I have a masters degree in psychology with a background in development throughout the lifetime. I have worked with school age, teens, and families through a school based setting. This has given me the value of supporting growth in regards to gender, sexuality, and trauma.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist located in Marin County, California. My education and training have been centered on being trauma-informed and working with individuals, couples, and families.
Hello,
I am Dr. Jaeger and I welcome you to my practice. I look forward to sitting with you, hearing your story, and developing a plan to help you with your concerns and needs.
Hi, I’m Gigi — a fat-positive, queer therapist with over 15 years of experience in mental health, and a deep commitment to creating space for healing, exploration, and radical self-acceptance.
I believe therapy is for anyone seeking growth, clarity, or peace — especially those who’ve been told they were “too much” or “not enough.” I specialize in working with clients navigating identity, gender, sexuality, body image, and nontraditional relationships.
My goal is to help you reconnect with your most authentic self and build a life that feels like it belongs to you.
My work is rooted in curiosity, humility, and compassion. I draw from a variety of approaches, including CBT, DBT, narrative therapy, and attachment-based work — all through a feminist and socially conscious lens. I also recognize the complex systems of power that shape our experiences, and I aim to make therapy a collaborative space where your voice is centered and respected.
What matters most to me is that you feel seen, heard, and supported. I know what it feels like to move through the world feeling unwelcome or unseen — and I’m here to offer something different. Together, we’ll explore the patterns that no longer serve you, celebrate what makes you beautifully unique, and find ways to move forward with more confidence, self-love, and ease.
You are the expert in your life. I’m here to offer tools, perspective, and a steady hand — not to fix you, but to walk alongside you as you build the life that feels like home.
I’m Dr. Mariam Esfahani, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Doctorate in Psychology. With nearly two decades of experience, I have dedicated my career to helping adolescents and adults navigate trauma, anxiety, and life transitions. I also specialize in couples therapy, guiding partners toward healthier communication, connection, and conflict resolution.
I provide care for all adult individuals who are seeking support in both traditional psychotherapy and sex therapy services. Whether it's anxiety, trauma, or day-to-day stressors, therapy can be a great resource. Ever feel like your experiences have control over you, and not the other way around? You're not alone! I provide a supportive and encouraging session environment that allows clients to regain and create their self-autonomy. I value providing a non-judgmental and respectful environment in each session.
I strongly value how my multicultural identities can further assist my support for clients. I am a Marine wife, mother of two, kink-friendly, and more. I also have experience supporting clients through a range of experiences, from day-to-day stress to significant life transitions. Join now, and let's continue to nurture community, connection, and support!
I strive to ensure the unique support and encouragement each client needs is provided in each session. Open, honest, and collaborative communication is valued between my clients and me. I have strong values around a non-judgmental session structure. Adding a therapist to your team can be very rewarding, supportive, and encouraging.
