Santa Monica 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.

Kyana Barakett
Psychologist, PsyD
I work with everyday people who find it challenging to cope with their current circumstances. They may find themselves in repetitive cycles or re-experiencing similar conflicts. They'd like help to work through their emotional distress, and come to better know why they may feel and act as they do. Depression, anger, anxiety, or other feelings that are driving you to seek therapy are all messages to you. Together, we can begin to understand them.

The process of healing after trauma can feel daunting and frustrating. You might struggle with self-blame when things are not your fault. If you've experienced trauma, you may be feeling upset, easily triggered, stuck in survival mode, and having difficulty connecting to yourself and others. I help my clients understand their trauma history and weave a new narrative for their futures.

Katie Chaudry
Licensed Clinical Social Worker,
If you're a young adult looking for a holistic and practical approach to healing, we are likely a good fit for each other! I often attract individuals who are struggling with feelings of anxiety, past trauma, relationships issues, life transitions and personal growth because I have struggled in these exact areas myself. I value practicing what I preach and offer support in the ways that have been most helpful in my own life.

People seek therapy for so many reasons, but mostly we all want to feel loved, safe & understood. We want to feel a sense purpose & feel good enough as we are & yet so many of us struggle to feel these ways. Sometimes our lives look very different than we imagined & we need help making sense out of things. We might be feeling disconnected or numb, uncertain or alone. We might be questioning who we are or the direction we are heading & need to find some clarity, perspective or hope.

We all feel lost from time to time, but there’s always light at the end of the tunnel. I’ve been through my own therapy as a young adult when I was stuck in a bout of anxiety and panic attacks due to childhood trauma. Throughout my years of working with traumatized individuals, I learned first-hand about how childhood trauma can have a strong impact on adulthood. I can help you address unresolved trauma, in order for you to find passion, connection, and purpose in your life.
