David Andreone
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MFT
I'm well-versed in the pain-points that come with being queer in America -- the discrimination, the family shame, the religious judgment, the micro-aggressions, and more. Love is love, acceptance is acceptance, and you're perfect regardless of who you love.

Sarah Wagner LMFT Corp
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, MBA
Many LGBTQ+ individuals carry the cumulative impact of rejection, invisibility, or discrimination. Therapy focuses on understanding how these experiences affect the nervous system, attachment patterns, and internal self-talk.
Using IFS, we gently unburden parts that have learned to protect through withdrawal, perfectionism, or hyper-independence. Our work fosters self-compassion, emotional regulation, and secure connection in present relationships.

Samer Fawaz
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT #149147
As a gay man living in Los Angeles for over twenty years, I have experienced the challenges of cultivating and maintaining a genuine sense of self while being bombarded with body image issues, homophobia, gay shame, and the hyper-sexualized competitive nature of the gay community. As gay men, our sexual currency can sometimes become the focus of how we see and place value on ourselves. This can lead to addiction, self-loathing cycles, self-harm, anxiety, and depression. I am passionate about helping you dismantle what society, and the gay community has led you to believe about yourself. Together, we will get to the root of what makes you feel centered, authentic, and grounded. I am highly invested in creating a judgment-free space for you to feel safe to talk about anything you feel is relevant to your growth.

Russell Wilkie
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
Most LGBTQIA+ people have been subjected to ignorant and hurtful opinions – or worse, downright abuse. I have been bullied myself, so I have a passion for helping people work through this kind of trauma. The judgement, discrimination, rejection, or outright aggression can be crushing. Having a person deeply understand this and give you solutions can be extremely helpful and soothing. In addition to these and many other unique issues, you likely also have everyday issues in relationships, or depression or anxiety and I’m hear to help with those too.

Chris Guthrey
Psychologist, PsyD
As a committed straight ally, I support gay men in navigating mental health challenges by fostering an environment of acceptance and understanding. I recognize the unique social differences gay men face, including stressors like societal stigma, internalized homophobia, and discrimination, which can contribute to higher rates of depression, anxiety, and substance use. By providing culturally sensitive care and a safe space for open dialogue, I aim to address these issues effectively, promoting well-being and resilience.

Chad Cryder
Psychologist, PhD
As a gay male, I understand the struggle, the feelings of isolation, and shame that can arise from coming to terms with our gender and sexual minority status. However, it is from our experiences where we find our strength and growth. You are not alone, and no matter where you fall within the LGBTQI+ community, I believe in your inherent greatness and want to help you believe it.

Mia Turner
Therapist, MA, RYT, ASDCS, LMFT, NPT-C, CMNCS, CMIP
Therapy for LGBTQIA2S+ individuals seeking a space where identity does not need to be explained, defended, minimized, or translated. My work supports people navigating gender, sexuality, relationships, family dynamics, community, spirituality, belonging, life transitions, and the ongoing process of living more fully in alignment with who they are.
This work is grounded in intersectionality, liberation, and the understanding that distress often emerges not from identity itself, but from the cumulative impact of navigating environments, systems, relationships, and cultural narratives that have not always made room for difference. Particular attention is given to the experiences of queer, trans, nonbinary, neurodivergent, disabled, chronically ill, highly sensitive, BIPOC, multicultural, and otherwise multiply marginalized individuals whose identities and experiences often exist across multiple worlds at once.
Exploration may include the impacts of masking, self-silencing, code-switching, hypervigilance, rejection, invisibility, family expectations, religious experiences, cultural belonging, internalized shame, identity-based trauma, and the exhaustion that can come from continually adapting in order to be accepted, understood, or safe. It may also include making space for joy, pleasure, desire, authenticity, connection, creativity, chosen family, and the parts of yourself that have had fewer opportunities to be fully expressed.
My approach integrates EMDR, somatic therapy, mindfulness, parts work, expressive arts, neuropsychotherapy, attachment-focused therapy, and liberation-oriented healing. Rather than focusing on who you should become, the work centers listening more deeply to who you already are. Support is offered in cultivating self-trust, nervous system safety, embodied authenticity, meaningful connection, and a life that feels more aligned with your values, relationships, needs, and ways of moving through the world.
