Pamela Pine
Therapist, Ph.D.
I strive to not make assumptions, but to listen to you with an open mind, to respect you and your feelings, to be sensitive yet objective and flexible, honest, and direct. My challenge is to craft a treatment specifically for you and your unique needs and to keep you clearly in my focus.

Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychotherapist, Psychoanalyst
As a fellow queer person, I offer a space where identity can be explored slowly and honestly in the therapy room. Our work will pay attention to the unconscious ways your history, culture, and lived experiences shape how you understand yourself in the world. Therapy becomes a place to make meaning of what has been carried quietly, soften internal conflict, and move toward a way of living that feels more authentic.

Oliver Drakeford
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CGP
As a gay therapist providing LGBTQ+ affirmative therapy in Los Angeles and West Hollywood for nearly a decade, I understand firsthand the unique challenges and strengths within our community. My specialized training in LGBTQ+ issues allows me to create an inherently affirming space where clients can explore identity, navigate coming out, address minority stress, and heal from experiences of rejection or discrimination without having to educate their therapist. Located in the heart of West Hollywood—where over 40% of residents identify as LGBTQ+—I offer both in-person and online therapy throughout Los Angeles, addressing everything from internalized homophobia and relationship dynamics to substance use and the lingering effects of growing up in a heteronormative world. Having worked at the Los Angeles LGBT Community Mental Health Center and trained extensively in LGBTQ+ affirmative approaches, I help clients move beyond survival mode to build authentic, fulfilling lives where their identity is celebrated rather than merely tolerated. My West Hollywood practice serves as a sanctuary where LGBTQ+ individuals throughout Los Angeles can process trauma, strengthen relationships, and develop the resilience needed to thrive in their truth.

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.

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.

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.
