Hello, I am a born-and-raised Angeleno of Mexican descent. I am a non-binary, queer-affirmative, trans-affirmative, sex-positive therapist who earned a master's degree in clinical psychology (with an LGBTQIA+ specialization) from Antioch University, Los Angeles. My pronouns are they/them.

Between everything going on in the world, family problems, work stress, relationship issues, abuse, trauma, and so much more, life can be stressful, overwhelming, and at times feel hopeless. I am here to help you find relief from the stresses you are facing so that you feel ready and able to conquer anything that comes your way. I help you uncover the roots of the issues in your life and we will work as a team to find a unique path to healing that tailors to you and your specific goals and needs.

If you are searching for support and hope, you’re in the right place.

As non-binary and trans folx we often find ourselves wondering "where do I belong in this world?" and "why can't I just be myself?" It seems like we've tried everything but we dont feel like we belong or we are in a safe place to live & work. We often wonder when its going to get better? When can I just live my life fully how I am? Sometimes we feel sad and it can be a very lonely place. We can even forget just how special and unique we are because we are so different and surrounded by those who just don't get it. We really want someone who can connect to us &make our experiences feel validated, reminding us that we are beautiful.

My name is Ezak and my pronouns are they, them, theirs. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and Gender Specialist at Diaspora Therapy Group. I utilize a person-centered and strengths-based approach and I have been trained through a multicultural and trauma-informed lens. I work with adolescents and adults wanting to make a change in their life and I work collaboratively with my clients to identify their goals.

Healing from trauma, reclaiming power, growing from struggle and learning to work WITH emotions rather than AGAINST them are the goals I strive to support my clients in achieving. I want to help my clients move beyond simply not feeling so depressed, anxious, angry or manic. I want to help them transcend their pain, feel like they are fulfilling their purpose in life, are able to truly love themselves and are cultivating relationships that feed their soul. Narrative Therapy teaches my clients to transform the meaning of what they have been through and techniques from Existential Therapy help clients create or discover their purpose.

My goal as a therapist is to empower you to be your own best advocate. I want to help you identify your feelings, needs, wants, and resources- creating a space where all of you is welcome, seen, and respected. While I always attempt to approach therapy through an inclusive, intersectional lens, I am also open to critical feedback. I want to make space for you. I want to help you reconnect with your authentic self to best support your own growth and healing. See more on my website: www.samsilvermantherapy.com. I offer Zoom (or other virtual) sessions and park sessions in the echo park area.

Hello! My name is Matthew. Thanks for visiting my profile! I am an eclectic therapist (MFT) who - depending on what it is on which you'd like to work - draws from a number of different modalities (from gestalt to psychodynamic to trauma-informed to solution-focused and more). My goal is to help you become more aware of your wholeness and your own inherent abilities to heal and create for yourself a life imbued with meaning, purpose, wonder, healthy relationships, and spiritual well-being.

How would you rate the quality of your relationships at this moment? Do you enjoy your own company? How is your connection with your family? Do you feel you are connected to a particular community? Any community? Let's explore the various manifestations of loneliness and intimacy. Your overall well-being is determined by the status of your intrapersonal and interpersonal relationships. I want to work with you to create the life you deserve & desire - let's work toward it together.

Welcome, I am so glad you are here. Life is hard, and finding a therapist is even harder! My goal is to create a safe, collaborative environment - one where you are respected, seen, and empowered!

I am queer, trans non-binary, white, neurodivergent human who values diversity and strives to use an anti-colonial lens.

Do you feel like there's a piece of you that's foggy? Is there a feeling so destructibly comforting that it's hard to pull away? Do you ever feel like wallpaper in a crowded room? Do the screams from your dreams keep you up at night, follow you in the morning, and sing off key during the day? Is life confusing, weird, and just too painful? Let's talk about it. Scream about it. Write about it. Cry about it. Hug plushies while we laugh about it. Whatever it is that you need in order to experience that release. My philosophy is that each and every human being has a unique and powerful story to tell. Lets hear your next chapter.

I work with individuals & families who yearn for deeper, more satisfying connections to themselves, each other and the earth. Self-love is an unlearning process, and by bearing witness to your gifts, spirit, and love, as well as whatever may be clouding these forces, I hope to help you come home to yourself and from a place of alignment, begin orienting your life towards what nourishes it. Capitalism leaves us with few tools beyond the punishment and blame when it comes to self-improvement. I hope to replenish your toolkit with the grace, curiosity, and connection that will actually facilitate the growth and wellbeing of your spirit

I have experience working with Consensually Nonmonogamous Configurations as well as Kinky populations in regard to my relational work.

You have also been exposed to an unprecedented amount of collective trauma both within your communities, and on a larger global scale. You're finding it harder to get a good night's rest, and you struggle to find meaning in a world that seems overwhelmingly painful to exist in. You want things to be different, but you don't know how.
