LGBTQIA+ Affirming Online Therapy in California

You shouldn’t have to spend the first part of therapy explaining your identity, relationships, language, or the realities of being LGBTQIA+. The focus can start with what actually brought you in and what you want help with.

Many of us absorb ideas about who we should be before we are old enough to question them. Family, culture, religion, gender expectations, relationships, and social norms can all become part of how we see ourselves.
 

A Narrative Therapy-informed approach can help you question those ideas, understand where they came from, and decide which ones still fit. The goal is to give you more say in how you understand yourself and the choices you make.

For individuals: Support for identity, anxiety, depression, self-worth, relationships, intimacy, trauma, family or religious expectations, and life transitions.
 

For couples & partners: Support with communication, recurring conflict, connection, intimacy, identity-related stress, and relationship changes.

Sessions are provided by telehealth for clients located anywhere in California, including Los Angeles, San Diego, the San Francisco Bay Area, Sacramento, and communities where affirming care may be harder to find locally. Ember & Bloom accepts Aetna, Blue Shield of California, Optum/UnitedHealthcare, and Sharp Health Plan. Coverage varies by plan.
