Pleasanton 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.

Alyx MacTernan
Counselor, Ed.D., LPC, LPCC, LMHC
LGBTQI youth who experience family rejection, bullying and violence in school, work, or their community are at an increased rate of engaging in suicidal behavior. Older LGBTQI persons, regarded as an invisible population, report experiences of grief, isolation, elder abuse, and barriers in accessing health care. Acts of violence occur towards transgender persons in the United States of American every two minutes. Many of these acts of violence go unreported due to the sense of fear.

Elena Duong
Psychologist, Psy.D. (PSY31813)
Growing up, you often feel like you do not belong. You try to perfect your mask to the outside world and blend in like a chameleon. You learned to survive in this world, becoming what others want you to be. Once you realize you are living someone else’s life, not yours, you feel lost. It affects how you feel about yourself and makes it difficult to look forward to the future.

Stephanie Lee
Licensed Clinical Social Worker,
If you desire connection and intimacy, not just in your romantic life, but in all of your important relationships, I'd love to work with you! I focus on relationships because I believe that the root of almost all of our emotional struggles stems from broken relationships. In an era of material abundance, our greatest first world problem has become loneliness. I help people get more connected with themselves so they can connect more deeply with others.

Sobia Saleem Psychotherapist
Associate Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, AMFT
The experience of being transgender and non-binary is often pathologized by the medical community. I’m here to listen to you and your experience—the entirety of it. I have written numerous HRT and gender-affirming surgery letters. I’ve also worked with clients to repair the harm and violence of being misgendered. Polyamorous people and those who practice ethical or consensual non-monogamy are often stereotyped—poly relationships can, in fact, come in many, many forms. I’m here to support you!
