I’m Kali, and I have been licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist in California since 2007. I want to help you have the relationships you want with yourself and with others. I have an MA in Applied Behavioral Science, with a concentration in Systems Counseling. What this means for you, practically speaking, is that as I work with you, I am also thinking about all of the other people, family and friends, co-workers and acquaintances, who are a part of and influential in your life, and you in theirs. I’m also thinking about the relationship you have with yourself, and how all of the parts of you, past, present and future interplay with each other and the world around you. Which is a long-winded way of saying I want to help you have the relationship you want with yourself and with others. I want you to find happiness, joy and health. I'd like to help you identify and meet your goals, and I am a warm, supportive presence whether or not you have any idea as to what your goals might be.
I love helping people heal through insight, humor, and giving them a place to feel heard. Everyone needs help sometimes, and having a a guide with abilities directed towards healing mental and emotional wounds means you will walk away with tools to last a lifetime. I am always learning new skills to aid more people. We will get through this together!

Hi there, my name is Jose Carranza, LFMT, maneuvering through life and work with thoughtful intention and an open heart. I have approximately a decade of experience working in the mental health field and about 5 years practicing as a therapist. I'm certified in Trauma-Focused CBT and have lengthy experience working with mood, behavioral, and developmental disorders.
I have found my own personal healing to be intimately connected to nature, and it is here that I believe that we can all begin to rediscover our intrinsic humanity and let go of those things that distract us from our higher selves. In my spare time, I work as an outdoor educator and manage my own private practice and guide Outdoor Retreats
I believe it is helpful and important to translate what is discussed in session and in telehealth meetings into lived experience and real change.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA+ Therapist in Long Beach, CA
Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Long Beach starts with identity-affirming care. A therapist with experience supporting LGBTQIA+ people may help with concerns related to identity, gender expression, relationships, anxiety, depression, stress, or trauma. Look for bios that mention affirmative therapy, gender-diverse experience, WPATH training, or work with transgender, nonbinary, queer, bisexual, lesbian, gay, intersex, or asexual communities. These signals can help you find a therapist whose training and listed specialties match what you want to focus on in care.
Long Beach has a broad mental health care community, with options across local offices and virtual care. Virtual sessions can expand your search if you want LGBTQIA+-affirming care but prefer more options than nearby offices provide. As you compare therapists, consider appointment times, whether they are accepting new patients, therapeutic approach, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand how a therapist describes their style, experience with LGBTQIA+ populations, and what sessions may feel like.
Therapy in Long Beach 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 search for LGBTQIA+ therapists in Long Beach who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, choose between virtual and in-person appointments, and see your estimated cost before you book. You can compare therapists by specialty, availability, and insurance fit, then book directly when you’re ready.
