I have been a psychologist for 44 years and worn many hats: schools, private practice, clinics and agencies. Experience counts for a lot! I am dedicated to my patients reducing their suffering.
I have a masters degree in psychology with a background in development throughout the lifetime. I have worked with school age, teens, and families through a school based setting. This has given me the value of supporting growth in regards to gender, sexuality, and trauma.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist located in Marin County, California. My education and training have been centered on being trauma-informed and working with individuals, couples, and families.
Hello,
I am Dr. Jaeger and I welcome you to my practice. I look forward to sitting with you, hearing your story, and developing a plan to help you with your concerns and needs.
Hi, I’m Gigi — a fat-positive, queer therapist with over 15 years of experience in mental health, and a deep commitment to creating space for healing, exploration, and radical self-acceptance.
I believe therapy is for anyone seeking growth, clarity, or peace — especially those who’ve been told they were “too much” or “not enough.” I specialize in working with clients navigating identity, gender, sexuality, body image, and nontraditional relationships.
My goal is to help you reconnect with your most authentic self and build a life that feels like it belongs to you.
My work is rooted in curiosity, humility, and compassion. I draw from a variety of approaches, including CBT, DBT, narrative therapy, and attachment-based work — all through a feminist and socially conscious lens. I also recognize the complex systems of power that shape our experiences, and I aim to make therapy a collaborative space where your voice is centered and respected.
What matters most to me is that you feel seen, heard, and supported. I know what it feels like to move through the world feeling unwelcome or unseen — and I’m here to offer something different. Together, we’ll explore the patterns that no longer serve you, celebrate what makes you beautifully unique, and find ways to move forward with more confidence, self-love, and ease.
You are the expert in your life. I’m here to offer tools, perspective, and a steady hand — not to fix you, but to walk alongside you as you build the life that feels like home.
I’m Dr. Mariam Esfahani, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Doctorate in Psychology. With nearly two decades of experience, I have dedicated my career to helping adolescents and adults navigate trauma, anxiety, and life transitions. I also specialize in couples therapy, guiding partners toward healthier communication, connection, and conflict resolution.
I'm a licensed psychologist working with adolescents, adults, and seniors navigating anxiety, depression, grief, significant life changes, or challenges with attention and focus. My goal is to offer a safe, affirming space to explore your life, your story, and what matters most to you — your experiences, your values, and where you hope to go. You are a complex, whole person made up of many parts — and there is room here for all of them.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Anaheim
Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Anaheim starts with identifying someone who offers identity-affirming care and has experience with the concerns you want to address. This may include gender identity, sexual orientation, family dynamics, relationship concerns, anxiety, depression, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for bios that name LGBTQIA+ populations directly or reference affirmative therapy, WPATH training, gender-diverse experience, or other relevant background. Finding an affirming therapist matters beyond clinical training alone, since fit can shape how comfortable the care process feels from the first conversation.
In a mid-sized city like Anaheim, you may find a range of local therapists, while more specialized LGBTQIA+ experience can vary by neighborhood, schedule, and appointment format. Virtual therapy can expand your options beyond nearby offices while keeping in-person care available if you prefer a local setting. To narrow your search, compare appointment availability, therapeutic approach, therapist background, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist profiles before booking can help you see how they describe their work with LGBTQIA+ people, their communication style, and what a first session may involve.
Therapy in Anaheim can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find LGBTQIA+ therapists who are accepting new patients, review estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose between virtual and in-person appointments. You can browse therapists, compare bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
