LGBTQIA+ Affirming Care and Psychotherapy at DRM Mental Health

Be Free to Be You and Feel Seen at DRM Mental Health

You deserve to be truly, uniquely, and openly you. That may mean seeking a therapist that can allow you to be open with your sexual preferences and identity, and feel free to be yourself.

DRM Mental Health offers that safe space for care that is here for you. I provide LGBTQIA+ affirming care, along with therapy for any psychological or mental health challenges that may be affecting you in an environment that recognizes and treats you as who you are.

  • Are you seeking a therapist who understands and affirms your LGBTQIA+ identity?
  • Do you need support for issues related to sexual orientation, gender identity, or transition?
  • Are you looking for effective strategies to manage anxiety, depression, or other mental health concerns?

As an LGBTQIA+ individual myself, understand LGBTQ issues, and offer both general psychotherapy and specific support for those navigating their sexual orientation, gender identity, and related experiences.

At DRM Mental Health, I recognize the profound impact that affirming care can have on one’s quality of life. I am committed to understanding your individual experience and working collaboratively with you to develop personalized treatment plans.

DRM Mental Health is local to San Diego and offers remote therapy in California, New York, New Jersey, and Delaware. I am also able to create a confidential and discreet space for those that have not yet come out, and those in communities across these four states that may not be as open and welcoming. Please contact me today via my online form or call (609) 251 4659.
