Jean Donabedian

registered associate marriage and family therapist, Registered associate Professional Clinical Counselor

Hi, I’m Jean (he/they), a queer, non-binary therapist passionate about helping adult children of immigrants and members of the LGBTQ+ community find balance between culture and self. As a second-generation Armenian, I understand the push and pull of cultural expectations and personal identity. My goal is to create a safe, affirming space where you can explore and embrace all aspects of yourself.

My work is grounded in somatic and trauma-informed modalities, including Brainspotting and parts work, all through a culturally sensitive lens. I pay close attention to how experiences live in the body and nervous system, while honoring the cultural, familial, and intergenerational contexts that shape identity and coping. This integrative approach supports deep healing, increased self-understanding, and greater flexibility in how you relate to yourself and others.

Our sessions will feel conversational and trauma-informed, allowing us to connect authentically as we work toward your goals.

Outside of therapy, I get my creative brain going with Legos and immerse myself in worlds of adventure through D&D.
