I’m Dean Stahl, and I work as a psychotherapist, teacher, intuitive, and performer helping tender impressive people center compassion in their lives. While I work with people of varying identities, my work centers queer ecological theory.

Through work with clients, I aim to disrupt isolation, perfectionism, colonialism, and seriousnessisms.  

I’m queer, white, non-binary, and chronically ill guy who keeps my sun in Virgo, rising in Scorpio, and moon in Pisces. I’m born and raised in SF-Bay Area, 15 years in NYC, and now live in LA with my two cat sisters Luna and Soleil Sol. They/them if you please! 

With a world demanding perfection, it can be scary to pause and consider the in between. Think of me as a fellow traveler—carrying a lantern and snacks while we explore your path together.
