Omer Harari
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I approach therapy as an anti-oppressive project. In my work supporting LGBTQ+ clients, in addition to identifying and managing the impacts of traumas, patterns, beliefs and narratives, we focus to identify the specific impacts of homophobia, transphobia, gender binaries, and other power structures that contribute to marginalization.

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.

Dr. Jag Soni
Psychologist, Ph.D., HSPP, PCC, SPHR, SHRM-SCP
Navigating LGBT Issues, identity, or the stressors of a misaligned social environment requires a therapist who understands the nuances of the LGBTQIA2S+ experience. Drawing on 35 years of evidence-based practice, I provide a high-level, affirming space to explore your authentic self and address the root causes of minority stress. We work to foster the internal shifts that allow you to live with pride and mental clarity, moving past the weight of societal expectations. In a private and secure Telehealth setting, I am ready to support your journey—contact me to schedule your first appointment.
