As your therapist, my approach is
person-centered
, empathic, and free of judgment .
My approach is holistic, intuitive yet gently direct. I provide a safe, non- judgmental environment where my clients feel comfortable expressing themselves. My goal is to help my clients align with their authentic selves. I assist with bringing the cause of blockages that limit satisfying ways of living to surface. I am eclectic in my practices and utilize therapeutic techniques as they fit my clients needs. By incorporating holistic methods and mindfulness techniques in working with my clients I consider clients mental, spiritual and emotional health in the work we do together as I always work with my client as a “whole” being.

My values as a therapist are rooted in
person-centered
and collaborative frameworks.
You may be seeking support in moving toward a more preferred version of yourself, your life, and your relationships. You may be questioning facets of your identity such as your gender or sexuality, or perhaps you are feeling stuck with a particular challenge in the way you connect to yourself and others. You may be struggling with how to heal and make sense of past trauma or abuse, or are finding yourself resorting to patterns of thinking and feeling that are not congruent with your values. Perhaps you are struggling to define the parameters of a non-monogamous relationship or a consensual power exchange relationship. Welcome.

Associate Clinical Social Worker, ASW, MT-BC

Depending on an individual's needs and preferences, I draw upon various practices including mindfulness, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, as well as
person-centered
and attachment-based approaches.
As an associate social worker and board-certified music therapist, I strive to walk alongside you as you navigate challenges, celebrate successes, and grow more into your whole and dynamic self. I provide therapy that is anti-racist, queer and poly affirming, sex-positive, kink aware, body-positive, and trauma-informed. I offer genuine warmth and a space for people who are experiencing life transitions and those wanting to heal from trauma, depression, or anxiety. As a member of the queer and trans* communities, I am passionate about working with people who are exploring sexuality, gender expression, and gender identity.

There are so many reasons folx come to therapy, but most often it is because folx notice something isn’t working quite right, and they would like a change. My practice is rooted in the belief that therapy is a form of liberation. Understanding your emotional landscape, locating yourself in society, and exploring capitalism’s impact on you can help find your authentic self. My work is relational,
person-centered
, and trauma- and strengths-informed. Each person is unique, so we will collaborate to tailor your therapy to meet your needs. I draw upon the following therapies: humanistic, attachment, liberation, feminist, and CBT.

My irreverent,
person-centered
, no BS approach will give you the tools you need to find contentment.
You're so tired of hiding. From the outside, you're a success; performing at a high level, getting everything done. Your friends and family see you as the strong, reliable, responsible one. What they don't see are your sweaty palms, pounding heart, hyperventilation, and insomnia. Your brave face hides the feelings of panic and anxiety inside. Honestly, it feels like you're coming unglued. Add to that the unhealthy coping with things like alcohol, doom scrolling, or eating too much. You're starting to shut down, and you can't help but wonder "Is this just me? Is there any hope?". It can be so hard to admit that we need help.

Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, LMFT

People come to therapy with unique needs, concerns, and life circumstances. Through the process of self-inquiry, I help clients gain insight and develop effective coping skills to move through a challenge with greater ease and understanding. My therapeutic style is warm, compassionate and curious about one's experience. I use an attachment based,
person-centered
approach that offers individuals and couples clarity around repetitive patterns that cause pain, conflict, and limit growth.

Being in relationship with others is challenging and can be a difficult act to maintain. But only in relationship can we grow closer to learning to live in community and remain connected to others. I am comfortable with alternative types of relationships, as well as all people on the gender spectrum. Together we will explore ways that are best for you to learn how to communicate in a way that enables you to live more authentically and develops connection with others.

“Bridging is the work of opening the gate to the stranger, within and without.” – Gloria E. Anzaldúa. You’re at an inflection point. A chasm appears insurmountable. The ground has shifted; you’re on rocky terrain. The trail’s end is hazy, but you catch a glimpse: the outline of a hopeful future, somehow. Neglect can match abuse in its decimation of the soul. So let us nurture those neglected pieces of yourself too long ignored.

I work with adults and young adults who identify as QTPOC, Non-Monogamous, Kinky, and/or those that are a part of the adult entertainment industry. Within these identity categories, I have specific experience helping folks process around marginalized experiences, microaggressions and trauma, navigation of medical transition services, and communication about their relationships and identities. I also have experiences supporting straight and cis identified clients struggling with shame, alternative relationships, and supporting QTPOC loved ones.

Now accepting new clients! On this journey of life, there are times you may feel alone, feel stuck in unwanted patterns, or feel overburdened by your challenges. Maybe it is hard to even identify what is causing pain, or what is not quite feeling right. You are not alone in these struggles. I know from my own experiences that it can be hard to reach out for help and do this work of self-reflection and self-discovery, but it is so worth it. You are worth it.

Hello, I'm Rory. I am nonjudgemental, down to Earth, kind-hearted, and supportive. Have you survived something awful and need help healing and moving on? Does the past haunt you and block you from success and healthy relationships? Do you feel frustrated with yourself and want to change your patterns? Are you going through back to back crises and just need help navigating through the stress and uncertainty?

Pre-Licensed Professional, MSW

Our relationships with other people & with ourselves are the bread and butter of life. The way we feel in our bodies influences those relationships, and vice versa. My background is in sex therapy & the connection between our bodies & relationships. I previously worked with people charged with sex offenses, & together we identified risky behaviors & emotional triggers to increase self-awareness & prevent future harm. The same therapeutic approach can be helpful in decreasing other harmful behaviors, including disordered eating. I'm an LGBTQIA+ affirming & sex-work-positive therapist, & willing to write gender-affirming Tx letters.

As a queer person myself, I have a passion for working with LGBTQ, and particularly Trans and Non-Binary adults and adolescents. I can help you reach your goals by providing a safe space to explore what might be holding you back and helping you identify an authentic path forward. Together we can work on slowing down, making time for yourself, and getting through this one day at a time. We can work together to tap into your internal strength and resiliency and identify tools to cope with whatever challenges you're experiencing.

Have you been looking for a therapist who reflects the non-binary or immigrant experience in America? Hoping to find someone that shares these identities so you can open up in the ways you'd most like? Hi, I'm Khan and an immigrant of Trinidad & Tobago, queer, and a non-binary licensed therapist in Long Beach, CA. I work with many folx that feel this way, and I'd love to offer my expertise and sincere therapeutic support.
Abbi Abshire
Marriage & Family Therapist Associate, AMFT

I have had the privilege of working with a diverse set of clients with a wide range of backgrounds and needs. I offer a supportive space that counters the normativity within this culture that often is oppressive to people based on their identities. I recognize that what healing journey one person, relationship or family may need may be different than another and help to support you on that journey. In addition to being neurodivergent and transgender myself, I have also supported folks who are neurodivergent, queer and/or plural.
Brandon Simpson
Marriage & Family Therapist Associate, AMFT
Verified
When we talk about our sexuality, it can be challenging. We might feel embarrassed or judged, so the topic just isn’t broached- especially if some issues are going on with what you’re feeling and/or dealing within yourself around this area of your life. I want my nonjudgmental space for open dialogue to help pave the way toward making changes necessary to thrive again! Therapy is about so much more than just knowing what’s going on; it’s also about understanding and creating a compassionate space to explore your feelings and thoughts. By working together, we can explore your past experiences and collaborate on how to move forward.

Teletherapy
Teletherapy and Online counseling have grown enormously as a medium for therapy since the advent of social distancing. Most therapists are happy to provide sessions by video or phone.
All professionals are licensed to provide video therapy to clients within the State in which they hold their license. Cross State licensing exists, but is rare.
So if you're a client in California, this list of teletherapists are licensed to provide therapy to you online (by phone, video or text based chat) because they are within your state. They are sorted nearest to furthest, with professionals in California listed first.
Teletherapy via phone or video can be very similar to conventional in person sessions. The message is the same, even if the medium is different. There are some advantages in the form of convenience, lack of travel and being in comfort of your own home. Set against those, professionals find it more difficult to read non-verbal signals of their clients, and you may find you yourself can be more easily distracted.
