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.

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.

Bonnie Rae
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I was in the LGBT specialization during my graduate studies at Antioch University (it was the first graduate LGBT psychology specialization at the time). I then went on to train at the LGBT Center, become a gender and sexuality educator and consultant for other practices, and a graduate psychology instructor who taught an ongoing workshop called "Lesbian Love and Liberation, Working with Lesbian Clients." My practice is known for our work with LGBTQ individuals, couples, partners, families and parents. We are not only LGBTQ affirmative, we are LGBTQ specialized and trained.

Leila Tabatabaee
Psychologist, PhD
I have been a part of and worked with the LGBTQIA community for decades. Each of our stories is unique. While sexuality and gender identity can be an important part of our journeys, they are also not the beginning and the end of them. I am confident in supporting you wherever you are in your journey.

Alexis Cabrera
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC, LMHC, LPC
I am engaged and alert with my clients. I support your growth while Frustrating your defenses- I work to confront my clients in their blind spots, because (as a New Yorker) I understand that speaking from a place of love may not always mean people-pleasing. But with the warmth of my California Licensure (c;) I work to be fluid and flexible, using somatic interventions to develop and cathart Embodied Trauma. Sometimes the history lives in the present.

Omer Harari
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I approach therapy as an anti-oppressive project. In my work supporting LGBTQ+ clients, in addition to identifying and managing the impacts of traumas, patterns, beliefs and narratives, we focus to identify the specific impacts of homophobia, transphobia, gender binaries, and other power structures that contribute to marginalization.

Jennie Steinberg - feminist, queer-affirming therapist
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC, PMH-C
I am a queer-affirming therapist, and I’ve been working for 20 years with clients who identify as queer, gay, lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, asexual, transgender, nonbinary, poly, and kinky. I believe that there is magic across the entire gender, sexual, and relationship minority spectrum. My guiding principle is that if you aren’t harming anyone and you feel good on the inside, you’re probably doing okay. I support queer clients in navigating identity questions, coming out, navigating oppression, being misgendered, being outed, struggling with visibility in a heteropresumptive culture, intersectionality, reconciling privilege, the stress of having to play educator, navigating systems while queer, and navigating fraught family relationships. I also support queer clients in managing depression, anxiety, trauma, work stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, body image, parenting stressors, boundary-setting, self-esteem, self-compassion, managing anger – in other words, the same things I work on with my cishet clients, but in an affirming and supportive environment. For more information I can support you in all your queer glory, reach out. I look forward to hearing from you!
