LGBTQ Therapists in Santa Barbara, California

Finding a lesbian, gay, trans, or queer-identifying therapist can be one of the most important factors in an LGBTQ person’s therapist search. For many, sexual orientation and gender identity can be an important part of therapy (for example, coming out to family or friends, or navigating the LGBTQ community); for others, it may not be the focus of therapy. But seeing a therapist who has an understanding of LGBTQ experiences at a personal level can be empowering, and reduce the amount of explanation needed of their unique experiences.

They specialize in a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, family relations, trauma, and sexuality and gender and provide LGBTQ affirming therapy.
