Palo Alto Therapists specializing in LGBTQ Issues

Name: TherapyDen LLC
Price range: $

Just like any other group, the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and questioning (LGBTQ) community faces mental health issues and unique challenges. However, LGBTQ individuals are almost 3 times more likely than others to experience a mental health condition, such as depression or anxiety. Additionally, more than half of individuals who identify as transgender experience depression or anxiety. The LGBTQ community is also at a higher risk for suicide. Young people are even more at risk, as they may experience a lack of support at home and fear, hatred or prejudice in school. If you are a member of the LGBTQ community and are facing mental health challenges, you don’t have to suffer in silence. Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s LGBTQ experts and get help today.

Hannah Joharchi
Psychologist, PhD
You're freaked out and in scarcity mindset. You feel like you carry it all and people just don't see how much you're trying and what you're really going through on the inside. I so hear you. You're over there wondering "why don't they get me?!" and I'd like to help you move to "wow, they see me!" and more importantly I want to help you get to "phew, NOW I SEE ME." I work with folks to get the love they always wanted within and ask for it in more digestable ways.
