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.

Allen Shamon
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
LGBTQ+ individuals may experience minority stress related to societal prejudice, discrimination, and stigma, which can have significant impacts on their mental health and well-being. I help clients identify and cope with the stressors they face, develop resilience and coping strategies, and process any trauma related to discrimination or harassment.

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.

Pre-Licensed Professional, AMFT
Much of my clinical training has been with the LGBTQIA communities. I specialize in helping clients navigate coming out experiences, anxiety, depression, trauma, and bereavement. I also recognize the ways societal oppression impacts marginalized voices. In therapy, we value creating a safe, warm, trusting environment where you will develop new insight into your life and cultivate new strategies to meet your goals. You are not meant to do this alone and we would be honored to help you along your journey!

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.

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.

Greta Klaber
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ma, LMFT
As someone who is part of the queer community, I bring both personal and professional commitment to creating a therapeutic space that is affirming, informed, and supportive of LGBTQ+ clients. I understand how identity, relationship structures, and cultural context shape our inner lives, and I approach this work with respect, curiosity, and care. I have experience working with clients across the gender spectrum, including trans and genderqueer individuals, as well as those in non-monogamous or non-traditional relationships. Especially in today’s political climate, I believe it’s essential for therapists to be not only affirming, but also actively informed and engaged. My approach is collaborative, non-pathologizing, and centered on your lived experience.
