Online Trauma Therapy in California for Queer, BIPOC, and Marginalized Clients
Led by clinicians with lived experience who bring both expertise and real-world understanding
Specialized Therapy for Complex Lived Realities
We work with clients navigating religious trauma, non-monogamy, identity exploration, and racial trauma, as well as the complexity of living across multiple identities. This is not one-size-fits-all therapy. Our work is grounded, nuanced, and built for real life.
Therapy that honors your whole self. No code switching. No explaining.
Our clinicians integrate lived experience with clinical training to offer therapy that is culturally aware, direct, and grounded in real-world experience. We focus on depth and specialization, not generic care.

What We Help With
We support clients navigating religious trauma and faith deconstruction, non-monogamy and relationship dynamics, gender and sexuality, racial trauma and cultural stress, and neurodivergence, burnout, and overwhelm. We also work with anxiety, depression, and life transitions through a trauma-informed and identity-aware lens.
Specialties
We provide therapy for queer and transgender clients, people of color, neurodivergent individuals, sex workers, and those in kink, polyamory, and consensually non-monogamous relationships. We specialize in religious trauma and faith deconstruction, including the intersection of religion with gender, sexuality, and identity. Our work focuses on identity, relationships, and complex trauma, including recovery from shame-based systems.
Therapy Orientation
AMR Therapy offers multiple therapy modalities, with a clinical emphasis on EMDR therapy, Brainspotting, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), somatic therapy, attachment-based therapy, and sex-positive therapy to treat trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, identity stress, and relationship challenges.
