Lesbian Therapists in Windsor Hills, CA
We are experiencing times where our identities, whether, personal, relational, racial, or even sexual are called into question and challenges our very way of being. Whether its work, family, or peer-related our stress can sometimes feel debilitating and we feel like we are on the cusp of giving up. In a world that lacks cultural-sensitivity and the ideal is to be self-reliant and independent, sometimes it’s difficult to acknowledge that we are in fact social beings that need help, especially when we are being impacted mental, physically, and emotionally…three aspects of the human experience that society says we need to be intact to thrive.

My goal is to plant seeds of change in people who are seeking growth and insight. It's often difficult to seek assistance and once the search begins it is often halted if the right connection isn't made between the client and therapist. I am here to provide a safe space where feelings to be processed and perspectives can be explored.

Good therapy is transformational. You may feel stuck in anxiety that never fully quiets, emotionally exhausted despite holding it together, or caught in relationship patterns you don’t fully understand. Therapy creates space to slow down, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and begin making meaningful change rather than simply hoping things will improve. I specialize in working with teens, adults, and couples navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges. I provide an LGBTQ+ affirming space where all parts of you are welcome.

Every person has times of struggle--especially the person who doesn't conform to society's expectations. Here is what I believe: a living relationship with the right therapist can lead to increased understanding (and emotional freedom) in your life. I've seen this process in action; it takes effort. But it's incredibly fruitful, resulting in more flexible ways of thinking and feeling about your past history and current challenges.

Hi, I’m Ava, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California specializing in OCD and related disorders. I help my clients manage intrusive thoughts, compulsions, and anxiety while also navigating the complex systems and identity-related stressors that contribute to individual mental health.
OCD can feel overwhelming and relentless, leaving you stuck in cycles that are hard to escape. It may also leave you with thoughts that feel deeply shameful and taboo. You might wonder if therapy will actually work. Fortunately, OCD is highly treatable and—with the right approach—real change is possible.

Lesbian Therapists
What is lesbian-affirming therapy?
Lesbian-affirming therapy is a type of mental health support that fully affirms and reflects a client's lesbian identity. It is rooted in acceptance and does not attempt to change or question an individual's sexual orientation. In this type of therapy, clients work with a therapist who understands the unique experiences of lesbian women. This support is especially important, as research shows that lesbian individuals face higher rates of anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges compared to heterosexual populations. Lesbian-affirming therapy acknowledges that lesbian individuals may encounter specific stressors—such as coming out challenges, family rejection, workplace discrimination, and minority stress—that require specialized understanding and intervention. Lesbian-affirming therapists often work with clients across all age groups, from adolescents navigating their emerging identity to adults and older individuals addressing life transitions and relationship concerns. Many therapists also provide couples therapy for lesbian partners, helping them navigate relationship dynamics, communication challenges, or external stressors that may impact their relationship. It is important to note that therapists provide talk therapy and counseling services but do not prescribe medication—if medication is needed for conditions like depression or anxiety, they will coordinate care with a psychiatrist or primary care physician who can provide psychiatric medication management alongside therapeutic support.
Why should I see a lesbian therapist?
Some clients prefer to work with lesbian therapists who may bring personal lived experience to the therapeutic relationship. Choosing to work with a lesbian therapist can offer a deeper sense of connection, comfort, and shared understanding. A therapist who identifies as lesbian may require clients to give less background explanation—whether it’s about navigating romantic relationships, feeling unseen in certain spaces, or processing the impact of past relationship challenges. However, a non-lesbian therapist with strong training and a sincere commitment to LGBTQ+ affirmation can be equally effective. The most important factor is finding a therapist who respects your identity and fosters trust, safety, and understanding. However, a non-lesbian therapist with strong training and a sincere commitment to LGBTQ+ affirmation can be equally effective. The most important factor is finding a therapist who respects your identity and fosters trust, safety, and understanding. Additionally, many lesbian-affirming therapists can connect clients to other providers or community-based resources—such as bisexual support groups or LGBTQ+ organizations—that offer additional affirming spaces for connection.
How do I find a lesbian therapist?
The Psychology Today online directory is a helpful tool for finding lesbian-affirming therapists. You can use search filters to identify therapists who specialize in LGBTQ+ care and work specifically with bisexual clients. You can also filter by clinical specialties, therapeutic approaches, accepted insurance, session costs, and languages spoken to find the right fit. Look for profiles where therapists explicitly mention working with lesbian clients, or where they describe their approach as identity-affirming, inclusive, or trauma-informed. Many providers will also list their own identities, which may help you find someone with shared lived experience if that is important to you. You can also look for credentials or continuing education in areas such as LGBTQ+ mental health, trauma-informed care, and intersectionality.
