shrinking yourself in social, familial, and/or professional spaces, Maintaining toxic relationships for the sake of “connection” or avoiding relationships altogether, Reliving trauma, whether from your past or through day to day microaggressions, Feeling isolated and excluded due to homophobia, transphobia, or gender-role stereotyping by others, Experiencing internalized homophobia as a result of systemic programming, lack of representation, oppression and heteronormativity.
With therapy you will stop living in the shadows of expectations projected onto you, be able to set healthy boundaries and create meaningful relationships with yourself and others. Together we’ll explore your identity, your values, increase your self awareness and build confidence to create connection and transform your life.
