I'm John, a licensed psychologist practicing in Utah and California. I started out in information technology because I loved computers and making sense of data, but over time I found I enjoyed working with people more than working with machines, so I went back to school and earned my doctorate in clinical psychology (PsyD). Since then I have worked in counseling centers, outpatient clinics, hospitals, and schools, and I have really enjoyed applying the science of psychology to help people understand themselves and navigate the challenges of everyday life. I see teens, young adults, adults, and older adults for concerns including depression, anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, life transitions, relationships, men's mental health, and questions of religion and spirituality.
I have been a licensed psychotherapist practicing for 38 years, mostly focusing on treating depression, anxiety disorders and stress management. I work a great deal with couples as well.
Always happy to help!

Hello, I’m Charles, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) dedicated to helping adults build healthier, more fulfilling lives. I work with individuals and couples facing anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, grief, relationship difficulties, self-esteem concerns, and major life transitions.

I’m dedicated to helping clients create meaningful change through a collaborative, compassionate, and goal oriented approach. I specialize in crisis intervention and draw from proven, evidence-based therapies (EMDR, IFS, CBT, DBT, ERP) tailored to your unique needs. I believe every person’s story is unique, and I work to create a safe, supportive space where you can explore challenges, build on strengths, and move toward the life you want.

I'm Josiah — a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing via telehealth across California. My work centers on three communities I care deeply about: veterans navigating the often-invisible work of coming home, LGBTQ+ individuals and couples looking for a therapist who genuinely gets it, and parents who are doing their best while carrying more than they show. I'm Transgender Allied, trained in trauma-informed and multicultural frameworks, and I work with individuals, couples, and families. Before anything else, I work hard to make sure you feel like yourself in the session — not a diagnosis, not a file.
Hello! My approach is centered in the belief that authentic connection with ourselves and others heals. Therapy is an opportunity to dive deep, to develop greater self knowledge, to come into wholeness, accepting and integrating all of our parts and aligning our lives with our Truth and the fullness of who we are. I look forward to the opportunity to support you.
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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a LGBTQIA Therapist in Modesto
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.
