Who it helps

What We Help With

Identity can bring real stress, from coming out and family reactions to discrimination, racism or feeling caught between cultures. Therapy should be a place where all of who you are is welcome.

We help individuals, couples and families with:

  • Coming out and identity exploration
  • Gender identity and transition support
  • Family rejection or conflict
  • Racial and cultural identity
  • Discrimination and racism
  • First-generation and bicultural stress
  • LGBTQ+ relationships and couples
  • Tension between identity, faith or community

How we help

Our therapists pay close attention to how identity, culture and the systems around you shape your life and relationships. We stay curious about your experience instead of making assumptions, and you can request a therapist with specific experience in what matters to you.

Sessions are 50 minutes, usually weekly, in person at our Newport Beach office or by telehealth anywhere in California.

We also offer therapy in Spanish. Related: Individual Therapy · Couples Therapy
