My name is David Marquez and I am a Licensed Clinicial Social Worker (LCSW) in California. I have been a social worker for over 10 years and graduated from San Francisco State University. As a Latino therapist, I’m especially passionate about serving LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities. I offer therapy in English and Spanish, and I bring cultural awareness, warmth, and real conversation into the room. Your identity, experiences, and personality aren’t side notes here — they’re part of the story we honor. Therapy with me is collaborative, affirming, and occasionally sprinkled with humor — because sometimes the most healing moments come right after we say, “Ohhh... that makes sense.”

Jessica Dineen

Therapist

Virtual • California


I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with over 10 years of experience helping adults navigate trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, and major life stressors. I specialize in working with individuals recovering from narcissistic abuse, high-conflict relationships, complex trauma, and chronic overwhelm.

I believe therapy should be a space where you don’t have to carry the harder parts of life alone. Trauma doesn’t just live in our thoughts — it can become stored in the nervous system and show up in the way we relate to ourselves, others, and the world around us. Because of this, insight alone is often not enough for lasting healing.

I integrate EMDR, attachment-focused therapy, parts work, and nervous system regulation techniques to help clients process painful experiences, better understand themselves, and feel more grounded, connected, and empowered in their daily lives.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Moreno Valley

Finding the right LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist in Moreno Valley starts with knowing what kind of support you're looking for. Affirming providers are trained to understand the experiences of LGBTQIA+ individuals — from navigating identity and coming out to managing the effects of discrimination or family conflict. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or something specific to your identity, choosing a provider with relevant experience can make a meaningful difference.

Moreno Valley is part of the broader Inland Empire, and the number of locally based LGBTQIA+-affirming providers may be limited compared to larger metro areas. Virtual sessions can expand your options significantly, connecting you with licensed therapists across California who specialize in affirming care. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their approach, background, and whether they're a good match for your needs.

Therapy in Moreno Valley can be expensive without insurance, but using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay out of pocket. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before your first appointment, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 2384 insurance plans, making it easier to find an affirming provider who fits both your needs and your budget.
