Los Angeles Therapists specializing in LGBTQ Issues

Jesse McIntosh

I offer compassionate, solutions-focused therapeutic care to individuals and couples, especially those experiencing depression, identity/esteem issues, or patterns of relational instability. With roughly three years of clinical training from the L.A. LGBT Center and over a decade as a high school teacher, I have particular experience with the challenges faced by adolescents, young adults, and members of the LGBTQ+ community, although I’m eager to work with anyone who feels I could be a match.

Seth Stewart

I accompany clients as they address anxiety, depression, trauma, and challenging life changes. Together, we work to increase insight, practical skills, and self-awareness through a lively engagement with the "less visited" parts of self that we often take for granted. My treatment approach is based on awakening deep compassion and curiosity about ourselves and the world.

You may feel uncertain about how to heal, and that's okay. Let's begin the journey with an open heart and a courageous spirit. We will work to recognize the impact past experiences have had on your life. We will collaborate in facing trauma-related symptoms like anxiety, depression, and difficulty connecting with others with self-compassion. I will help you embrace the healing process and build trust that positive change is possible.

Travis Bauer

I see many clients who feel stuck and unable to alter their life in a way that reflects their values, causing them to feel sad, on edge, or numb. They are suffering a great deal, and often their needs seem unclear. This can look like constant worrying, dreading the future, or being caught up in the past. I use a frank and kind style to empower clients to find meaning and hope as they navigate the complicated, often oppressive systems of our world.

I work best with clients exploring their sense of self and personality, navigating cultural identity and intersectionality, or healing from complex trauma and formative relationship challenges. I specialize in supporting LGBTQIA+ individuals and those in nontraditional relationships, providing an affirming, inclusive space. My practice also addresses issues related to sexuality and sexual well-being, fostering a safe environment where all aspects of identity are honored and explored.

Abigail Colyer

I work with individuals who want to look inward, explore what is important to them, and learn tools to overcome anxiety, pain, addiction, and trauma, and strive to build a therapeutic alliance based on trust, authenticity, warmth, and ease. Through trust and a strong alliance, I empower my clients to engage with helpful coping skills, improve their relationships, and increase self awareness/compassion to overcome challenges and find peace.

Kelsey Milano

I work with people who feel like their lives are a mess. Sometimes this sense of chaos has been lifelong. Other times something has happened that completely upends the structure of a person’s life, leaving them to pick up the pieces. The people I work with don’t fit into a neat diagnostic box. They often struggle with issues across a number of domains, whether eating, substance use, career, identity, and of course relationships. I also work with many people who are queer and/or artists.

Rubin Khoddam

I strive to come from a place of compassion and empathy because, as humans, we all have patterns, messages, and lessons that show up in our lives. The more conscious and mindful we can become of these patterns, the more freedom we can have from them. My goal in therapy is to utilize evidence-based treatments to help you understand these themes so that you can gain the tools, insights, and skills necessary to live the life you want.

Online Therapy

Ana Hauser

I understand that life’s challenges can feel overwhelming and isolating. My goal is to help you feel seen, heard, and empowered to take control of your emotions and relationships. Together, we’ll create a path toward healing and growth, allowing you to live a life that truly reflects your values and aspirations. I am dedicated to helping clients develop effective tools for emotion regulation & interpersonal effectiveness.

Tracy Vadakumchery

Have you ever been told that you're the "Black sheep" of the community or your family, "Whitewashed", "Too South Asian", or "Not Brown enough"? Maybe you're not South Asian, but you feel like you don't belong in your community. You belong right here! I go by "The Bad Indian Therapist", because as someone who was raised Indian and Catholic, I've also been called these things too. Sometimes it makes us feel isolated, and we withdraw from the world. It doesn't have to be that way!

Online Therapy

Isaac Martinez

All my clients come from very different ranges of needs. I specialize in clients who struggle with mental health and with substance abuse. A lot of clients have come back after completing treatment because they were so satisfied with the individualized treatment plan based on their needs.

Kayna Cassard

Anxious or painful sex impacts more than just sex. It keeps you from having the relationship connection and intimacy you truly desire. When date nights are on the calendar, instead of feeling excited, you have dread and hope it doesn’t end in disappointment or a fight. It also affects more than just dating. Living a passion-filled life becomes a challenge when sexual confidence feels so far out of reach. You know you need answers but have no idea where to look.

Online Therapy
