Santa Cruz, California therapist: Rory Valentine Diller, registered psychotherapist
LGBT Issues

Rory Valentine Diller

Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., LMFT Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #139783
LGBTQ folks face a tidal wave of implicit messages, conditioning, oppression, and trauma amidst growing up in a heteronormative and sometimes unsafe world. I work with clients to dis-identify from toxic cultural conditioning and move towards empowerment and self-celebration. I have much experience working with LGBTQ survivors of violence, sexual trauma, substance and alcohol abuse, family trauma, poverty and abusive relationships as these issues affect LGBTQ people at disproportionate rates compared to our heterosexual, non-trans peers.

Santa Monica, California therapist: Michelle Parrella, licensed clinical social worker
LGBT Issues

Michelle Parrella

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Are you struggling to figure out your identity, be seen, and live your life authentically? Does the desire to be yourself bring feelings of anxiety, low self-esteem, and isolation? You want to stop feeling empty and disconnected. You want to feel comfortable in your own skin and live with purpose. It takes work to love yourself and trying to assert your identity can feel overwhelming. Feelings of low self-esteem and shame may be unconscious as a result of existing in a world that unjustly marginalizes you. Anxiety, low self esteem and depression might show up for you as… Masking or shrinking yourself in social, familial, and/or professional spaces, Maintaining toxic relationships for the sake of “connection” or avoiding relationships altogether, Reliving trauma, whether from your past or through day to day microaggressions, Feeling isolated and excluded due to homophobia, transphobia, or gender-role stereotyping by others, Experiencing internalized homophobia as a result of systemic programming, lack of representation, oppression and heteronormativity. With therapy you will stop living in the shadows of expectations projected onto you, be able to set healthy boundaries and create meaningful relationships with yourself and others. Together we’ll explore your identity, your values, increase your self awareness and build confidence to create connection and transform your life.
