Find a Therapist in United States

As an LGBTQ+ person, you've probably gotten pretty good at figuring things out for yourself. But then life throws you a curveball you can't simply think your way through, problem-solve your way out of, or grit your teeth and muscle through forever. Maybe you're grieving someone you lost - or something that others don't even recognize as a loss. Maybe your relationship has changed, your health isn't what it used to be, or you're caring for someone you love and wondering how much longer you can keep going. You may be functioning just fine on the outside, while feeling pretty damn exhausted on the inside. I'm Dr. Weston Donaldson, a gay psychologist and founder of Proud Heart Therapy Services, LLC. I help LGBTQ+ adults coping with grief, loss, trauma, and complicated transitions that come with getting older. Being part of the queer community means I bring a familiarity with our relationships, chosen families, histories, and experiences that can make these challenges more complex. You shouldn't have to spend your therapy sessions explaining why your relationships matter or why a particular loss has hit you so hard. For me, the magic sauce of therapy is relationship. You can bring the messy feelings, the contradictions, the things you're not sure you're supposed to say out loud. My job isn't to tell you how you should feel or hand you a generic set of coping skills. It's to help you understand what's happening, reconnect with your own wisdom, and figure out what you want your life to look from here on out. You don't have to stop grieving, have everything figured out, or know exactly what you need before reaching out. If you're tired of going through this time alone, let's talk. I'd be glad to hear what's going on and see whether we're a good fit.  

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and my goal is to make that step feel comfortable, productive, and worthwhile. I’m a clinical psychologist who believes meaningful progress happens when therapy feels like a genuine working relationship built on trust, openness, curiosity, and collaboration. I bring empathy, creativity, and a down-to-earth style to our work, adapting therapy to who you are rather than expecting you to fit a particular approach. Clients often tell me they feel at ease with me quickly, which can make it easier to talk honestly about what isn’t working and understand the patterns that may be keeping them feeling trapped. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety or overthinking, relationship difficulties, performance pressure, unhealthy ways of coping, or simply feel that something in your life needs to change, we’ll work together to better understand what’s getting in the way and find practical ways forward. I especially enjoy working with people who are thoughtful and curious about themselves but want more than insight alone. If you’re looking for therapy that is engaged, collaborative, and focused on helping you translate greater self-understanding into meaningful change, I’d be glad to connect and see if we’re a good fit.  

As a relational therapist, I help individuals, couples, and families identify the patterns contributing to anxiety, depression, emotional overwhelm, and relationship challenges. My approach focuses on strengthening both your relationship with yourself and your relationships with others. Many of the clients I work with are thoughtful, high-functioning individuals who feel stuck in cycles of stress, perfectionism, disconnection, or life transitions. Together, we explore the emotional and relational factors shaping your experience and work toward greater clarity, confidence, and emotional stability. I provide therapy for anxiety, relationship concerns, identity exploration, and personal growth through a supportive, steady, and collaborative process. Clients often describe feeling deeply understood, gaining new insight, and developing tools that support meaningful and lasting change. If you are looking for a therapist who offers thoughtful, relational, and evidence-informed care, therapy can provide a space to reconnect with yourself and build more fulfilling relationships.  

This practice is custom-tailored for creative professionals who are dealing with the challenges of ADHD, Autism (Level 1), or Anxiety. We can help you get more things done, manage difficult emotions, and improve your relationships. We use clinically sound methods like Cognitive Behavior Therapy and other forms to help you take back control and empower yourself.  

You might be here because you’ve been called “too sensitive,” feel easily overwhelmed, or aren’t sure where you fit—especially as someone who is queer and/or asexual. You’re seeking connection with people who “get it” and a therapist who doesn’t need you to explain your culture, sensitivity, or identity just to be understood. As a Highly Sensitive therapist, I enjoy working with asexual, gray‑ace, demisexual, questioning folks, and sensitive introverts. My style is warm, collaborative, and validating. In our work, we’ll create a gentler space, where your boundaries are honored, your quirks are welcomed, and you’re treated as enough exactly as you are.  

I have had the honor of working as a Therapist for over 20 years. I have been privileged to share the life challenges and successes of hundreds of people. I am excited to have a profession where there are growth opportunities and effective tools available to help others to improve their lives.  

I work alongside my clients to help them feel curious and gain understanding about the things they struggle with and themselves as people. My hope is that our collaborative effort to understand all of you will allow you to find solutions to the challenges you face in your own unique way. I know this can be a intimidating task; I try hard to help you feel supported in it, so you have the space to be curious about parts of yourself that might be hard to face alone.  

Are you an ambitious, high-achieving teen or adult who can’t seem to quiet the relentless inner battles? You push yourself and show up for everyone, but still find yourself caught in spirals of self-doubt and the nagging sense that you’re never quite good enough. The racing thoughts and constant pressure to hold it all together are exhausting, and you’re tired of anxiety stealing yet another moment of your life? I get it—I’ve been there. If you’re ready to slow your thoughts, feel grounded and confident, and finally quiet the noise, I’m here to help you get there. My goal is to provide a protected, collaborative space—one where you can exhale, explore, and work through things at a pace that feels right for you. You can bring your whole self—your challenges, questions, and hopes—and know you’ll be met with curiosity, compassion, and respect. Therapy with me isn’t about judgment or “fixing” anyone—you don’t need to be fixed—it’s about building insight, practical tools, and confidence so you can live a fuller, freer life. Together, we’ll navigate anxiety, self-doubt, life transitions, and more, using evidence-based strategies with empathy and support—so you can feel empowered, resilient, and connected to yourself.  

Therapy is a chance to open yourself up to new ways of experiencing your life in order to get greater satisfaction from it. If you're struggling with worries, relationship boundaries, sadness, or overwhelm, I would like to help. Give me a call or drop me an email so we can talk about your situation.

I have also completed advanced Practitioner training in a number of alternative medicine/ healing modalities. I have worked with clients at all stages of life, both internationally, and nationally, across the continuum of traditionally defined mental-behavioral health care & educational settings (including higher education), as well as other settings (community-based, center-based, prisons, juvenile detention centers, homes, courts, etc.). At the present time, I am accepting clients on a case-by-case basis at my local, part-time, private practice online, only. My concentration and focus has shifted considerably in terms of the scope of services I am currently providing. If you are looking for other services, I would continue to recommend you search / use alternate designated contacts via the certification, licensing boards, and other directories/ forums which include currently available providers and groups. I will continue to look forward to working with each and everyone of my clients on an individualized/ personalized basis. The focus of my private practice will continue to work together to integrate practices from a variety of professional discipline areas with which I worked for 20 + years, formally and professionally in the public and private sectors, in addition to the additional learning acquisition I was able to achieve through recent, personal relevatory experiences with the sincere goal of helping others lead a more balanced life.  

I specialize in working with people who are depressed or dealing with addiction, (alcohol abuse and compulsive sexual behaviors in particular). Sometimes even just beginning to speak out loud about your struggles can start the process of change. In our work together, we won't just manage your symptoms; we will look deeper. By exploring how these challenges first took root, you can gain the clarity needed to make empowered decisions today. This combination of insight and action can create powerful and lasting change.

I returned to school later in life, initially to show my boys I believed in education. Took Psy 101 my first semester and as they say the rest is history. After 10 years in school, a year internship and finally receiving my degree the journey began. I have worked in adolescent group home, Tennessee State Prison, Nursing/Rehabilitation Homes and community mental health. I am now in my 3rd full year of private practice, and this is where I was meant to be. I know the struggles and my hope is to make it easier on others, as they navigate their struggles. No problem is too small or obstacles too large. At the end of the day my hope is to help people find who they want to be and to learn to be successful at that.  

Hi! I'm Dr. Miriam Adrianowicz. I offer in-person psychotherapy sessions in San Francisco. As a psychologist, I'm your partner on your path to greater wellbeing. This begins with establishing trust and safety in our therapeutic relationship, and from there, lasting change can occur. I aim to support and empower you as you do this important self-work, and I am dedicated to finding a treatment method that fits your needs as an individual. I work from the perspective that self-understanding is powerful and healing. The more intimately you know yourself, the better equipped you are to handle life's difficulties. I look forward to answering any questions you may have!  

While I work with adults and couples, I specialize in treating children and teenagers. I treat children and teenagers who are dealing with depression, who are suicidal, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, cutting, bipolar to name a few issues. I also work with high conflict divorces.  

We are a trauma therapy practice specializing in alternatives to traditional talk therapy for PTSD, grief/loss, and addiction. We offer various different treatments including EMDR, IFS, psychodrama, gestalt, expressive arts therapies, and more. The Phoenix Center for Experiential Trauma Therapy is named after the legendary figure of the phoenix that dies and is reborn from its own ashes – it is a symbol of transformation and resilience. The phenomenon of growing after experiencing trauma has been labeled “Post-Traumatic Growth”. While we cannot change the past, we can change how past experiences live within us. We also offer low-cost options with our graduate interns.  

You’re feeling stuck, disconnected, burned out, or just not like yourself. Maybe your relationships feel strained. Maybe work consumes everything. Maybe you’re wondering, is this really it?

But they’re carrying stress, loneliness, relationship challenges, self-doubt, or a growing sense that they’ve lost touch with themselves somewhere along the way. I help folks like you navigate that stress, depression, those relationship challenges, life transitions, parenthood, and the quiet loneliness that often comes with modern life. My approach is straightforward, practical, and jargon-free. Together, we’ll identify what’s keeping you stuck, strengthen your relationships, and help you build a life that feels more meaningful, connected, and aligned with who you want to be.

For almost twenty years, I have been compassionately helping people through life .

If you’ve found your way here, odds are something in your world might feel tangled, heavy, or out of alignment. You may love each other deeply and still feel stuck in painful patterns you can’t seem to escape. Maybe conversations escalate quickly, one of you shuts down while the other pursues, resentment keeps building, or trust has been damaged by repeated hurt, betrayal, or emotional disconnection. Over time, couples often begin feeling more like roommates, opponents, or strangers than partners. Whatever brought you here, you’re not alone and you’re in the right place to begin healing. In couples counseling, you’ll find a space where your nervous system can exhale—where we can slow down, untangle patterns, heal emotional injuries, and strengthen the threads that create secure, meaningful relationships. I specialize in helping couples slow down these negative cycles, rebuild emotional safety, strengthen communication, and reconnect beneath the conflict. My relationship counseling approach is attachment-based, trauma-informed, and grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Family Systems, and Gottman Method, helping partners move from blame and defensiveness toward understanding, responsiveness, and deeper connection. Whether you’re navigating chronic conflict, intimacy issues, infidelity recovery, parenting stress, premarital concerns, or the impact of trauma on your relationship, couples therapy can become a space where both partners feel heard, understood, and supported. I primarily work with couples and adults navigating relationship distress, attachment wounds, trauma, and emotional disconnection. I currently have availability for in-person and online sessions and would love to connect. Together, we’ll work toward creating a relationship that feels safer, more connected, and more resilient.
