Jesse Whittle-Utter
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #79783
As a queer-identified therapist who has worked with the LGBTQIA+ community for my entire career, I offer a safe, informed, and empathic partnership in helping you heal and thrive. Trauma and the quest for happiness are nearly universal, but the unique challenges and minority stress that LGBTQIA+ people feel shapes our emotional lives in particular ways.

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.

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.

Shirley Johnson,
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CYT
As a trained sex therapist, I have deep respect for the journeys of the LGBTQ experience and acknowledge they are all not the same. Whether it is about communicating with one's partner, coming out to family, or exploring a budding sexuality or desire - I offer supportive and affirmative therapy to rise in confidence and compassion.

Antioch is an East Contra Costa city that has become a major affordability destination for Bay Area families, including many Black and Latino households priced out of Oakland and beyond, now connected by BART's Delta extension. Long commutes, economic strain, and the challenge of building community infrastructure behind fast growth shape local mental health needs. County behavioral health services and the wider Bay Area market, plus telehealth, provide care.
