Hello! My name is Kameron "Kam" Kaveh, I am an LMFT licensed in California. My therapeutic approach is two parts, therapy should be something you look forward to, and should be a place where you can process the changes that you would like to make in your life. I specialize in LGBTQIA + populations with a particular emphasis on advocacy and religious trauma. I tend to approach clients from an integrative standpoint. Starting with the initial assessment I look to understand developmental "stuck points" that inhibit forward progress.

I support people struggling with sex and porn addiction, drugs and alcohol, and other compulsive behaviors that have created chaos in their own life and relationships. I also work with spouses/partners who have been negatively impacted by betrayal, trauma and addictions. With over 20 years of clinical experience I provide a focused therapy plan and tools through mindful and confidential counseling so that you are able to live life and make healthy choices. You can make changes, rebuild trust and respect, and connect with people you love, and I am here to help every step of the way. Investing in your mental health is a wise choice.

Feeling understood, supported, and safe are key aspects of the therapeutic relationship. The process of therapy also includes developing and enhancing self understanding. Together, we can explore and understand difficult issues in your life and gain a deeper understanding of your situation. Through this process, we can begin to offer you new emotional experiences and provide you with skills to improve your relationships with others and yourself. In a safe setting with warmth and engagement, I provide an opportunity to gently navigate what is bothering you most.

You deserve to feel good in your body. You deserve relationships that contribute to your well-being- not detract from it. You deserve to enjoy healthy expressions of your sexuality. But due to societal pressures and less-than-helpful toxic norms and legacies, these are areas where many people struggle. As a sex-positive, anti-racist, queer & trans -knowledgeable therapist, I’m here to provide non-judgemental support. In therapy, you’ll learn gentle tools to help you love and accept your body, manage your stress, elevate your mood, and improve your relationships.

We all deserve to feel seen, included, and understood, no matter who we are. As an LGBTQ + affirmative therapist, my aim is to help you better see yourself in all aspects of who you are, feel more included in relation to those around you, and experience a greater understanding of how you fit into a wider world. Maybe you’re exploring your non-binary gender for the first time. Maybe you’re supporting a transgender family member or partner. Maybe you’re working through relationship challenges as an LGBTQ + person. Together, we can explore what “seen,” “included,” and “understood” mean for you and how you can achieve them.

Taking the first steps towards healing our inner wounds is a journey that does not have to be made alone. Therapy is a space for your to be seen, heard, and foster a sense of security. With a client centered approach, I am here to walk side by side you, with a goal of making you feel empowered to make the positive changes you want to make for your life. By navigating our past experiences, we uncover patterns, messages, and beliefs we internalize that holds us back in our present moments. Gaining awareness of our past, and making new meaning, we are able to create new experiences for our future.

I’m deadly curious about what you want to say but can’t, who you want to be but won’t, and what would unfold out of you if we could together tend to the parts that are hard to bear— without judgment and without a goal for what comes next.

It is from this safer space that you will once again look at the long-hidden precious parts of you, and together we will see how you want to unfold from here.
