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!

Kristin Robert
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
I am a therapist who approaches this work with steadiness, depth, and respect for the complexity of being human. I bring nearly two decades of experience in the mental health and addiction field, including work in high acuity and relationally complex settings, which has shaped a grounded and thoughtful clinical presence. I am comfortable sitting with intensity, uncertainty, and contradiction, and I do not rush people toward solutions before there is understanding. My priority is creating a therapeutic space that feels emotionally safe, contained, and honest, where difficult material can be explored without fear of judgment or pressure to perform.
I do not see people as broken or deficient. I understand symptoms, patterns, and behaviors as responses that developed in context, often as ways of coping, protecting, or surviving. Over time, these responses can become limiting or painful, but they usually make sense when viewed through the lens of lived experience. Therapy, for me, is an opportunity to slow things down enough to understand what has shaped you, what feels misaligned now, and what continues to repeat despite your best efforts to change it.
My style is relational, direct, and collaborative. I value honesty over reassurance and clarity over quick fixes. I am engaged in the work and will offer reflection, perspective, and challenge when it is useful, while remaining attuned to pacing and readiness. I believe meaningful therapy requires both compassion and accountability, and that change is most sustainable when it grows from insight, agency, and choice rather than pressure or shame.
I work well with clients who are motivated to engage in foundational work and who are open to looking beneath the surface of symptoms or conflict. This does not mean you need to have answers or know exactly where to begin. It means a willingness to be curious, reflective, and honest about what is working, what is not, and what feels difficult to face alone. Therapy is not about becoming someone else. It is about reconnecting with parts of yourself that may have been silenced, protected, or lost along the way.
At its core, my work is guided by humanistic values and a belief in each person’s capacity for self understanding and meaningful choice. I do not position myself as an authority over your inner life. Instead, I see therapy as a collaborative process in which we work together to make sense of your experience and move forward in ways that feel coherent, intentional, and sustainable. I hold this work with care, seriousness, and humility, recognizing the trust it requires to invite someone into your inner world.

Chad Cryder
Psychologist, PhD
While it may seem odd to work with a psychologist online sharing your deepest concerns, feeling vulnerable, and laughing/crying over a computer or phone screen, it isn't that much different than talking with your best friend except we will stay focused on you. Won't that be nice? Online therapy offers you the flexibility to work with a great psychologist while not having to carve out a couple of hours from your busy life, wasting fuel driving to/from an office, and sitting in an uncomfortable chair in the therapist's office. Online therapy with Dr. Chad brings you the freedom to engage in deeply meaningful conversations in a convenient location for you while using secure HIPAA-compliant technologies like video, phone, and text to ensure your information stays private and secure. Best yet, you can live anywhere in California to work with me while we explore your reasons for psychotherapy.

Tara McGrath
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I help LGBTQIA+ people manage anxiety and improve their relationships and communication. Many of my clients are dealing with the after-effects of a religious upbringing. Most are professionals who are doing well in some areas of life, but struggle with things like boundaries, self-worth, and understanding their own feelings. I also love to work with people who are coming out later in life. I am queer-identified.

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.
