Individual Therapy - Los Angeles LGBT Center

Mental Health

If you are feeling depressed, anxious, or stressed, or if you’re dealing with issues that feel beyond your control, you’ve got a warm, welcoming place to turn for counseling—at rates you can afford.

The Los Angeles LGBT Center offers individual, couples, family, and group therapy, as well as psychiatric care. We operate one of the few programs to assist LGBT people involved in domestic and intimate partner abuse and violence. Our programs to combat substance abuse include a renowned outpatient program for those who want to stop or reduce substance use.

Are you a gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender or queer (LGBTQ) person who has experienced a crime? If so, we are asking for your feedback to learn more about services that can best assist LGBTQ people. To help, please complete this survey: lalgbtcenter.org/crimesurvey

One-on-one counseling offers the most privacy and personal time with a therapist and more scheduling flexibility.

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.
