Farzana Rahman
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC-D
Having worked for a decade, I have supported clients through the nuanced and demanding areas of interpersonal stress, major life transitions, identity exploration, and the long-lasting impact of early adverse childhood experiences. I hold particular care and awareness towards the cultural, relational, and systemic forces that shape a person’s sense of self. I feel especially attuned to how family histories and early attachments influence adult relationships, therefore, I often invite clients to explore identity, unlearn old narratives, and build relationships that feel grounded and authentic. My unique, yet collective experiences as a child of immigrant parents and a South Asian woman allow me to recognize how family expectations, cultural identity, gender identity, and other parts of ourselves are important in the therapy work.

Liberation Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
Many of the people I work with are insightful, capable, and used to being the strong one—but inside, they feel overwhelmed, lonely, or unsure how to change the patterns they keep repeating. Therapy with me is not about quick fixes or surface-level advice. It’s about creating a space where you can be fully seen and understood while we gently and honestly look at what isn’t working and why. My style is warm, direct, and deeply relational. I help people understand their emotional patterns, attachment wounds, identity questions, and relationship dynamics so they can live with more clarity, self-trust, and freedom.

Paula Kirsch
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CST
Some things are hard to say out loud. Maybe you've never quite found the words, or the right person to say them to. Maybe you've been carrying questions about your body, your desire, your relationship, or who you are, quietly and for a long time.
You don't have to do that here.
I'm Paula Kirsch, Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Sex Therapist, and I work with women navigating sexual health concerns, LGBTQ+ individuals and couples, and people in ENM and kink-engaged relationships. Not as a specialty I added on, but as the heart of my practice. I understand your world, your language, and the particular weight of the things you may have never said to anyone.
Whatever you bring into this space, I'm not going to flinch, rush you, or hand you a formula. We'll sit with it together and figure out where to go from there. That's the work, and I genuinely love doing it. Book your Free Consultation on my website.
