North Hollywood Therapists specializing in LGBTQ Issues

Marissa Tunis

Life can feel overwhelming when you're weighed down by unresolved trauma, relentless anxiety, or the pain of grief. You might find yourself stuck in ruminations that keep you from moving forward—whether you're a high achiever or someone just launching - mental health issues hold us back from reaching our full potential. Navigating a painful breakup or struggling with people-pleasing, humans can find themselves in patterns they can’t seem to break. But great therapy is transformational.

Hayley Miller

I know what it's like to struggle with feeling safe in your body and not knowing why you feel that way. We together can separate the medical challenges from the mental health challenges. I can help teach you strategies to move through your trauma and eating disorder challenges to remain feeling safe in your body again. We can expand the uncomfortable feelings gently in session to help those feelings move out of your body and not return.

But we also all have the innate, inherent capability to heal, grow, & positively change. If you need guidance, validation, support, & greater insight, you've come to the right place.

I work with both individuals and couples who are hoping to grow and change out of the dysfunctional patterns that no longer serve them. Whether it be depression, anxiety, relationship issues, life transitions, or trauma, I help to build a secure and supportive therapeutic relationship to explore and work through these issues collaboratively and with respect for your courage for engaging in therapy. Its not always easy to face our pain head-on and to trust someone else to hold that space with us.

Alejandro Romero

Many of my clients come to me frustrated with their relationships, their career, or patterns they feel stuck in, and are feeling pretty powerless. The source of their pain is often contributed to being mistreated, not feeling fully seen, heard, and acknowledged by family, peers, society, and culture. My clients have a desire for personal growth, to find connection, and to build confidence.

Online Therapy

Carrie Covell

My clients are vibrant, intelligent individuals who sometimes face challenges regulating their emotions, controlling their impulses, maintaining their relationships, and being compassionate toward themselves. I also see people who struggle with overthinking, mood fluctuations, and low self-esteem. Often, folks reach out after losing a loved one (companion animals included), or in the midst of a conflict or transition.

Online Therapy

Carrie Rutman

I specialize in helping men navigate life transitions, anxiety, relationship challenges, career stress, and the pressure to meet expectations. For many men, seeking therapy isn't the first choice—it can feel unfamiliar or unnecessary. But that’s why it matters. Therapy is different from talking to friends. Friends mean well, but they bring their own biases. In therapy, the focus is all on you—a space to be honest without judgment and gain tools for real change.

My couples and individual clients have many varied backgrounds, professions, and world views. I consider my clients to be the experts on their own experiences as they teach me about their unique histories, cultures, orientations, and preferences. As a fine artist, I often work with creative clients such as artists, writers, directors, musicians, and actors. I look forward to learning about you and your own lived experiences.

I often see driven professionals in high-pressure environments. Many of my clients are men, trying therapy for the first time or continuing work they've already started. Clients generally come to see me to work through stress, anxiety (especially social anxiety), depression, life transitions and trauma. I'm also trained and passionate about working with the broader LGBTQ+ population.

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

Vanessa Setteducato

You're a people-pleaser, late-bloomer, self-explorer, or someone who values your inner life and wants to dive deeper. Adults who are creative, curious, and compassionate but struggle to apply those strengths to themselves consider me a good fit, as do those who crave relationships but find them to be more trouble than they're worth.

Online Therapy
