Hello! My name is Oliver (he/him). Living as a trans person has a unique set of experiences and challenges that have impacted the way I interact with the world and by default, has also impacted how the world interacts with me. My goal and special interest have always been to work with and help other members of the LGBT+ community, as I know the social and political risks that can come with just being ourselves.

I emphasize and focus on trauma-work with a personal belief that each client should leave a session having processed or learned something about themselves, something for them to contemplate, and something that made the appointment worth coming to.

I take a Health at Every Size approach and specialize in anxiety, bipolar, body dysmorphia, depression, disordered eating, dual diagnosis, gender affirming care, gender dysphoria, relationship concerns, personality disorders, PTSD, sex/intimacy concerns and substance use/addiction. I am a pre-licensed counselor working on obtaining my LPC.

Howdy! My name is Loren, and I am a therapist here at Arrive. I am a queer gendered Afro-Indigenous person born in Puerto Rico. I grew up in the South, and I have lived all over the world. I am a musician, rugby player, roller skater, manga reader, and fantasy card game player.

However, when asked about who I am as a clinician, I say that I am a Suicidologist and have worked primarily in treatment centers for addiction and the prison industrial complex while centering a social work lens.

In that way, it is my goal, through service, that I can support clients in combating social injustice perceived and experienced, help develop feelings of dignity and internalized worth, establish valuable human relationships within their lives, and engage the world as their most authentic self. Each person who takes their seat on my metaphorical and literal couch will have the opportunity to expand their capacity to experience their world more effectively.

I have spent the majority of my time as a therapist working with people to understand the source of their action or inaction, what can motivate change, and what to do when it feels there is no way forward. If the nature of crisis work has been to talk people off the ledge, then our time in session will be to identify how we got to the ledge in the first place, what factors created it, and what other behaviors we can use to build a bridge for our next steps instead.

Hello! I’m Moujan (She/Her).

I began transitioning relatively recently, and while it hasn’t been without its difficulties, overall it remains the most positive and fulfilling decision I’ve made in my life. After my bachelor’s degree in psychology, I decided to do a hard pivot to explore what I really wanted out of life and became a carpenter. I completed my training in Pittsburgh, started my own business, and became a commercial travel carpenter before deciding to return to school for my master’s in counseling.

My hobbies include reading, writing, listening to music, and the art of hospitality, which can involve anything from remembering a friend’s favorite flowers to perfecting a new recipe ahead of a potluck. I quite enjoy puttering around, meandering without any intent, and looking at things – art, mushrooms, bugs, neat buildings, anything really. If I could paint, I would paint nothing but clouds. One day, I will learn to paint, and then I will fill my home with clouds, the sky on every wall.

Hi! My name’s Evan (he/him). Outside of the office, I’m a nerd! I like playing D&D, watching streamers on Twitch, playing cozy video games, and cross-stitching.

As a transgender and queer person, I want to embody the idea that queer doesn’t have one defined “look.” Given my various identities as a disabled queer person of color, I can empathize with anyone who feels “othered.” Through a person-centered lens, I guide my clients in becoming their most authentic selves. I help clients write the story of their lives where they shape their main character energy to propel them into a future they thrive in.

My name is Dakota, but feel free to call me Dax.

I identify as a transgender man, and my pronouns are he/him/his. I believe therapy is for everyone and that growth is a turbulent process best experienced under the care of a therapist who allows you to be your authentic self. Further, I believe that queer clients deserve specialized, well-informed care that recognizes the nuances involved in queer life, which is what draws me to Arrive Therapy.

I encourage clients to be themselves with me, no matter what that looks like. My goal is to help clients navigate life’s complexities both safely and in a way that promotes positive mental and emotional growth/healing. As a clinician, I am LGBTQ-affirming, body-positive, intersectionally-feminist, kink-knowledgeable, and sex-positive, and I approach every client without judgment.

I am a firm believer in “think globally, act locally.” In my free time, I can be found seated for a film at an indie movie theater, reading at an indie coffee shop or by a body of water, in the stacks of an indie book store, crate-digging at a local record shop, volunteering for queer organizations, at a hardcore show, making music, or at a book club. If I am not in any of those places, I am cuddling my dogs on the couch.
