LGBT therapists in Roseville, CA

Hello! My name is Jeffrey Steer, and I have been a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist for 17 years. My education and training have given me experience in working with a variety of issues related to mental health, and I especially enjoy working with clients who struggle with stress, anxiety, and challenges of daily life. I also have an interest in working with men's issues and clients who identify as LGBTQIA+.

Are you struggling to have harmony in your relationships? Does having ease in your life seem like a far-fetched dream? Are you feeling overwhelmed with the state of the world and all you have to do? Welcome, you're in the right place! I have been in your shoes and the first (or twenty) step is always the hardest. As someone who has learned to balance multiple cultures, I know what it can feel like to straddle various parts of your identity. I have first hand experienced feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, angry, and at a complete loss for how to navigate the intensity of my emotions. This has informed my practice and work with clients where I strongly believe that our emotions guide us to understanding ourselves in a new light. Asking for help can be difficult, especially in a culture that values productivity over personality.

You may be seeking support in moving toward a more preferred version of yourself, your life, and your relationships. You may be questioning important facets of your identity, or wondering how to locate and uproot the seeds of painful and complicated emotions. Perhaps you are curious about navigating a different type of relational structure with your loved ones, or you may be feeling stuck with a particular challenge in the way you connect to others. My role as a therapist is to provide support and facilitate insight that will allow you to work toward your personal goals.

H.E.R.O.E.S. Therapy (Helping Each-other Recognize Our Extraordinary Selves) offers a fun & creative way to explore mental health through popular culture, and gain skills needed to fight the villians and monsters that haunt all of us. If you identify as a nerd, geek, introvert, outcast, weirdo, etc., I am here for you. We'll discuss favorite characters from books, movies, shows, video games, & social media. We will play alongside each other and use real-world moments to gain insight into behavior, emotions, sensations, & thoughts.

I have a passion for helping people navigate life's challenges. Seeking help can feel like a big step, but it's also a powerful one. I offer a collaborative and nonjudgemental space for discovering strengths and with helping you feel empowered.

If you are feeling lost, alone, overwhelmed, or stuck, I am here. If you are exploring your sense of self, identity, relationships, or sexual orientation, I am here. If you are hoping to cultivate greater self-compassion or reconnect with your authentic self, I am here.

I believe every person deserves a space where they feel seen, heard, and accepted. My practice welcomes people of all genders, sexual orientations, relationship structures, abilities, professions, and backgrounds. It is a privilege to walk alongside clients as they navigate life's challenges, discover their strengths, and move toward healing and growth.

I know how heavy life can feel when you’re carrying pain, uncertainty, or self-doubt. But I believe, as a wise old wizard once said, “Happiness can be found even in the darkest of places, if one only remembers to turn on the light.” My role is to help you find that light again. I work with Gen Z and Millennial adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and more. Through integrative, culturally responsive care, I combine evidence-based psychiatry with holistic strategies to help you feel heard, supported, and empowered to create a life that aligns with your true self.
