Sandy Kong
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT 119380
As a strong active ally of the community, therapy with me involves, affirmative, knowledgeable, and non-judgmental approach that centers on creating a safe environment. I do my best to stay educated and aware of the systemic, social, and political influences on this community, while also fostering collaborative therapeutic relationships with clients who identify as members of the LGBTQ+ community. Key practices include using inclusive, gender-neutral language, respecting self-identified pronouns, validating experiences of stigma, and avoiding assumptions that problems are inherently linked to sexual orientation or gender identity - all with compassionate care.

Foothills Psychotherapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LMFT, AMFT, ACSW
Our therapists all have experience working with LGBTQ+ individuals. We have therapists that are able to write letters for gender affirming surgeries, understand that the sexuality spectrum isn't just gay or straight, and won't need you to explain your pronouns every time you meet. We understand that your identity isn't the issue, it is the way people respond to you and your fear of navigating a world that is increasingly unsafe for anyone who deviates from the societal norm.

Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Psychotherapist & Psychoanalyst
As a fellow queer person, I offer a space where identity can be explored slowly and honestly in the therapy room. Our work will pay attention to the unconscious ways your history, culture, and lived experiences shape how you understand yourself in the world. Therapy becomes a place to make meaning of what has been carried quietly, soften internal conflict, and move toward a way of living that feels more authentic.

Dr. Ingrid Solano
Psychologist, PhD
I am a member of, and advocate for, the LGBTQIA+ community. I am proud to provide affirming therapy and I have expertise in working with the experiences of sexual and gender minority individuals, and couples using CBT, DBT, and the Unified Protocol for emotional disorders. Together we can explore the impacts of coming out, internalized stigma, minority stress, intersectionality, discriminations, difficult family-of-origin relationships, giving and receiving support, families of choice, intimacy, sex, gender/sexual fluidity, identity, transitioning, and so much more. Together we can navigate the challenges of living in an oppressingly heteronormative world in order to form a healthy and affirming queer identity. Or, we don’t explore it at all - but we remain aware that they are out there and remain mindful. I am also proud to consider and provide capacity evaluations and letters of support for my transgender clients seeking gender affirming surgery.
I practice from an affirming, feminist, and anti-racist philosophy. This means that I unconditionally accept and value my clients’ gender, sexual, racial, cultural, and other identities. My practice takes into account each person’s unique experiences within contexts of social and systemic oppression, and the impact on your relationships. I practice from a place off cultural humility and allyship to black, indigenous, and other people of colour.
I have expertise in treating relationships and individuals navigating the impact of minority stress and discrimination. I practice affirming therapy that explores greater awareness and understanding of the ways in which emotional experiences and responses to experiences contribute to what is going on for you and your relationships. Navigating these challenges in your life has promoted strength and resilience in coping, paving the way for creative and successful approaches for managing future challenges. I help clients see these strengths in themselves, and create harmony and balance in their lives. I bring a stance of genuine curiosity and cultural competence that includes your different identities and their intersectionality.

Rory Valentine Diller
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., LMFT Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #139783
LGBTQ folks face a tidal wave of implicit messages, conditioning, oppression, and trauma amidst growing up in a heteronormative and sometimes unsafe world. I work with clients to dis-identify from toxic cultural conditioning and move towards empowerment and self-celebration. I have much experience working with LGBTQ survivors of violence, sexual trauma, substance and alcohol abuse, family trauma, poverty and abusive relationships as these issues affect LGBTQ people at disproportionate rates compared to our heterosexual, non-trans peers.

Glendale has the highest concentration of Armenian Americans of any city outside Armenia, with a community that brings a distinct cultural framework to mental health — including intergenerational trauma from the Armenian Genocide, strong family and community cohesion, and particular patterns of help-seeking that therapists need to understand to provide effective care. The city is also home to a large Iranian, Korean, and Latino population, giving its therapy community a genuinely multilingual and multicultural character. USC Verdugo Hills Hospital and the Glendale Adventist Medical Center provide institutional mental health resources alongside a private practice community concentrated in the residential hills and Brand Boulevard corridor. Glendale's proximity to the entertainment industry means some therapists also work with creative professionals navigating the psychological pressures of careers in film and television.
