The mental health services staff of the Los Angeles LGBT Center specialize in psychotherapy for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people and welcome all cultures, ethnicities, sexual orientations, and gender identities.
Counselors include masters and doctoral-level staff (both licensed and license-eligible) and pre- and post-graduate masters and doctoral-level trainees, interns, and practicum students. Psychiatric consultations are available, based on a referral by one of our staff counselors.
Some of the issues people seek treatment for include depression, anxiety, relationships, HIV, substance abuse, domestic/intimate partner abuse and violence, and coming out support. Most therapy is short term, usually 16 sessions. Group therapy may go on for longer periods of time.
We accept most insurance plans and offer our services on a sliding scale, based on ability to pay. Mental Health services are free for people who live or work in West Hollywood, thanks to a grant from the city.
