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.

Elena Duong
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Acceptance and kindness is incredibly important in LGBTQIA+ spaces. For many, these spaces are a refuge from judgment, where people can show up as their full selves without fear. Practicing acceptance means honoring diverse identities and experiences, even when they differ from our own. Kindness ensures this acceptance is felt, not just stated—through listening, respect, and support. Together, they create environments where individuals can heal, grow, and build genuine connection.

Phillip McCulley
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, CSAT
I provide LGBTQ affirming therapy for individuals and couples who are navigating coming out, self acceptance, and the impact of sexual orientation or gender identity on family relationships. These experiences can bring a mix of relief, fear, grief, and hope, especially when family responses feel uncertain, unsupportive, or complex.
In therapy, I offer a space where you can explore your identity at your own pace without pressure or judgment. This may include working through internalized shame, fear of rejection, or questions about how and when to come out. I also help clients navigate conversations with family members, partners, or loved ones in ways that prioritize emotional safety and clarity.
For many people, this work involves redefining boundaries, strengthening self trust, and learning how to remain connected to others without compromising who they are. Whether you are seeking acceptance, repairing family relationships, or grieving the loss of hoped for support, my goal is to help you build a more grounded and authentic relationship with yourself and with the people in your life.

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.
