Mental Health Services Overview - Los Angeles LGBT Center

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.

Our counselors and therapists are highly qualified in many aspects of mental, emotional, and psychological issues facing members of the LGBT community. Our counselors are highly skilled in cultural competency surrounding individuals identifying as LGBT, gender non-conforming, gender queer, gender fluid, and anyone who identifies as part of the LGBT community. Our goal is to meet you where you are in your life and help you flourish.

Some of the issues for which people seek treatment include:

• Depression
• Anxiety
• Relationships
• HIV
• Substance use
