I’m Jaron, a gay and genderqueer therapist in Oakland. I work with adults of all genders, with a particular focus on men, including gay and queer men.
A lot of my clients are good at explaining themselves. Some know exactly what isn’t working; others have a harder time naming it. I don’t think one is a better reason to come to therapy than the other, and you don’t have to arrive convinced therapy is the answer.
I’m fairly direct in the room. I use somatic therapy, EMDR, Ego State Therapy, and mindfulness, and I pay attention to what happens while you’re telling me the story, not just the story itself. For some clients, I also offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy in partnership with a licensed medical partner.
Working with another queer person can mean there is less context to translate before we get to the reason you’re actually there. I don’t assume shared identity means shared experience, but I know the territory.
I’m an Associate Clinical Social Worker, ASW #139998, practicing under the supervision of Emily Haydock, LMFT #109122. I see clients in Rockridge and online across California.
