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.

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.

Damon Dodge
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
LGBTQ+ individuals deserve therapy that recognizes their complete humanity. Whether addressing identity exploration, family dynamics, workplace challenges, or relationship concerns, your sexual orientation and gender identity provide important context rather than defining the problem. I offer affirming care that honors your lived experience while addressing whatever brought you to therapy. My training focuses on understanding minority stress, internalized oppression, and the unique resilience LGBTQ+ people develop.

Omer Harari
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I approach therapy as an anti-oppressive project. In my work supporting LGBTQ+ clients, in addition to identifying and managing the impacts of traumas, patterns, beliefs and narratives, we focus to identify the specific impacts of homophobia, transphobia, gender binaries, and other power structures that contribute to marginalization.

Hailey Goldberg
Registered Social Worker, Registered Social Worker (MSW), DBT-Linehan Board of Certification, Certified Clinician™
I am committed to providing a safe, affirming, and non-judgmental space for 2SLGBTQIA+ clients. I support individuals exploring gender identity, sexual orientation, relationships, self-acceptance, and the impact of minority stress, discrimination, or family rejection. My approach is grounded in respect, curiosity, and cultural humility, recognizing that every person's experience is unique. As a neurodiversity-affirming therapist, I also understand the importance of considering the intersection of identity, neurotype, culture, and lived experience. Whether you are questioning, coming out, navigating a transition, or simply looking for a therapist who will meet you with warmth and affirmation, I strive to create a space where you can show up authentically and feel genuinely understood.

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.

Oliver Drakeford
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CGP
As a gay therapist providing LGBTQ+ affirmative therapy in Los Angeles and West Hollywood for nearly a decade, I understand firsthand the unique challenges and strengths within our community. My specialized training in LGBTQ+ issues allows me to create an inherently affirming space where clients can explore identity, navigate coming out, address minority stress, and heal from experiences of rejection or discrimination without having to educate their therapist. Located in the heart of West Hollywood—where over 40% of residents identify as LGBTQ+—I offer both in-person and online therapy throughout Los Angeles, addressing everything from internalized homophobia and relationship dynamics to substance use and the lingering effects of growing up in a heteronormative world. Having worked at the Los Angeles LGBT Community Mental Health Center and trained extensively in LGBTQ+ affirmative approaches, I help clients move beyond survival mode to build authentic, fulfilling lives where their identity is celebrated rather than merely tolerated. My West Hollywood practice serves as a sanctuary where LGBTQ+ individuals throughout Los Angeles can process trauma, strengthen relationships, and develop the resilience needed to thrive in their truth.
