Phoenix MandelMarriage & Family Therapist Associate, AMFT, CSE

About

Many of my clients are LGBTQIA+, nonmonogamous, neurodivergent, kinky, or otherwise living outside the cultural script; often they’re looking for a therapist with lived experience, who doesn’t need a glossary to understand where they’re coming from. Some of these clients are unpacking gender stories written by other people. Some are preparing for or adjusting to medical transition. Others are grappling with the complex intersections of identity, fertility, and family-making — exploring paths to parenting, navigating caregiver burnout, or facing questions about what legacy, lineage, and chosen family mean in queer life.
