Rachel W. Friendly, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
It can be so hard to find affirming, safe spaces where we can explore our whole, authentic selves - where we can truly be all of us, in our largeness, our messiness, and our queerness. And especially these days, gender expansiveness can feel particularly scary. Gender trauma is real - but living inauthentically is excruciating. I work with queer and gender expansive adults who want to live their truth and explore their identities, but who might not be sure where to start. We can dig in to what may be holding you back, so that you can start to craft your truest, most beautiful life. We can investigate the internalized messages that may lead to shame or self-doubt. And we can work on replacing those messages with self-compassion, curiosity, and self-love. Together, we can help you to become your truest, most beautiful self.

Michael Pezzullo
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Most LGBTQ folks spend a significant portion of their lives living in secrecy, isolation and shame. As a result, empathic attunement and mirroring are completely absent from their everyday life experiences. Therefore, I take an actively affirmative stance when working with LGBTQ clients.

Campbell Teen & Family Therapy, Inc.
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LCSW, LPCC, ACSW, APCC, AMFT
LGBTQIA+
At Campbell Teen and Family Therapy, Inc. (CTFT), our theory has always been that one should not be judged based on their race, their religion, their gender or their sexual orientation. There is a high correlation between depression, anxiety and suicide in the LGBTQIA population and LGBTQIA youth are especially at risk. Risk of emotional abuse, predators on the internet, judgment, hate crimes and they often live-in fear of what will happen when they come out. Those that are out may only be out to certain people and have to hide it from others, creating a state of constant anxiety. Being an adolescent is difficult enough, an age where you don’t know who you are and are insecure.
Ready to get started?
No one should feel that they are judged when seeking therapy. CTFT is an LGBTQIA+ friendly practice and a safe place, free from judgement. If you or someone you know is struggling with any mental health issues, please know that we will not judge you and will accept you regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation or religion. Call now (408) 628-0532 to see if you could benefit from an assessment to see if therapy is right for you!

Whole Wellness Therapy is passionate about walking alongside our clients in their healing journey.

Ana Velouise, Perinatal Mental Health Specialist
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
The route to parenthood for LGBTQ+ families is layered and complex. Whether you are choosing to receive fertility treatment, have a surrogate, foster, or adopt, building a family as a queer person requires intention, resources, and targeted information.
In addition to the stress and bias that comes with engaging with heteronormative medical and legal systems, you may be navigating changes to your identity and relationships. I’m here to validate your concerns and experiences, collaborate with you to develop new coping skills, and notice the joys that come with expanding your love to include children.

As part of the LGBTQIA+ community myself, I am passionate about providing a safe, open-minded, and welcoming space for people of all backgrounds and identities. I have years of experience working with teens, young and middle-aged adults as well as family members of those who identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community. I thrive on helping others discover who they are and feel more empowered to be that person in every day life. Assisting my clients with building insight and understanding into your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors is an essential part of my therapy practice, and I provide evidence-based practice tools that you can use outside of therapy as well.

Samer Fawaz
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., AMFT
As a gay man living in Los Angeles for over twenty years, I have experienced the challenges of cultivating and maintaining a genuine sense of self while being bombarded with body image issues, homophobia, gay shame, and the hyper-sexualized competitive nature of the gay community. As gay men, our sexual currency can sometimes become the focus of how we see and place value on ourselves. This can lead to addiction, self-loathing cycles, self-harm, anxiety, and depression. I am passionate about helping you dismantle what society, and the gay community has led you to believe about yourself. Together, we will get to the root of what makes you feel centered, authentic, and grounded. I am highly invested in creating a judgment-free space for you to feel safe to talk about anything you feel is relevant to your growth.

Leila Tabatabaee
Psychologist, PhD
I have been a part of and worked with the LGBTQIA community for decades. Each of our stories is unique. While sexuality and gender identity can be an important part of our journeys, they are also not the beginning and the end of them. I am confident in supporting you wherever you are in your journey.
