befriend your body
unmask your authentic self
& make peace with the past

Austin PAPASIAN, LICSW

The world is a better place with you in it.

LGBTQ

The last thing you need to spend your energy on right now is whether it’s okay to talk about your life in therapy.

Supplementing lived experience with community and training, I ensure quality, affirming care for LGBTQ+ folks seeking therapy.

Neurodivergence

Unmasking? Exploring adaptations and accommodations? Hoping for therapy where you don’t need to perform the role of Good Patient? Just wanting to better understand yourself?

Whether you’re self-identified, formally diagnosed, or questioning everything— I want to work with you.

TrANSFORMING TRAUMA

Ancestral. Relational. Social. Systemic. Sometimes our experiences harden around us, keeping parts of us trapped in the past.

Through a gentle, collaborative approach, I support you in: getting to know the shape your survival has taken, broadening your capacity for rewarding relationships, and increasing your ability to be present for your life.

Free Consultation

Finding someone who gets you is an essential part of successful therapy. I offer a 20 minute free consult appointment so we can see if we’re a good fit.

If you prefer to connect by email first, you can contact me here.

believe us, they say,
it is a serious thing

just to be alive
on this fresh morning
in this broken world.
