I’m a first generation Latinx/e, bilingual, and LGBTQ+ affirming therapist creating space for clients to experience radical self-compassion and express themselves fully. I invite clients to discuss, in English, Spanish, or spanglish, how their worldview and relationships are influenced by their culture. I believe radical self-compassion involves affirming all types of identities. I value authenticity, knowing neither clients nor myself, need to be perfect.
I graduated with a master's degree from Chapman University in Marriage and Family Therapy in 2019. Since 2018, I have worked with clients in community mental health and private practice settings. Clients have been a part of the Latinx/e community, young adults in college, and young professionals.

Hello! I am Glenda Dillingham, a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist. I have been practicing for over 30 years, helping empower clients to thrive in spite of adversity. I specialize in helping survivors of trauma to heal.
Some struggle privately. Some turn to close ones but end up more perplexed or hurt. For 27 years I have offered therapy that unwinds pain, anxiety, depression, ptsd opening doors to new joy, peace, presence and fulfillment Using IFS, ACT & AEDP-Aspects, EMDR, CBT, PTR-influenced, Hypnotherapy, Somatic, Expressive (art/dance/vocal/writing/drama therapies) I draw upon my LMFT and my PhD in Expressive Therapies.
I arrive as a human first, therapist second. I consider myself a deeply attuned feeler and a lover of animals. My personal process deeply influences my process as a psychotherapist. Navigating complex trauma, navigating the world as a deep feeler, and returning to being in my body are core processes where I have transmuted pain into spaciousness.
It takes real courage to take this first step toward prioritizing your mental health, and I want to honor that. Beginning therapy can feel vulnerable, unfamiliar, or even intimidating, and I understand that. Maybe you’ve spent a long time in survival mode, developing ways of coping that helped you get through hard experiences but may no longer serve you. That can show up as disconnecting from yourself or others, struggling with boundaries, or carrying a story about yourself shaped by cultural or relational expectations. Wherever you are, we can start exactly where you are.
Hi, I'm J! I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 25 years of experience working with individuals and relationships across a range of settings, from community mental health to private practice. My approach is interactive, dynamic, and deeply engaged, because I believe real progress happens when therapy feels like a genuine partnership. Whether you're navigating long-standing challenges or facing something new, I'm here to help you move forward. I currently see clients via Telehealth and can't wait to connect with you!

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Stockton
Searching for LGBTQIA therapists in Stockton starts with finding care that is affirming, relevant, and matched to your needs. An LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist may support people navigating identity, relationships, family dynamics, stress, anxiety, depression, or gender-related concerns. As you compare therapists, look for clear experience with LGBTQIA+ populations, affirmative therapy, gender-diverse care, or training such as WPATH-informed care. A therapist’s listed specialties and bio can help you see whether their background fits what you want to discuss.
Stockton has a mix of local therapists, and virtual appointments can expand your options when affirming therapists near you have limited availability. You may want an in-person office near your home, work, or school, or you may prefer virtual sessions that fit your schedule. Beyond specialty, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and any identity or background details that matter to your sense of fit. Reading profiles before booking can show how a therapist describes their approach, communication style, and experience with LGBTQIA+ care.
Therapy in Stockton can be a significant expense without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, review insurance options available for your specific plan, and offer clear next steps. You can enter your insurance details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, review therapist bios, and choose a free phone consultation when available. This makes it easier to find an LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist in Stockton who fits your needs, schedule, and plan.
