I’m an LMFT who uses a psychodynamic, client-centered approach. I help young adults better handle life’s stressors, keep perfectionism in check, and grow their self-esteem. I want to help people feel more connected to themselves and others. I enjoy working with Gen Z and Millennials who are navigating their unique paths in life. I mostly work with anxiety, whether it stems from familial stress (due to filial piety or trauma) or societal pressures (due to gender expectations or political factors). I also work with social anxiety and self-esteem issues.
I am a clinical psychologist with specialized training in trauma and relational modalities. We may be a good fit if you: • Value insight and depth. • Are curious about yourself and want to understand the "why". • Intuitively know that lasting change requires real work—and are ready for it. Reach out to me for a free 15 min. consultation today.
Thank you for reading this. Having a background in grassroots and non-profit work as well as teaching, I am fiercely passionate about equity, social justice and liberation for all people. The therapeutic relationship is unique and radical --- your words have exquisite power and we get to think together about what they mean.
Hello! My name is Danielle, and I have been a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist for over 10 years. Too often, we can become overwhelmed by the pressures of life, and that is where therapy can help. It may be time to prioritize your own mental health, and coming here is an important first step. I’m proud of you for taking it.
I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, family issues, LGBTQIA+ concerns, relationship challenges, PTSD, stress, grief and loss, ADHD, anger, substance use, and major life transitions. My focus in treatment is helping you feel supported while we better understand what you are carrying and what you hope will change. Whether you are seeking therapy for yourself, your relationship, or your family, I look forward to meeting you and helping you move toward healing and growth.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a LGBTQIA+ Therapist in Pasadena, CA
Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Pasadena starts with identity-affirming care. Look for a therapist who clearly describes experience with LGBTQIA+ people, including affirmative therapy, gender-diverse care, WPATH training, or related support for identity, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns. A therapist’s listed specialties, training, and approach can help you understand whether their experience matches what you want to discuss in care.
Pasadena is close to larger Los Angeles mental health networks, but affirming therapists with current openings may still be limited in a smaller local market. Virtual appointments can expand your options beyond a nearby office while keeping care accessible from home. As you compare therapists, consider availability, whether they offer free phone consultations, and whether their bio explicitly names LGBTQIA+ populations. Bios can also give you a clearer sense of communication style, therapeutic approach, and what a first session may include.
Therapy in Pasadena can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before booking. Headway helps you find LGBTQIA+-affirming therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, many of whom are accepting new patients, and offer clear profiles, upfront cost estimates, and direct booking when you’re ready.
