‍ ‍Tristan Crane is an associate therapist working under supervision and providing services with the support of Axis Mundi Center for Mental Health. Located in Oakland and Fort Bragg, Tristan supports clients across a range of ages, backgrounds, and needs, generally focusing on supporting members of the LGBTQ+ community. Therapy can be a supportive place to explore our own voices, our goals, and to connect with our own inner wisdom. In group sessions, we will co-create a space where youth can come together to explore questions of identity, current events, challenges and expand our toolbox of solutions.
