Anthony Canapi - Your Queer Relationship Therapist
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, AMFT
Many people come to therapy feeling stuck, whether that’s navigating the dating landscape, relationship dynamics, identity exploration, or patterns that no longer serve them. You might be wondering how to show up as your authentic self, how to build deeper connections, or how to navigate intimacy and vulnerability in a world that doesn’t make space for who you are. Therapy can be a place to slow down, reflect, and create new possibilities.

Kayzim Suárez-Reyes
Psychologist, PhD
Trauma likes to pop up at the most inopportune times. If you're experiencing guilt after overreacting to a triggering moment, or just the challenge of co-occurring ADHD, ASD, and trauma/mood disorders, I can help! If you have no idea what you have or what is happening, I have the tools to help you figure it out. It can be so hard to find someone who understands what you are going through and offers non-judgmental guidance. I know because I've also had therapists, and it took a while to find them. Getting correctly diagnosed is also tricky. It's why I also offer comprehensive psychological evaluations for differential diagnosis. ¡También se habla español!

Tim Eby-McKenzie
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
90% of the work I do with people is online. It has been an effective and convenient way for people to connect with me, without the burden of travel. I also do in-person EMDR intensives that are 1-2 full-day sessions in the Healdsburg office, based on interest and availability.

KT Glusac
Counselor/Therapist, AMFT, APCC
I hold psychotherapy as a devotional practice. In the weekly ritual of therapy, I hold space for a creative and playful exploration of the psyche. Through a continuous commitment and recommitment to presence and curiosity, we open the way for the unknown to be transformed into meaning. This opening is a portal into intergenerational healing work, where energy can return to us as we reconnect with our roots and unearth our true Selves.
I approach couples therapy relationally, much like my individual therapy work. With couples, there’s already an existing relationship in the room, which allows me to gradually integrate into that sphere of trust and alliance. By relational work, I mean utilizing the relationships present in the room and focusing on the “here and now” to help couples recognize patterns and connect them to their origins in the “there and then.” In my work, I create space for warmth and humor, which serve as resources for clients during more challenging conversations.
I have dedicated myself to working at the intersection of social and spiritual liberation. My studies in the Integral Counseling Psychology program at the California Institute of Integral Studies have supported me in this orientation through a lens of depth psychology. My experience in community mental health settings has trained me to meet my clients with cultural humility, equipping me with liberation psychology and healing justice frameworks. My previous training as a birth worker helps me to conceptualize the work of therapy as a practice of birthing that which seeks to be born.
We all deserve to return to the feeling and experience of belonging — to ourselves and our bodies, to our communities and the world around us. In our practice, you will be witnessed as you recover what was lost and uncover what feels new. Being trauma-informed, our work together will flow at the pace of safety and trust. I am here to guide your awareness toward the body, as you feel ready, so that you might better understand its messages for you, hearing its wisdom. It would be an honor to accompany you on this journey, as we devote ourselves to this healing work together.

10 Years Experience
Online in San Diego, CA (Online Only)
San Diego's identity as a major military and biotech hub creates dual demand for therapists specializing in veteran trauma and PTSD on one hand, and the high-functioning anxiety and burnout of the life sciences industry on the other. The city's large active-duty population at Naval Base San Diego and Camp Pendleton means therapists with military specialty training are consistently sought after, and many practices are specifically oriented toward service members and their families. San Diego's border location and large Latino population drive demand for bilingual therapists and culturally affirming care for immigrant and mixed-status families. Scripps Health and UC San Diego Health provide institutional mental health anchors across the county.
