Dennis Sapire

Alexis Hollingsworth
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I have worked with many clients struggling with their gender and sexual identities, often riddled with fear about what it would mean to explore this side of themselves. Together we can explore the many challenges you may be facing when it comes to either your gender, sexuality, or both and how we can help you to live a more authentic life for you.

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.

Dr. Eric van der Voort
Psychologist, PsyD, CST
As a psychologist treating individuals of Gender, Sexuality, and Relationship Diversity (GSRD), my practice is inclusive of those of all genders, sexual orientations, identities, kinks, relationship structures, and behaviors between consenting adults. I provide stigma-free, affirming, high-quality individual therapy to those in the LGBTQ+ and GSRD communities. I am committed to helping you feel safe, valued, and deeply respected.
Could you use a safe space to talk about your thoughts, feelings, challenges, and goals? Maybe you’re feeling confused about your sexual and erotic identity and attractions. Perhaps you’re seeking relationship help from someone who understands the challenges, stigma, and discrimination you face. If you find yourself outside of the strictly heterosexual, cis-gendered, and/or monogamous boxes, then you’ve come to the right place! No judgments. Just an offer for a strong support system with a unique knowledge base and skill set to help you on your journey.
If you are seeking help from a GSRD-affirming therapist or an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist, call me today. I would be happy to speak with you about how therapy might be helpful in reaching your goals.
