Walnut Creek 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.

Clinical Trainee, Master of Arts in Counseling; Master of Divinity
Sometimes our relationships with others, or ourselves, get stuck. We may have lost direction, purpose, or meaning, and we become unsure of who we are or who we are in relationship with other people in our lives. We feel alone, sad, or scared. Some of us become overwhelmed by naming these emotions. Some may choose to isolate ourselves and think we must navigate this life alone. In these moments, I believe we are invited to pay attention; when we do, we begin the journey toward growth and healing.

Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, M.A., MFT
In the best of conditions, orienting ourselves towards personal growth is challenging and requires focus, dedication, and support. During major life events, staying on this mindful path can become overwhelming and we may find ourselves unable to find our bearings. For over 12 years, I have helped clients navigate difficult life transitions, such as recovery from addiction, overcoming trauma, healing from grief, cultivating healthy relationships, and achieving developmental milestones.

Ever felt alone in a crowded room? Had an overwhelming feeling of wanting to cry? Have thoughts that keep you up at night? You are not alone, many struggle with depression and anxiety daily. These struggles cause poor performance at work, poor concentration in school and cause us to say things that we don’t mean to the ones that we love. In therapy, I can help you identify ways to improve your quality of life and create a safe space for you to overcome the barriers preventing your success.

Clinical Social Worker , SEP, LCSW 77882
I support my clients in honoring their unique identities, pay attention to their present moment, their bodily and minds states with presence and kindness (a simple working definition of mindfulness). My clients, in turn, can move lovingly towards their current struggles, mend and heal, clarify and envision, and grow and root in wisdom. They can also develop loving relationships with their chronic symptoms which can include: grief, stress, anxiety, depression, focus/attention, anger, etc.

Psychologist, PhD
Change is not easy. Maybe you want to make a big change or maybe it's about continuing on the path of a change you've already started. You may also not feel completely ready to change. Wherever you are- it's ok. People start therapy for a wide variety of reasons and everyone's path in therapy can look a little (or a lot) different. I can help get you started and we can work together in a way that is meaningful and results in change.

Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT #124607
I serve primarily LGBTQIA+ populations as a member of this broad community myself. Nonmonogamous and/or kinky folks also find a place of acceptance in my office. I utilize trauma informed practices and find that clients who have trauma in their background are frequently drawn to work with me because I do not shy away from what they're bringing with them. Because I am direct, I find that people who require direct communication and autistic people are well-served by my approach.

Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
If you are starting a new phase in your life, you feel lost, sad or anxious. Maybe you just feel "stuck" and want to figure out a new way of doing things. Perhaps you can't seem to get out of your head and you feel disconnected from everyone around you. If you just had a baby or you just lost someone. If you need help managing your children's behavior or you want to take your life on a different path. All of these are just a few of the many good reasons that bring people into my office.
