My clients are professionals, leaders, and executives who feel stuck, burned out, or uncertain about their next step. They may be questioning their direction, struggling with stress or self-doubt, or searching for greater meaning in their work and life. Career and life are not separate tracks. A demanding job affects your mood, your relationships, and your sleep. A divorce, a new baby, a parent's illness, grief, or your own mental health affect how you show up at work. Whether you have a job consuming you, you are between jobs, or life outside work is what is consuming you, all of it is welcome here.

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.
