Samer Fawaz
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT #149147
As a gay man living in Los Angeles for over twenty years, I have experienced the challenges of cultivating and maintaining a genuine sense of self while being bombarded with body image issues, homophobia, gay shame, and the hyper-sexualized competitive nature of the gay community. As gay men, our sexual currency can sometimes become the focus of how we see and place value on ourselves. This can lead to addiction, self-loathing cycles, self-harm, anxiety, and depression. I am passionate about helping you dismantle what society, and the gay community has led you to believe about yourself. Together, we will get to the root of what makes you feel centered, authentic, and grounded. I am highly invested in creating a judgment-free space for you to feel safe to talk about anything you feel is relevant to your growth.

Eric van der Voort
Psychologist, PsyD, CST, CSWT
As a psychologist treating individuals of Gender, Sexuality, and Relationship Diversity (GSRD), my practice is inclusive of those of all genders, sexual orientations, identities, kinks, relationship structures, and behaviors between consenting adults. I provide stigma-free, affirming, high-quality individual therapy to those in the LGBTQ+ and GSRD communities. I am committed to helping you feel safe, valued, and deeply respected.
Could you use a safe space to talk about your thoughts, feelings, challenges, and goals? Maybe you’re feeling confused about your sexual and erotic identity and attractions. Perhaps you’re seeking relationship help from someone who understands the challenges, stigma, and discrimination you face. If you find yourself outside of the strictly heterosexual, cis-gendered, and/or monogamous boxes, then you’ve come to the right place! No judgments. Just an offer for a strong support system with a unique knowledge base and skill set to help you on your journey.
If you are seeking help from a GSRD-affirming therapist or an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist, call me today. I would be happy to speak with you about how therapy might be helpful in reaching your goals.

Timothy Weymann
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (L.C.S.W.)
I provide affirming, inclusive therapy for LGBTQ+ individuals in a space where your identity is respected, valued, and celebrated. Navigating life as an LGBTQ+ person can bring unique joys and strengths, as well as challenges such as stigma, hurtful family dynamics, discrimination, identity exploration, or coming out. My role is to offer a safe, supportive environment where you can speak openly without fear of judgment or misunderstanding. Together, we explore the concerns most important to you—whether that’s anxiety, depression, relationship issues, identity exploration, minority stress, or building self-acceptance. I integrate research-based approaches tailored to your individual needs, while honoring the cultural and personal context of your experience. Therapy with me is collaborative, warm, and empowering. You deserve care that affirms who you are and supports you in building a life and relationships that feel authentic, connected, and fulfilling.
