Together, we’ll honor your lived experience, untangle internalized shame, and help you step more confidently into your true self.

Dr. Israel Martinez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CST, PhD
Sexual orientation and gender roles are core aspects of who we are, shaping how we experience ourselves and relate to others. Exploring and accepting these parts of your identity can be complex, influenced by personal experiences, societal expectations, and internalized stigma. My therapy offers a safe, affirming space to explore your identity, confront challenges, and work toward living authentically.
We focus on self-acceptance, helping you understand and articulate your sexual orientation and gender identity while addressing societal pressures that may cause shame or confusion. Therapy also supports your relationships, guiding you in setting boundaries, expressing yourself, and fostering connections that honor your identity.
Through this work, clients often experience increased confidence, reduced shame, and a stronger sense of self, leading to greater fulfillment and authentic living. My approach is empathetic, affirming, and client-centered, drawing on extensive experience with LGBTQ+ issues to help you embrace your strengths and navigate your journey with confidence.

Farzana Rahman
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC-D
Over the years, I've gained extensive experience working with couples who are part of queer relationships, polyamory, and open-monogamy relationships. I have also worked with individuals who are exploring what their sexuality means to them and learning how to navigate disclosing their identity to family, partners, and/or friends. I welcome people to come as they are and we can understand your story together!
