Hello, I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, licensed since 2008, with experience working with diverse populations ranging from children to older adults. I provide a warm, safe, and nonjudgmental space where clients can feel supported and understood. I especially enjoy helping individuals navigate life transitions such as starting college, graduating, changing jobs, adjusting to civilian life after the military, or entering retirement. My areas of focus include women’s issues, anxiety, depression, and building self-acceptance. I look forward to supporting you as you move toward growth and balance in your life.
I’m an LMFT who uses a psychodynamic, client-centered approach. I help young adults better handle life’s stressors, keep perfectionism in check, and grow their self-esteem. I want to help people feel more connected to themselves and others. I enjoy working with Gen Z and Millennials who are navigating their unique paths in life. I mostly work with anxiety, whether it stems from familial stress (due to filial piety or trauma) or societal pressures (due to gender expectations or political factors). I also work with social anxiety and self-esteem issues.
Hi! I'm Olivia. I've been in therapy practice for six years, and am grateful for the opportunity to get to know you! As a queer and neurodivergent person, my career as a therapist has always moved in tandem with my commitment to social and economic justice. My work has taken me to settings with folks experiencing homelessness in South Los Angeles; with justice-involved adults in treatment court diversion programs in San Francisco's Tenderloin neighborhood; in young adult shelters for art therapy groups; with low-income immigrant parents of young children; and with teens and young adults with significant trauma histories.
Through all my roles I always commit to centering community and individual strengths that help arm my clients with the tools necessary to repel various types of systemic violence and oppression. I believe that therapy is inherently political because being human is political.
Hello! I’m Najwa Azizi, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassion and support. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, mood disorders, stress, and burnout through a personalized and collaborative approach to care. With a background in both behavioral health and critical care nursing, I understand the importance of treating the whole person — emotionally, mentally, and physically. My goal is to create a welcoming, judgment-free space where clients feel safe, heard, and empowered to grow, heal, and reach their full potential.
Growing up near a national park, I am consistently reminded of and influenced by the importance of nature on our physical, mental, and emotional health in my mental health practice. As an LMFT, I've worked with a variety of populations, most of whom experienced major trauma or complex trauma, and aid them in reconnecting to their sense of self and safety. I received my MS from California Lutheran University with a specialization in trauma and BA from CSU Chico. I have been licensed for 4 years and have provided therapy for the last 8 years including an associate and traineeship.

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.
