Are you tired of bad "dates" with therapists, finding yourself explaining basic parts of your identity and feeling like therapy's going nowhere because of it? Maybe you're kinky, disabled, BIPOC, neurodivergent, queer, non-monogamous, all of the above, or don't subscribe to labels. It's time to alter the narrative towards solidifying, expanding, and affirming those identities instead of breaking down, minimizing, or ignoring them.

I am the founder of Equilibrium Counseling Services, a neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ affirming counseling center.
ADHD and Autism Diagnostic Assessments for adults 18+ is my specialty. I believe in and support self diagnosis and recognize that there is often still a desire to have a mental health clinician confirm what you already suspect (Hello imposter syndrome). These assessments can be completed in person at our Rancho Cucamonga office or virtually for California residents. To learn more and schedule your assessment today, visit www.equilibriumcs.com/neurodivergent-assessment or message us here.

Do you suffer from the effects of having bad experiences that have left you feeling traumatized & stuck in the past? There are big "T" (traumatic) events such as sexual assault, rape, child abuse, war, death, major car accidents and then there are what is called the little "t" events such as emotional abuse, neglect, rejection, homophobia (bi-trans), hurt and a series of other "seemingly smaller" but yet a times equally damaging experiences. Over time these events can over time erode your feelings of self esteem, sense of safety and ability to trust in the world.

LGBTQ+/Poly/SW-Affirming with an eye for celebrating marginalized identities, bodies, and relationships.
Are you falling apart behind the scenes? You might go at 100 miles an hour at work or school, but then find yourself completely burnt out and turning to scrolling, smoking, or zoning out to feel better. Perhaps your connection to your family of origin is rocky (at best). You may be feeling disconnected and moody, sometimes for no reason. And even though you’re trying to stay calm and be rational, you keep getting caught up with feelings of anger, anxiety, and shame. Maybe you've gotten really good at taking care of everyone else, but you haven't quite figured out how to take care of you. You're in the right place. :)

Hello there and welcome! I am a body affirming, sex affirming, culture, diversity, belief-system, LGBTQ+, you-affirming therapist. It is my goal to really see you and understand everything that goes into where you are right now in life. I use my personal experience as a person who feels things (no robot therapist here) and has experienced trauma to help us both understand you. I believe shaming you won’t get you where you are going - only empathy and understanding. Though if you are looking for a perfect therapist, I might not be the therapist for you. I make mistakes - I have locked myself out of the office before a session.

Do LGBTQ-affirmative therapists receive special training?
Yes. Many therapists who practice LGBTQ-affirmative therapy have completed specialized training, either during their degree program or as continuing education, to learn the core principles of affirmative therapy and how to best support their LGBTQ clients; some have received certifications in LGBTQ-affirmative therapy. Prospective clients should inquire as to a clinician’s background and training to ensure a good fit.
Why might I want to see an LGBTQ-affirming or LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
Queer and gender-non-conforming individuals frequently experience bias and marginalization in day-to-day life. Working with a therapist who understands these unique challenges, as well as accepts and affirms their identity, can help LGBTQ clients feel safe and supported during therapy—allowing them to better navigate their relationships, mental health, and anything else that they wish to explore during therapy. It is important to note that many therapists can be effective in their work with LGBTQ+ individuals, even in the absence of specific training or background knowledge. The most important component in therapy is the alliance between therapist and client, and this alliance can exist between individuals with very different backgrounds.
How can I find an LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
You may wish to inquire about a therapist’s expertise with your specific challenges or concerns—depression, for example, or relationship strife—as well as their past experiences treating LGBTQ+ clients. Prospective clients may also ask whether a therapist has obtained additional training and/or certification in LGBTQ-affirmative techniques.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience with LGBTQ issues?
Prospective clients should feel empowered to directly ask therapists whether they have received training or been certified in LGBTQ-affirming therapy; competent therapists will be happy to explain their educational background and preferred approach(es) to help a client find the best match for them. Clients may also wish to ask how a therapist has treated clients with their particular challenges in the past and what they expect treatment to look like.
Are all the therapists listed in the LGBTQ directory themselves members of the LGBTQ community?
While therapists may choose to disclose their sexual orientation or gender identity in their profiles, the LGBTQ directory features not only those who have shared this information but also those who assert specialized training or experience in providing support to queer individuals, couples or families.
