Our Therapists

Lucas Dangler, LMFT

Lucas (he/they) is an EMDR-trained LMFT who specializes in working with gay, lesbian, bisexual, nonbinary, transgender, and queer individuals and couples who are struggling with trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, substance use, and challenges with interpersonal relationships, coming out, gender experiences, major life transitions, and queer and multiracial identity development.

Lucas uses EMDR therapy and client-centered, mindfulness-based, and cognitive behavioral interventions to support people in healing from traumatic events and unresolved grief by helping them reprocess disturbing, burdensome memories so that the memories become less intrusive, distracting, and painful. The conversations and processing that take place in therapy draw on the client’s and therapist’s respective expertises and knowledge to co-create new experiences and narratives that reorganize the client’s thinking, behavior, and resources to better serve the client in their healing, navigation of major life transitions and challenges, personal growth, and progress towards their goals.

Before receiving his M.S. in Mental Health Counseling from University of Massachusetts Boston, Lucas received his B.A.&Sc. in Cognitive Science with concentrations in Neuroscience and Linguistics from McGill University. Lucas is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Pennsylvania and California.

Rainbow-Wolf Sabin, LSW

Rainbow-Wolf Sabin (they/them) is a licensed social worker. They obtained their Master of Social Work and Graduate Certificate in Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies from the University of Pennsylvania. Rainbow-Wolf works with teens and adults aged 14 and older for individual therapy, as well as couples. Rainbow-Wolf identifies with and works with those in the queer/trans/LGBTQIA+, kink/BDSM and poly/ENM/CNM communities.

Rainbow-Wolf works with individuals on looking at the different aspects of themselves and their lives as pieces of a puzzle to put together. This involves looking at emotions, thoughts, behaviors, in addition to the mind-body connection through a variety of techniques including psychodynamic therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, positive psychology, mindfulness, emotional freedom technique (EFT, aka “tapping”), and more. They also acknowledge that a person is not separate from their environment, so another part of the work is exploring how external influences have an impact on the individual. Rainbow-Wolf believes there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy, so they will tailor their work to your specific preferences and needs. Rainbow-Wolf works with those experiencing depression, anxiety, grief and loss, stress, life transitions/existential crisis, perfectionism, relationship issues, and issues or concerns surrounding identity, dysphoria, transitioning and/or coming out.

Jesse Braff, LAPC

Jesse (he/him) is passionate about supporting clients through life’s ups and downs by creating a welcoming, judgment-free space for you to safely explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences, both past and present. He helps clients to set clear goals early on so that sessions feel focused and meaningful. Jesse brings compassion, active listening, and personalized tools to every session, working to meet your unique needs.

Jesse has experience supporting people facing depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, and substance abuse as well as struggles related to sexual orientation and gender identity. His approach to therapy centers around teaching practical coping skills and helping clients explore and make sense of unwanted thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

He believes growth happens both inside and outside of therapy and supports clients in applying what they learn in therapy in their everyday lives to build confidence, resilience, and a stronger sense of self.
