San Bruno Therapists specializing in Gender Identity

Liza Veale

Like most therapists, the themes of mood, trauma and grief are pervasive in the work I do. I have a particular focus on: Discovery and conflict related to identity or sexuality Existential and socio-political burdens Aging, illness, disability and health anxiety Inhibitions related to desire and creativity

Jasper Mather

One of my core areas of focus is working with transgender and nonbinary individuals. I understand that navigating a world often dominated by rigid gender norms and expectations can be incredibly challenging. My therapeutic practice is dedicated to creating a safe, affirming, and inclusive space where you can explore your gender identity authentically and without judgment.

Jules Peithman

I work with couples, adults, and teens who are LGBTQIA+ and/or BIPOC folks. Some themes I love working with include grief, relationships, life transitions, boundaries, anxiety, and depression. Integration of altered states of consciousness, exploration of intersectional identities and intergenerational trauma are also common themes in my practice. I have a passion for helping folks get in touch with their inner knowing & becoming their fullest and most authentic selves.

Chelsie Crilly

My clients typically feel like they are “too much”, their emotions are “too big”, and they are “too sensitive”. I invite clients to alter their thinking and believe they are “enough” through a variety of approaches (see “my approach”). My clients are usually seeking treatment in order to increase their ability to “swim in the sea of emotions”, improve relationships with loved ones, and improve executive functioning skills (such as time management, accomplishing their to-do-list, ect).

MaryBeth Lorence

I invite individual adults and couples to explore your struggles and the unhealthy patterns that keep you mired in feelings of sadness, anxiety, or simply with a sense that your life is not quite how you wish it to be. Maybe you've tried to work out the problems yourself and keep circling back to square one. Maybe you've hit a brick wall. Maybe you don't even know where to begin. Together, we'll uncover the power of change that lives inside you.

Emily Pellegrino

Being part of the LGBTQ+ community can be beautiful, exciting, challenging, and heartbreaking which makes finding a LGBTQ+ friendly therapist that much more important. You might be questioning your sexuality. You might wonder where you fit in. You might simultaneously love your queer life, but feel like an outsider from your biological family or the rest of the world. Being part of the LGBTQ+ community might only be one part of who you are and it might not be why you’re coming to therapy at all.

Barton Shulman

Many of us reach out when we feel the need for support, or help working through challenging times. Sometimes we face challenges we think are too difficult to manage alone. I believe in taking a strength-based, client-centered approach to psychotherapy, working with you to help you grow toward your best self. The familiar ways you have of dealing with life's complications may not be working; together we can work to identify new positive means of change.

Annalise Ophelian

I specialize in working with kink and LGBTQIA+ communities, artists, and creative professionals. But most everyone I see is simply looking for a place where they can show up fully, without hiding parts of themselves to access quality, compassionate mental health care.

David Brown

I am uniquely skilled in engaging the struggles related to trauma, life transitions, and the LGBTQ community. Many of the men and women who choose to work with me are in the grips of anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, or relationship challenges. Many are highly motivated professionals that are self-reliant and achievement-focused, but often struggle with self-defeating thoughts and patterns that keep them feeling stuck.

Isobel Heath

Therapy improves relationships. The individuals I work with are often tired of repeating the same patterns again and again, whether it's dating abuse, codependency, or chronic relationship conflict, anxiety, avoidance or indecision. They're ready to get to the root causes and finally make real change. Of course, all relationships start with and reflect your relationship to yourself. If you're dealing with a harsh inner critic or low self-worth, this internal relationship needs attention first.

January Coleman-Jones

Individuals continue to exist and survive after trauma by using a myriad of internalized strategies. Do you have symptoms of anxiety, depression, or a feeling of unidentifiable pain? We hold onto the tools that once kept us safe. Whatever reason has brought you to seek therapy in this moment, it is no doubt unique to you -- as will be your healing journey. It is my firm belief that you are the authority on your life. Together, we can support you to thrive!

Are you ready for change? Please reach out to me, if the following applies to you... You want to address the contradictory thoughts that live inside you. You’re prepared to be open and honest. Less self-editing and more sharing of your inner world. You’re feeling brave. It’s time to explore uncharted waters - even if it feels scary. You want to be compassionate toward yourself, even the parts of you that feel hard to love. You’re open to change.

Lilly Servera

I enjoy helping individuals who experience symptoms of anxiety, depression, relationship stressors, life transitions, as well as those who want to overcome various symptoms of trauma. Often people I work with are seeking more peace, empowerment, and healthier relationships with others and with themselves. In this, my aim is to help individuals feel more confident, attuned to themselves, and kinder to parts of themselves, even those that can be hard to accept.

Shelley Samuels

Restarting your life? Are you feeling lost, overwhelmed, isolated? Do you feel stuck in the past ? Or maybe you think you are powerless, too old, too young, too different, or low energy? Some of the folks I enjoy working with are members of my queer community, older adults, creative types and people connected to the earth who care about our planet and may be experiencing climate grief. I appreciate transitioners of all types and lovers of learning.

My clients are creatives, artists, healers, highly sensitive people, and empaths. They are also people who are struggling with chronic pain and/or fatigue, low self-esteem, people pleasing, attachment wounding, nervous system regulation and executive functioning.

Ida Ahmadi

I provide an integrative approach that is warm, engaged, collaborative, strength-based and trauma-informed to support you in getting to where you want to be. While I specialize in working with queer & trans adolescents, individuals, and couples—I love working with all kinds of people from diverse backgrounds, ages, sexualities, and relationship styles.

Online Therapy

Hannah Brumbaum

Often, we're taught to shy away from the uncomfortable: the wounds, the hurt places. We label them as “bad” or “problems”, and do whatever we can to cope, instead of healing that pain. I specialize in working with folks who have experienced trauma, feel they don’t fit into society’s boxes, or seek deeper self-exploration. Together, we reconnect to your body and emotions, break out of old patterns that aren’t serving you, and move into the life you want.
