Bonnie Rae
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #91089
Along with seeing clients in my private practice, I have served as a supervisor for associate therapists for the past 8 years. Previously, I was an adjunct instructor in the Masters of Clinical Psychology program at Antioch University, teaching workshops devoted to helping budding therapists work with queer and lesbian identified women through an LGBTQ affirmative lens.
I received a Masters in Clinical Psychology degree from Antioch University with a specialization in LGBT psychology (the only LGBT specialization program in the world at the time). During my studies, I began my training at the Los Angeles Gay & Lesbian Center where I worked with a diverse population as an individual therapist and group therapy co-facilitator of the Transgender Men Empowerment group. I then worked for over a year at Village Counseling and Wellness, co-facilitating Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills groups for adults, adolescents and parents, and seeing individual clients in two private practice settings. I also worked on the planning committee of SAGA (Sexuality and Gender Awareness), a small group of mental health practitioners dedicated to providing education on how to be LGBTQ affirmative.
I received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Emerson College, and through my work within the entertainment industry, I realized that my true passion lived within the minds and emotions of human beings. The practice of psychology and therapy gives me the space to work creatively and intellectually while experiencing the humbling feeling of watching people change their lives.
I have a wide range of experience in working with people of various backgrounds, ethnicities, sexual orientations and gender identities. Although my special interests include working with the LGBTQ community and people in the entertainment industry, my expertise is not limited to these populations. I enjoy assisting clients in managing and/or overcoming anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, painful relationship patterns, creative blocks, co-dependency, love and sex addiction, chronic pain/autoimmune conditions, issues with intimacy and low self-esteem. I believe that our emotional world reflects our physical bodies/health, and I am passionate about mind, body & soul integration. I offer Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples/partners/relationships, and attachment-based EMDR as a tool to process trauma.
John Goodhue
Associate Marriage and Family Therapist
John brings a nuanced balance of compassion and challenge to his work, foregrounding warmth, humor, authentic curiosity, and sensitive but constructive engagement with difficult material. John's approach is largely informed by psychodynamic, existential, somatic, gestalt, and mindfulness principles. However, he believes that, more than any theory, it is the singular connection he builds with each client—and, in particular, the chance to explore and refine present and possibly unconscious interpersonal patterns occurring presently—that serves as the spark for lasting transformation.
John finds it an absolute honor to help clients gain greater awareness of how they may be reacting to echos from the past, unmoor from old and worn experiential regimes, access newer and truer selves in surprising ways, and find fresh and unfamiliar pockets of meaning and vivacity within familiar life.
John obtained his MA in Clinical Psychology at Antioch University and received initial training at San Fernando Valley Counseling Center where he worked with a variety of clients challenged by anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, identity stress, familial and relational discord, creative and vocational blockages, trauma, grief/loss, life transitions, and existential/spiritual dilemmas. John also holds an MFA in Poetry from The University of Massachusetts Amherst.
John is a Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (#152397) working under the clinical supervision of Bonnie Rae, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (#91089). If you’d like to learn more about working with John, please feel free to reach out for a free phone consultation.
zoë rawson
Associate Clinical Social Worker (Formerly Licensed in a Different State)
Zoë believes that shared experiences with one another are how we grow and make sense of ourselves in the world. This is the beauty and power of therapy. It offers the opportunity to have a purposeful, connected, and healing experience, contributing to deeper self-awareness and intimacy with others. Together, you and Zoë will engage in present moment awareness, acknowledging and releasing what defenses no longer serve you, and embracing a new authentic shape that allows for agency and self-actualization.
Zoë takes her role in supporting this collaborative work very seriously while also holding space for the fundamental importance of the power each of us has to lead our own healing. In therapy, you will explore how your body and mind interact. You will lean into a sensory experience of spaciousness for what is possible and examine together what is being called to change. Zoë’s practice is highly relational. She invites the inclusion of intersectional identities and the work of self-liberation from oppressive and harmful structures that directly impact our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health.
Zoë received her Masters of Social Work at Portland State University in 2001. She practiced as a licensed clinical social worker in Rhode Island before shifting career focus towards supporting grassroots justice movements to create community-led care alternatives to incarceration and criminalization. This work helped her develop a deeper understanding of trauma and its relationship to structural violence against people and communities. She is highly influenced by Black, femme and queer-led transformative movements and bringing healing justice as a fundamental right into the therapeutic setting. She has extensive experience working with grief and loss, creatives/artists, post-traumatic growth, addiction, harm reduction and recovery, youth and adolescent development, identity development, cultural healing, intergenerational trauma, family and relationship co-dependency, boundary development, parts work, shadow work, restorative and transformative justice and nature-based therapy.
Zoë is a registered Associate Clinical Social Worker (#130790) working under the clinical supervision of Bonnie Rae, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (#91089). If you would like to learn more about working with Zoë, please feel free to reach out for a free phone consultation.
