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.

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.

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.

Pamela Pine
Therapist, Ph.D.

Palmdale is the Antelope Valley's second major city, home to major aerospace assembly and testing facilities — the region builds and tests some of the country's most advanced aircraft — and to a large, diverse commuter population making long daily trips into Los Angeles. Aerospace workforce pressures, commute strain, and high-desert isolation shape local stress, with Latino and Black families making up much of the community and culturally competent care in demand. Regional providers and telehealth are the mainstays of access.
