Tustin Therapists specializing in LGBTQ Issues

Talia Kokonian

Hi! My name is Talia Kokonian, I am currently a therapist intern, pursuing my master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University. Life moments can be challenging and it can be difficult to carry the stress on our own. My speciality is supporting people with anxiety and ADHD, supporting the LGBTQ+ community, and supporting people that are navigating stress. My approach to therapy is to provide a safe and supportive space. I am available to see clients through telehealth.

Heather Iannone

My LGBTQIA2S+ clients are acutely in tune with authenticity. At times, this quality can cause life to feel heavy and overwhelming. The worry, stress or fear can cause folx to feel stuck. The things that once helped, no longer work. Many of my clients have experienced depression, anxiety and trauma. Our journey together can help navigate these things and create a map for what is next.

I offer a safe space for your pain and heartbreak, whether you long for a deep change or want a short-term symptom relief now. I support clients who struggle with high stress and anxiety, heartbreak of grief and loss, effects of childhood, generational and relational trauma, and help couples and relationships resolve conflict, improve communication and restore trust. I support high achieving teens and high functioning adults struggling with exhaustion, burnout, perfectionism and self-doubt.

You are a young person, feeling lost feeling uncertain about your place in the world. You’re really trying to figure out what healthy relationships feel like. You want to be healthy you’re just having a tough time knowing what that actually looks like and feels like - you’ve been receiving messages about your body and your self worth from people who claim to love you or are supposed to love you. Social media, movies, friends, family – there’s so much pressure to be constantly ‘on’.

Do you feel misunderstood in relationships and therapy spaces? My practice is a sanctuary for those navigating complex intersectional identities. I specialize in supporting neurodivergent individuals, LGBTQ+ couples, and BIPOC clients experiencing microaggressions. If you're seeking care that honors your cultural background, neurotype, gender expression, and authentic relationship patterns rather than trying to 'fix' you, you've found a compassionate guide.

Morgan Sheldon

I have particular passion for serving those with complex body relationships, who want to understand their ADHD or autism better, who crave support as they deconstruct their spiritual histories, who are frustrated by vague therapy answers, who fear they are "too much" or "too different". Overall, those who want to find the beauty in the darkness rather than denying the darkness, and who want to sit crooked and talk straight.

Desiree Bramlett

I specialize in anxiety, depression, and trauma. I am also experienced in healthy peer and intimate relationships, co-dependency, LGBTQ+, and adoption related issues. My approach is eclectic with an emphasis on CBT. Identifying faulty core beliefs in particular while working to accurately shift them can benefit overall progress. Increasing positive coping, self care, and mindfulness are also essential in my work. To start, we will explore what you want and discuss how we can get you there.

I have worked with adults and families facing life transitions, depression, domestic violence, anxiety, relationship issues, and acculturation challenges. I also help children and teens navigate peer pressure, self-esteem, and transitions. I love witnessing clients’ “aha moments” when they recognize their strengths and resilience. Everyone is an expert in their own life, and being part of your journey is a privilege.

All my clients come from very different ranges of needs. I specialize in clients who struggle with mental health and with substance abuse. A lot of clients have come back after completing treatment because they were so satisfied with the individualized treatment plan based on their needs.

Francine Way

What I love about therapy is the journey, helping my clients, as they identify and enact value driven choices, accomplishing goals that promote actualizing the meaningful life in which they envision. In a welcoming, judgement free, sex-positive, affirming environment, together in partnership with you. You and I will mindfully customize my approach to meet your unique needs and comfort level, to bring about growth and change that goes beyond relieving distress.

Shelly Crosby

You're exhausted, overwhelmed, and tired of feeling anxious and on edge all the time. You've thought about calling a therapist, but you're worried that no one can understand what you're feeling or what you've been though. You think you should be able to handle it all on your own, but things aren't getting better. Deep down, you know that it is time to ask for help. Even if you've felt this way for a very long time, it is possible to feel better... You don't have to do this alone.

Sabrina Fish

Do you struggle with feeling at loss with your sense of self, which affects your relationships and your day-to-day life? Do you feel overwhelmed by your mind constantly thinking about the what-ifs of life? Do you feel disconnected from yourself and others? Now more than ever women are feeling anxious, uncertain, and overwhelmed about how to "manage it all" and take care of themselves. Constantly putting everyone else before you can lead to feeling burnt-out and disconnected from mind and body.
