Hi, I’m Nina! I’m an LMFT specializing in LGBTQIA+ & neurodivergent affirming, culturally sensitive, trauma-focused care with training in EMDR & IFS. I provide affirming autism assessments for adults as well as virtual therapy for teens, adults, & relationships. I love working with my QTBIPoC community and allied accomplices. I am honored to walk alongside clients working through life transitions, identity exploration, complex trauma, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, grief & loss, difficulties with self-worth, self-esteem, boundaries, and more. I feel especially moved to work with those breaking the cycle of generational trauma & people beginning their journey of understanding their neurodivergence. I am an autistic nonbinary lesbian and mixed immigrant person of Filipino & Syrian descent. My lived experience has shaped every part of me, including my calling as a therapist and my approach to healing. As someone who navigates life holding many intersecting identities in an oppressively binary world, I’ve often felt confused, stuck, othered, hopeless, and fragmented. It would be an understatement to say it’s been a struggle to come home to myself. Continuously challenging and unlearning the messages of racism, sexism, homophobia, ableism, xenophobia, and every other -ism our world is steeped in has been crucial on my journey moving towards unapologetic authenticity and self-compassion. I’m thankful to have had therapists and community who held space for me without judgment and reflected back my worth, until I could begin holding myself, too. This is the same gift I feel called to share: co-creating a space where my clients can reconnect with themselves, their needs, their feelings, their communities, their relationships, their worth, their joy, their creativity, and their dreams. My Approach I’ve been told I have a warm, attuned, compassionate, & empowering approach. I hope to create an affirming collaborative space where your lived experience and identities are honored and celebrated. I bring my authentic self to the therapy space, so expect lots of laughter, honest feedback, care, transparency, and the 50% chance of my cats Beanie & Binky joining as my co-therapists. The interventions I use are highly dependent on your individual needs, comfort-level, feedback, and informed consent. Overall, I naturally strike a balance between deeply exploring issues, emotions, and beliefs as well as practicing tools and new ways of relating to yourself. My integrative approach draws from these frameworks: person-centered, feminist, relational, attachment-based, internal family systems (parts/inner child work), EMDR, mindfulness, strengths-based, Autistic-centered therapy, neurodivergent-affirming, disability justice, self-compassion, sex-positivity, liberation psychology, LGBTQIA-affirmative, and critical race theory. With couples, I also draw from the work of the Gottman Institute & Emotionally Focused Therapy. I love being in a field that encourages life-long learning, and I’m always trying to improve & integrate new approaches to better serve my clients. Affirming Autism Assessments As a late-diagnosed Autistic, I know how life-changing it is to finally put words to your lived experience. Whether you're starting to wonder if you're Autistic, already identify as Autistic and want a space to confirm and explore your traits, or fall somewhere in between - I'd love to help! I especially love meeting with people whose traits are often overlooked or misdiagnosed due to being high masking and/or belonging to a marginalized group. Throughout the whole process, I strive to help folks feel validated and empowered with new tools and a deeper understanding of themselves. I have specialized training in multiple affirming diagnostic tools - and having autism be one of my special interests definitely helps! I offer different packages based on your unique needs, including: Two to four-session formal comprehensive diagnostic clinical assessment One-hour consultation focused on informal identity exploration Optional additional sessions for further exploration Diagnostic letters, written reports, & accommodation recommendations as needed Please reach out and we can determine together if my services may be a good fit!

Hello and welcome! My name is Briana (Bree) Bedran, I am so honored and excited to start this healing journey with you. I am a first generation Belizean, born and raised here in Los Angeles. I provide trauma informed relational therapy and am passionate around serving my BIPoC and LGBTQ+ communities. I work with adults, teens, and those in romantic/platonic relationships and strive to co-create a space that is affirming, collaborative, creative, and empowering. Growing up in a Caribbean household with immigrant parents has influenced my journey and dedication to understanding and dismantling systems of oppression and how it affects our mental health and quality of life. As I have come to learn, understand, and walk through life with my own intersecting identities, exploring and providing feminist intersectional and culturally informed therapy is very close to my heart. I graduated from UCLA with my Bachelor’s in Biology and received my Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University. Integrating a mind/body (and spirit if you are open to it) connection is always on the table while working together. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the tool that heals and creates opportunities for growth and expansion. I am aware of how the power dynamics within traditional therapy settings can be intimidating and stressful, so it is of the highest importance that we do check-ins throughout our time together to ensure that this relationship is serving and empowering you. I am also trained in EMDR and look forward to explaining more if you are interested. “Rarely, if ever, are any of us healed in isolation. Healing is an act of communion.” - bell hooks https://www.lavenderhealingcollective.com/gloria-de-la-mora daily 0.75 2024-10-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607606cefd9251549c51dc8d/27f1617f-eed5-4a1b-855c-d9eae33dec44/Gloria_De_La_Mora.jpg Gloria De La Mora - Gloria De La Mora (she/her) Associate Marriage & Family Therapist Currently accepting new clients! Welcome all! My name is Gloria and I am deeply committed to providing fellow LGBTQIA+ BIPoC folx accessible and affirming services where social justice is at the forefront of mental health care. My professional area of focus is complex-trauma with an emphasis in working with survivors of sexual violence and gender-based harm. Common expressions of trauma may look like: anxious thoughts, depressive mood, suicidal ideation, grief, guilt, shame, interpersonal relationship distress, challenges with self-worth, and more. With warmth, thoughtfulness, and humor, I utilize an integrative approach that pulls from the following frameworks: Person-centered, EMDR therapy, Feminist therapy, Narrative therapy, Mindfulness, Attachment-based, and Systems Family Therapy. I aim to build insight and awareness by co-creating a safe enough space to explore how activating experiences may influence distress and coping. My interventions are trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, sex-positive, neurodivergent-affirming, and culturally responsive to my client’s presenting concerns. I aim to empower my clients through education, mindfulness-based coping skills, and resources to foster long-term autonomy. Therapy is an intersectional practice so as part of my client’s care we will actively deconstruct how larger systems of oppression have contributed to their distress. If my approach resonates with you, please reach out via e-mail to schedule a free consultation. Seeking out quality and affirming care is an extremely vulnerable and exhausting process so if we are not the right fit, I would be happy to provide referrals to support you on your journey.

Jaffe - J.R. Jaffe (they/them) Associate Marriage & Family Therapist Currently accepting clients! Supervised by Roshni Chabra, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Hi all! I’m JR, a Trans/nonbinary Associate Marriage and Family Therapist providing trauma-focused care primarily for BIPOC LGBTQIA+ clients of all ages in California. My approach is grounded in anti-oppression and social justice work that centers your lived experience. I meet with many clients who are neurodivergent and experience chronic pain and illness, and are looking for ways to navigate depression, anxiety, and panic when confronted with systems not built for our needs. Healing happens in places that are supportive and collaborative, and where people feel free and safe enough to be themselves. We will take things one step at a time, building a working relationship together as we begin to process your experiences and identify strength-based goals. I will help you to deepen your relationship to yourself and build connection and interdependence with friends, chosen family, and trusted community. I use a feminist therapy lens that combines aspects of narrative, parts work, expressive arts and EMDR in a way that listens to, centers, and adapts to your needs to help empower you. Together, we can identify creative ways for you to emotionally resource, think through experiences, and connect more deeply with your agency, strength, and resilience. In addition to therapeutic work, I also provide training and consultation to therapists who are providing care to people in Queer and Trans communities. If you are interested in working together, please reach out for a free consultation. I look forward to meeting you!
