Looking for one-stop shopping? Meds and therapy together - I do both. Guaranteed intake appointment within 2 days! Evening and weekend hours available. A provider you can reach directly, by text. Personal responses to all messages within 24 - 48 hours, always.

Thanks for reading this. I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner who works with clients ages 6 to 86 struggling with depression, anxiety, ADHD, borderline personality disorder, substance abuse and other issues. For some clients, I provide both therapy and medication management; for other clients, I work closely with their therapists to optimize their medication experience. I help clients to find stability and reduce suffering. LGBTQ-allied, polyamory-informed. All lifestyles welcome.

Depression and anxiety can be logical responses to difficult life events. Many adults who experienced losses and traumas in childhood have never processed these events and continue to suffer their impacts.

Therapy should help you identify the ways you hold yourself back from greater peace and success. We all pick up dysfunctional patterns along the way and need help to identify and change them. I would like to help you in this process.

Some things you've been carrying for so long they've started to feel like part of who you are. I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults who are navigating trauma, grief, loss, and the weight of experiences that don't just go away on their own. People of all ages, ethnic backgrounds, socioeconomic situations, gender expressions, and sexual orientations find a real home in my practice, including folks within the LGBTQIA+ community. Clients often tell me they feel genuinely heard in a way they haven't before.

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 Modesto, CA

Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Modesto starts with looking for identity-affirming care. The right therapist should have experience supporting LGBTQIA+ people across concerns such as anxiety, depression, identity exploration, relationship stress, trauma, and family dynamics. As you compare options, look for therapists who list affirmative therapy, WPATH training, gender-diverse experience, or LGBTQIA+-affirming care in their profiles. Those details can help you find a therapist whose training and listed specialties match what you want to address.

In a mid-size city like Modesto, local LGBTQIA+-affirming therapists may vary by availability, specialty, and appointment format. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still giving you access to therapists licensed in California. Some people prefer an in-person office, while others choose virtual sessions for schedule flexibility or privacy. Before booking, review each therapist’s bio for direct mentions of LGBTQIA+ populations, communication style, therapeutic approach, appointment availability, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.

Therapy in Modesto can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and understand your out-of-pocket cost before care begins. Headway makes that process easier by helping you search for therapists who are accepting new patients, compare bios, verify your insurance, and see estimated costs before you book. You can browse LGBTQIA+-affirming therapists in Modesto, review fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
