Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, MBA
Many LGBTQ+ individuals carry the cumulative impact of rejection, invisibility, or discrimination. Therapy focuses on understanding how these experiences affect the nervous system, attachment patterns, and internal self-talk. Using IFS, we gently unburden parts that have learned to protect through withdrawal, perfectionism, or hyper-independence. Our work fosters self-compassion, emotional regulation, and secure connection in present relationships.

San Jose, California therapist: Russell Wilkie, marriage and family therapist
LGBT Issues

Russell Wilkie

Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
Most LGBTQIA+ people have been subjected to ignorant and hurtful opinions – or worse, down right 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.

San Francisco, California therapist: Jessica Gioia, marriage and family therapist
LGBT Issues

Jessica Gioia

Marriage and Family Therapist, MA
If you or someone you’re close to belongs to the LGBTQ+ community, you deserve a therapist who shares your dedication to the healing and liberation of queer people everywhere. The community is vast, and an individual’s experience of their gender or sexuality are also impacted by factors such as race, ethnicity, class, religion, ability, and immigration status (to name a few). But for many of us, there is something about being in the company of other queer people that can jump-start a connection and allow us to express parts of ourselves that the rest of the world may not accept or understand. To feel appreciated and loved for these very parts can be extremely validating and essential to healing past wounds.
