Mariah Dancing
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, ATR
I have enjoyed working with many queer and trans clients over the years and appreciate the struggles of belonging to a marginalized and oppressed community while navigating the rest of life's challenges. I support peoples' rights to seek to affirm their gender identity in the ways that they choose to do so.

Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychotherapist, Psychoanalyst
As a queer therapist, I believe in creating a safe and affirming space where individuals can explore their identity, navigate societal pressures, and address mental health concerns within a relational and psychoanalytic framework. My approach emphasizes the importance of understanding the complex interplay between individual experiences, relationships, and societal expectations.
By exploring the unconscious dynamics that shape our identities and relationships, we can gain a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by individuals in the LGBTQ+ community. This may involve examining themes of internalized homophobia, family dynamics, and societal discrimination. Through this process, individuals can develop a stronger sense of self, build healthier relationships, and live more authentic lives.

Ana Velouise, Perinatal Mental Health Specialist
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
The route to parenthood for LGBTQ+ families is layered and complex. Whether you are choosing to receive fertility treatment, have a surrogate, foster, or adopt, building a family as a queer person requires intention, resources, and targeted information.
In addition to the stress and bias that comes with engaging with heteronormative medical and legal systems, you may be navigating changes to your identity and relationships. I’m here to validate your concerns and experiences, collaborate with you to develop new coping skills, and notice the joys that come with expanding your love to include children.

Erik Edler
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LMFT
This is an important time for LGBT people, one of great opportunity but also one of great challenge. When gay, lesbian, and bisexual people are looking for a therapist, they're looking for someone who really gets them. It's so much easier and you cover a lot more ground a lot faster when you have a therapist that really understands the issues specific to the LGBT community. I have a special calling and dedication to helping gay, lesbian, and bisexual people truly thrive.
