Find the right LGBTQIA+ therapist in California

Adrina Wilson

My approach to therapy: I work primarily with EMDR and IFS/parts work — two approaches that help you process trauma and quiet inner conflict without having to relive every detail. Therapy with me is warm, non-pathologizing, and queer-affirming. You don't have to perform or explain yourself; we just get to work at your pace.

Dr Megan Mansfield

My approach to therapy: Grounded in IFS, somatic therapy, & feminist theory, I go beyond talk therapy to work with your nervous system where wounds are actually stored. You'll feel like you're doing deep, meaningful work with a caring & confident guide genuinely on your side. I'll meet you as a whole person & never lose sight of the fact that we're here to do sacred work together.

Robyn Buresh

My approach to therapy: my openness to all things human. It's important to me that you feel comfortable, seen, and safe in therapy. My work in trauma, sex therapy, and identity often intersect with one another.

Dakota Westlake

My approach to therapy: I use mindfulness, DBT, CBT, and ACT frequently in sessions. I typically see my clients for 3 months-2 years and we get deep, real, and raw to start to heal. I'm not a therapist that is going to just sit back we are going to reveal, heal and prevail.

Tara McGrath

My approach to therapy: My clients are LGBTQIA+ and often struggling with the residue of a religious past. Many are coming out later in life. That residue shows up in relationships, self-worth, and behavior. We take time to assess your needs and find our footing together. My approach is conversational. Our relationship is an investment, and I don't take that lightly.

Dr. Jen Bachtold

My approach to therapy: I use a humanistic, solution-focused, and cognitive-behavioral model that puts you first and includes CBT, ACT, IPT, strength-based, trauma-focused, culturally-sensitive, relapse prevention, and motivational interviewing.

Ellen Ottman

My approach to therapy: I blend somatic therapy, talk therapy, and mindfulness to help clients deepen self-connection and foster healing. I'm also trained in Brainspotting and Ketamine-Assisted Therapy.

Larry Woodland

My approach to therapy: I use a variety of methods including psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. My job is to follow my clients but also provide a gentle push to assist in their growth.

Kimberly Cotton Associate Clinical Social Worker Supervised by Dr. DeAndrea Knight LCSW 91696

My approach to therapy: I help you move through overwhelm so life feels lighter. Using mindfulness, present-focused and person-centered therapy, and harm reduction, I offer a safe, supportive space for healing. When you’re ready to feel more grounded and empowered, I’m here to help.

Andrew Conway

My approach to therapy: I believe that engaging in health and wellness while practicing self-care empowers individuals to heighten more self-awareness, providing guiding direction towards learning, skillset development, and facilitates opportunity for the initial change process to occur.
