QTBIPOC Somatic Therapy for Burnout, Trauma & Nervous System Healing

Hello. Salaam. I go by Setareh (she/her)

You have spent a long time adapting & long for feeling at home in your body, in your heart, your relationships

You may feel & think deeply, appearing capable while living with burnout, dissociation, exhaustion, or overwhelm.

You may be tired of explaining aspects of your Queer, Trans, BIPOC, Poly/ENM, Kink/BDSM, or high-masking Autistic/AuDHD identities.

If this is you I invite you to meet me & see how we might work together: Schedule a Free 15-Minute Consultation

You may recognize yourself here

  • You appear capable and accomplished, but your nervous system rarely feels at rest.

  • You experience chronic bracing, hypervigilance, shutdown, dissociation, burnout, or sensory overwhelm.

  • You've done therapy before and understand yourself intellectually, but your body still responds as though you're in danger.

  • You spend a great deal of energy masking, adapting, code-switching, performing competence, or holding yourself together.

  • You want greater freedom to inhabit your queer or trans identity, gender, sexuality, and body...

  • You are creating relationships outside conventional structures and want support navigating polyamory, ENM, kink, BDSM...

  • You are autistic or AuDHD and want to understand your nervous system without having your neurodivergence pathologized...

  • You are navigating race, culture, diaspora, family, ancestry, or systemic oppression while also wanting space for connection, pleasure, agency, and liberation.

What Therapy Can Become

  • A greater sense of safety and ease in your body

  • More freedom to be fully yourself, without constant self-monitoring

  • Boundaries that feel clear, embodied, and sustainable

  • More freedom to explore queer and trans identity with self-trust and authenticity

  • More ease navigating polyamory, intimacy, and kink with clarity, consent, and choice

  • Relationships with more safety, connection, autonomy, and mutuality

  • Greater freedom to stay connected to your racial, cultural, and ancestral identity

  • More room for rest, curiosity, grief, joy, pleasure, and creativity

My Approach

I don't believe trauma exists outside of context.

Our nervous systems adapt not only to families and relationships, but also to the larger conditions in which we live. Racism, ableism, transphobia, capitalism, medical trauma, and other systemic forces can shape how our bodies learn to survive.

Healing isn't about becoming someone different. It's about creating more freedom in how you inhabit your body, relationships, identity, and life.

My work integrates Somatic Experiencing®, attachment theory, existential-phenomenological psychotherapy, and liberation-oriented practice. We work carefully with sensation, emotion, boundaries, survival responses, attachment, and meaning-making.

Who I work with

  • Queer & Trans Adults

    • Therapy that does not treat gender or sexuality as pathology.

  • BIPOC & Diaspora

    • Therapy that considers culture, racism, migration, colonialism, and intergenerational experience.

  • Autistic & AuDHD Adults

    • Especially high-masking adults experiencing burnout, shutdown, chronic stress, or trauma.

  • Poly/ENM & Kink

    • Affirming therapy without treating consensual relationship structures or sexuality as pathology.

  • High-Responsibility Adults

    • People who are accustomed to functioning at a high level while carrying significant internal stress

What working together looks like

  • Weekly psychotherapy at a consistent appointment time

  • Long-term, depth-oriented work

  • Somatic trauma therapy within a queer- and trans-affirming, body-positive, sex-positive, liberatory framework

  • In-person therapy in Sebastopol or teletherapy throughout California

  • $200 per 50-minute session

  • Optum in-network; superbills available for possible out-of-network reimbursement

This practice may not be the right fit if you are looking for:

  • Biweekly, drop-in, or variable appointments

  • Brief or solution-focused therapy

  • Insurance other than Optum

  • A higher level of care than 1x week to 2x a week outpatient psychotherapy

About Setareh

I'm Setareh Azar Jinn, LMFT, SEP (Somatic Experiencing Practitioner).

I specialize in helping adults whose nervous systems have adapted to chronic stress, trauma, and systemic oppression.

My work is relational, clinically precise, and deeply respectful of the wisdom carried by the body. Rather than asking, "What's wrong with you?" I ask, "How has your nervous system learned to survive, and what might become possible if we can honor that and learn new ways of being in the world"
