LGBTQ+ Affirmative Therapy


Safe, inclusive counseling for LGBTQ+ individuals, couples, and families in Thousand Oaks.

Are you seeking a therapist who is familiar with and supportive of the Queer Community? You’re in the right place.


Here at Solstice we believe that every person deserves to be treated with dignity and respect and gets to make their own decisions about their bodies and who they love. We stand with the LGBTQ community and can provide sensitive informed care to members of the community. We know that you can’t always feel safe in many spaces, especially in this political climate, so we want to ensure that we will do our best for you to feel safe and celebrated in our office.

Do you need a space to explore your gender identity, your sexual preferences, or your relationship arrangement? Do you want to work with a therapist who is comfortable working with queer and genderqueer clients? We can help!

A Safe Space for Your Journey


At Solstice Therapy, we understand that finding a therapist who truly gets your experience as an LGBTQ+ person can be challenging. That’s why we’ve created a practice where you can feel completely yourself without judgment or explanation.
