Dan Fink
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I am a cis-het man who has been working with LGBT folks for 15 years. I would never pretend to fully understand another person's experience, but I am a proud ally. I have spent the past decade educating other cis-het therapists about gender identity, sexual orientation, sexuality, and kink/bdsm.

Leila Tabatabaee
Psychologist, PhD
I have been a part of and worked with the LGBTQIA community for decades. Each of our stories is unique. While sexuality and gender identity can be an important part of our journeys, they are also not the beginning and the end of them. I am confident in supporting you wherever you are in your journey.

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.

Damon Dodge
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Some situations are unique to the LGBTQ+population, such as dating someone of the same sex, transitioning genders or coming out. Other times, common symptoms like depression, anxiety and low self-esteem are present and connected to one’s LGBTQ+ identity. Everyone has his/her/their own personal story and experiences life differently. For any LGBTQ+ people seeking therapy, having a therapist who can see and understand all aspects of the one-of-a-kind person you are is essential. Whether you are working through LGBTQ+ specific themes or universal human challenges in a LGBTQ+ context, I am prepared to serve you.
