Everest creates a space where all parts of you are welcome — your identity, your neurology, your cultural background, your community. Their work is grounded in the belief that good therapy doesn't ask you to check pieces of yourself at the door to qualify for care.
About Everest
Everest Deadlock (they/he) is an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT), practicing under the clinical supervision of Kameron Kaveh, LMFT. They work via telehealth across the state of California, offering LGBTQIA+ affirming, culturally responsive therapy to adolescents, adults, couples, and families.
Their specialization spans neurodiverse individuals — including those navigating ADHD, OCD, autism, and related experiences — as well as racial and ethnic minorities, and members of the queer community working through anxiety, depression, PTSD, and identity exploration. Everest brings a genuine commitment to anti-oppressive practice: the kind of care that doesn't just claim to be inclusive, but actually is.
Sessions are collaborative, direct, and grounded in real relationship. Everest shows up as a full person in the room — and works to build a therapeutic partnership that feels like exactly that.
"A space where all parts of you feel seen isn't a nice-to-have. It's the whole point."

How Everest Works
Everest draws from culturally responsive, evidence-based approaches — adapting to each person's identity, neurology, and context rather than fitting people into a single framework.
CBT / DBT
Evidence-based tools for managing anxiety, OCD, and mood — adapted for neurodiverse brains and tailored to what actually works for each person, not just what works on paper.
AFFIRMING PRACTICE
LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy means you don't have to educate your therapist before the real work begins. Everest's fluency is genuine — not performative tolerance.
PERSON-CENTERED
You're the expert on your own experience. Everest follows your lead — offering reflection, challenge, and support without pushing an agenda that isn't yours.
CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE
Your racial, ethnic, and cultural background aren't just context — they're central. Everest actively accounts for how systemic and cultural forces shape mental health, rather than treating them as footnotes.
Common Questions
Is Everest currently accepting new clients?
Yes! Everest is now accepting new clients. Book a free 15-minute consultation to connect and make sure it feels like a good fit.
Do I need to identify as LGBTQIA+ to work with Everest?
No. Everest's LGBTQIA+ affirmation means queer clients can show up without having to explain or defend their identity — but their practice is open to anyone seeking affirming, culturally responsive care. Neurodiversity, racial identity, and lived experience are all central to who they work with.
What does supervision by Kam mean for my sessions?
As an AMFT, Everest practices under the clinical supervision of Kameron Kaveh, LMFT — New Leaf's founder. This is standard for associate therapists in California and means their work is regularly reviewed to support the quality of your care. Your sessions are with Everest; supervision happens separately.
Does Everest work with teens and families?
Yes — Everest works with adolescents, adults, couples, and families. Their experience with neurodiverse and queer youth makes them particularly well-suited for teens navigating identity, anxiety, or feeling like they don't fit existing support systems.
