Lo Story Moon Lankford

I earned my bachelor’s degree in cinema studies and music theory from New York University and my master’s degree from Antioch University, where I specialized in LGBTQ community psych.

I am an affiliate therapist at the Los Angeles Gender Center and a clinical supervisor and the managing director of the Relational Center. In the past I have done work for Step Up On Second, The Trevor Project, Trans Lifeline, Brave Trails and the Los Angeles LGBT Center.

As you can see, I took the ‘be who you needed when you were younger’ thing pretty seriously. While I love working with folx of all ages and see several adults in my practice, most of my work is with LGBTQ young people ages 5-26.

‘In the room,’ I genuinely care about helping people connect to therapy work in a way that is meaningful to them, noting that this can look a little different person to person and always exists in your own cultural context.

As a trans + queer non-binary femme, I am passionate about interdependence and community psychology.

I believe that the societal structures inherent in our ‘independence’ focused U.S. culture harms all of us by creating fixed binaries in our identities and ways of living and making asking for and receiving help difficult. We were never meant to do any of this alone, and resourcing folx (in a variety of ways) is at the root of all of my work.
