Hi! I'm Olivia. I've been in therapy practice for six years, and am grateful for the opportunity to get to know you! As a queer and neurodivergent person, my career as a therapist has always moved in tandem with my commitment to social and economic justice. My work has taken me to settings with folks experiencing homelessness in South Los Angeles; with justice-involved adults in treatment court diversion programs in San Francisco's Tenderloin neighborhood; in young adult shelters for art therapy groups; with low-income immigrant parents of young children; and with teens and young adults with significant trauma histories.

Through all my roles I always commit to centering community and individual strengths that help arm my clients with the tools necessary to repel various types of systemic violence and oppression. I believe that therapy is inherently political because being human is political.

Charles Bewley

Charles Bewley

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Burbank, CA


More that fifteen years of teaching English and drama at a Los Angeles public high school taught me many things - primarily, it taught me how often people's barriers to achievement are not due to any lack of skill or ability, but rather from emotional barriers stemming from stress, adversity and trauma. So, I went back to graduate school to pursue a new career as a therapist so that I could help in a different way. My training and experience has focused on treating anxiety disorders, PTSD (including Complex-PTSD) and also couples - helping them to navigate challenges and triggers so that they can reset and reconnect.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a LGBTQIA Therapist in Fremont, CA

Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Fremont starts with identifying care that affirms your identity and matches what you want support with. You may be looking for help with gender identity, sexual identity, coming out, relationship concerns, family stress, anxiety, depression, or trauma. As you compare therapists, look for bios that mention LGBTQIA+-affirming therapy, affirmative therapy, gender-diverse experience, or training related to transgender and gender-expansive care. The right fit should reflect both clinical training and a clear commitment to respectful, identity-affirming care.

Fremont has a range of mental health care options, though LGBTQIA+-affirming therapists may be fewer than general therapists in some local areas. Virtual appointments can expand your options beyond nearby offices while still keeping care accessible from home. As you narrow your search, consider whether the therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your schedule, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading each profile can help you see whether a therapist explicitly works with LGBTQIA+ communities and how they describe their style, specialties, and session approach.

Therapy in Fremont can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before booking. Headway helps you find LGBTQIA+ therapists in Fremont who match your preferences and offer upfront cost estimates after you enter your insurance details to confirm coverage for your specific area and plan. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
