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.

April Mollner

I help individuals address layers of trauma, intergenerational trauma, and current life issues. My hope is to help people on their journey of the 'authentic self'. I support clients in exploring and affirming their identities in relation to sex & gender. I recognize the importance of creating an affirmative space where clients can explore their authenticity free from judgment or stigma. I work collaboratively with clients navigating the complexities life can hand us.

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.

We all have wounds. Whether they be from complex trauma, grief, chronic pain/illness, relationship difficulties or other hardships in life, we all have emotional scars. 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.

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.

Lucy Cotter

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.

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.
