Rizi Timane
As an LGBTQIA2+ affirming therapist and trans-man myself, I understand that navigating a world that wasn't built for us can be exhausting. Whether you are dealing with the weight of microaggressions, exploring your gender identity, navigating relationship dynamics, or working through historical trauma, you deserve a space where you don’t have to explain the basics of your identity. I strongly believe that mental health professionals should be gate-openers, not gatekeepers. If you need a referral letter for gender-affirming medical care (including top surgery, bottom surgery, HRT, or other procedures), I provide comprehensive, WPATH-compliant evaluations. As a queer-affirming LCSW, I provide a deeply collaborative, non-judgmental space tailored specifically for the LGBTQ+ community. My practice is rooted in liberation, self-compassion, and practical healing. We will work together to dismantle internalized shame, navigate transitions, and build a life that feels authentically yours. Starting therapy is a courageous step. If you're ready to begin your healing journey, I'm here to support you. Let’s connect to discuss how we can work together.
