Anthony Canapi - Your Queer Relationship Therapist
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, AMFT
Being LGBTQPIA2S+ in a world that often misunderstands or marginalizes your identity can shape how you move through relationships, family systems, work, dating, and self-worth. You might be navigating coming out, cultural expectations, faith conflicts, chosen family, gender exploration, or simply the exhaustion of explaining yourself.
My work is grounded in LGBTQ+ affirmative psychology and lived experience. Therapy with me is not about defending your identity- it’s about deepening into it. Together, we’ll create space to unpack internalized messages, strengthen self-trust, explore authenticity, and build relationships that honor who you truly are. You deserve spaces where you are celebrated, not tolerated.

Dr. Sharareh Namjoo
Marriage and Family Therapist, Doctor of Psychology
LGBTQ+ individuals may face anxiety, depression, rejection, discrimination, family conflict, identity concerns, or pressure to hide important parts of themselves. Your identity is not a problem to be fixed; therapy should be a place where you feel respected, affirmed, and understood.
I provide a warm, nonjudgmental space to explore identity, relationships, coming out, cultural or spiritual concerns, trauma, and self-acceptance. Together, we work to reduce shame, strengthen boundaries, build resilience, and support a life guided by authenticity, dignity, meaningful connection, and pride in who you are.

Micha Noble, MA
Pre-Licensed Professional, AMFT
Much of my clinical training has been with the LGBTQIA communities. I specialize in helping clients navigate coming out experiences, anxiety, depression, trauma, and bereavement. I also recognize the ways societal oppression impacts marginalized voices. In therapy, we value creating a safe, warm, trusting environment where you will develop new insight into your life and cultivate new strategies to meet your goals. You are not meant to do this alone and we would be honored to help you along your journey!
