Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychoanalyst, Psychotherapist
As a fellow queer person, I offer a space where you can speak honestly about identity, desire, relationships, and belonging. You may have questions you have never felt comfortable asking, or experiences you are tired of having to explain. Our work can explore how family, culture, and the expectations of others have shaped what you feel allowed to want or express. There is room here to figure out what matters to you and how you want to live, without having to come in with all the answers.

Jennie Steinberg - feminist, queer-affirming therapist
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC, PMH-C
I am a queer-affirming therapist, and I’ve been working for 20 years with clients who identify as queer, gay, lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, asexual, transgender, nonbinary, poly, and kinky. I believe that there is magic across the entire gender, sexual, and relationship minority spectrum. My guiding principle is that if you aren’t harming anyone and you feel good on the inside, you’re probably doing okay. I support queer clients in navigating identity questions, coming out, navigating oppression, being misgendered, being outed, struggling with visibility in a heteropresumptive culture, intersectionality, reconciling privilege, the stress of having to play educator, navigating systems while queer, and navigating fraught family relationships. I also support queer clients in managing depression, anxiety, trauma, work stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, body image, parenting stressors, boundary-setting, self-esteem, self-compassion, managing anger – in other words, the same things I work on with my cishet clients, but in an affirming and supportive environment. For more information I can support you in all your queer glory, reach out. I look forward to hearing from you!

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.
