I believe that everyone deserves to be heard, regardless of their background or circumstances. Whether you are struggling with excessive worry or negative thoughts, overwhelmed by schoolwork as a student, supporting a family member with autism or developmental disability, or facing challenges as a member of a marginalized group in society, it is common to feel hopeless and worthless at times. However, you do not have to give in to these feelings.
I have a passion for helping individuals heal from trauma and navigate changes in their life. I have extensive training in trauma informed modalities, and have had excellent outcomes.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Los Angeles
Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Los Angeles starts with identity-affirming care. Look for a therapist whose training and listed specialties match what you want support with, such as identity, relationships, family conflict, anxiety, depression, or trauma. Some therapists may mention affirmative therapy, WPATH training, gender-diverse experience, or work with LGBTQIA+ clients in their profiles. These details can help you find someone with relevant experience, not just a general openness to LGBTQIA+ care.
Los Angeles has a large mental health care market, with therapists across neighborhoods like Hollywood, Silver Lake, Koreatown, Westwood, and Downtown LA. That range can make it harder to narrow the search. Consider whether in-person care fits your commute, transit access, and schedule, or whether virtual therapy gives you more options across the LA area. As you compare therapists, look at appointment availability, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how clearly their bio describes work with LGBTQIA+ people, LGBTQIA+ couples therapy, gay couples therapy, or related concerns.
Therapy in Los Angeles can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for LGBTQIA+ therapists in Los Angeles who are accepting new patients, compare bios, choose virtual or in-person appointments, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can review therapists who match your needs, accept your plan, and offer a time that works for you.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
