L.S. Pearce (she/her) "Pearce"

Associate Clinical Social Worker

I am a trauma-certified therapist who specializes in working with members of the BIPOC community and LGBTQ community around identity issues and trauma. As a writer, musician, and media artist, I have a thorough understanding of the creative process and frequently assist clients in awakening or expanding their own creativity. Additionally, in my capacity as a radical progressive, I work therapeutically with many activists around issues of burnout, depression/anxiety, and compassion fatigue.

Michael Migdat (he/him)
"Mike"

Associate Clinical Social Worker

I help adults with trauma, depression, anxiety, self-esteem,  spirituality, and relationships, among other concerns. I especially like working within the LGBTQI+ community. I formerly managed community outreach and engagement for the older adult services department and provided therapy at the Long Beach LGBTQI+ Center.

I am trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

I aim to provide an affirming space for you to develop a deep understanding of yourself, explore challenges you’re facing both internally and externally, and discover healthy ways to achieve your goals. No matter where our work together takes us, you will always receive unconditional acceptance, respect, and care.
