Josiah Peratoner

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Irvine, CA


I'm Josiah — a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) offering in-person sessions in Irvine and telehealth sessions 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.

Jonathan Klein

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Los Angeles, CA


I'm a Marriage and Family Therapist based in Los Angeles and love this work. I came to therapy through an unconventional path — nearly a decade in film and photography, work as a youth counselor, and service in the military — all of which deeply shaped how I understand people and their stories.

I earned my master's degree from Pacifica Graduate Institute, where I focused on psychodynamic and depth-oriented approaches. My thesis centered on ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, a specialty I've continued developing through advanced trainings I've completed.

I work with individuals, couples, adolescents & families across a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I have a particular love for working with creative professionals, veterans and young adults. I'm LGBTQ+ affirmative and love working with folks from the queer community.

My practice spans traditional talk therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) — including psychedelic integration support for those processing experiences outside of our work together. I see clients in person in Atwater Village in Northeast LA, and virtually throughout California.

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 an LGBTQIA Therapist in Moreno Valley

Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Moreno Valley starts with looking for identity-affirming care that fits your needs. A therapist who supports LGBTQIA+ clients may help with concerns related to gender identity, sexual orientation, coming out, family or relationship stress, anxiety, depression, or trauma. As you compare options, look for therapists who list experience with affirmative therapy, gender-diverse care, WPATH training, or LGBTQIA+-affirming support. The right match is about more than general therapy experience — it can also include language, approach, and a clear understanding of the communities a therapist serves.

Moreno Valley has a growing mental health care market, but affirming therapists may be more limited depending on schedule, location, and insurance. Virtual therapy can expand your options across California while still giving you access to therapists who understand LGBTQIA+ concerns. When narrowing your search, review whether a therapist is accepting new clients, offers appointment times that fit your schedule, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can also help you see whether they explicitly mention LGBTQIA+ populations, describe their therapy style, and explain what sessions may look like.

Therapy in Moreno Valley can be expensive without insurance, which makes in-network coverage an important part of the search. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and offer virtual or in-person appointments. You can review bios, enter your insurance details to see estimated costs, and book directly when you’re ready.
