Inclusive Therapy for Diverse Communities in Los Angeles
Therapy That Makes Room for All of You.
therapy for diverse individuals, couples, relationships, & families in highland park, los angeles
We work with adults, teens, couples and partners, families, and groups across many identities, cultures, communities, and relationship structures. We have particular experience supporting LGBTQIA2S+ folks, BIPOC clients, neurodivergent people, people living with chronic illness and disability, and others whose full experiences have not always been understood or affirmed.
At Kindman & Co., we welcome all kinds of people. Our approach to therapy is rooted in inclusion, connection, self-discovery, and making room for the fullness of who you are. We know that identity, culture, relationships, and the systems we live within shape how we move through the world, and they belong in the therapy room too.
No list can capture the complexity of a person. When we understand and embrace ourselves more fully, we create more room for meaningful relationships, connection across difference, and care for ourselves and one another.
Let’s start with you.
Couples & People in Relationships
Relationships can be deeply meaningful and deeply challenging. People often seek therapy when navigating conflict, disconnection, life transitions, or a desire for more closeness and security in their relationships.
We work with romantic partners and relational systems across many structures, including monogamous and non-monogamous relationships, polyamory, consensual non-monogamy, co-parenting relationships, chosen family, and non-romantic partnerships. Our work supports communication, repair, boundary-setting, and relational understanding so your relationships can feel more intentional, compassionate, and sustainable.
LGBTQIA2S+ Folks
Living in a society shaped by cisnormativity and heterosexism can create chronic stress and emotional strain. Many LGBTQIA2S+ folks have experienced misunderstanding, marginalization, or harm in spaces meant to be supportive.
We offer affirming, inclusive therapy where you don’t need to explain or justify who you are. Our work supports you in exploring identity, relationships, and inner life with care, respect, and self-trust.
creatives, artists & entertainers
Creative work often grows from emotional depth, curiosity, and sensitivity. At the same time, many creatives feel misunderstood, struggle with self-doubt or imposter syndrome, or question the meaning and sustainability of their work.
Therapy can offer a space where your creative identity is taken seriously. We support you in reconnecting with purpose, navigating comparison and doubt, and cultivating a creative life that feels grounding and sustaining.
BIPOC Folks
Your racial and cultural identities shape how you move through the world, and they deserve to be understood as part of your whole self. Racism, discrimination, cultural expectations, and the pressure to navigate predominantly white spaces can create stress, grief, anger, exhaustion, and disconnection that are too often minimized or misunderstood.
We offer culturally responsive, anti-racist therapy for BIPOC folks where you can explore identity, relationships, family, belonging, and the impact of systemic oppression without having to leave parts of yourself at the door. Our therapists make room for complexity, intersectionality, and the ways both resilience and struggle can live alongside one another.
highly sensitive people (HSPs) & deep feelers
Some people experience the world more intensely—emotionally, relationally, or sensory-wise—and have often been told they are “too sensitive” or “too much.” This sensitivity is frequently misunderstood or treated as something to fix.
In therapy, we work with you to understand and honor your sensitivity rather than minimize it. Together, we explore ways to reduce overwhelm, strengthen boundaries, and stay connected to your depth without losing yourself.
People with Chronic Illness & Disability
Living with chronic illness or disability can mean navigating a world that asks you to push past your limits, explain your needs, or prove that what you’re experiencing is real. Medical dismissal, inaccessible systems, unpredictable symptoms, and the ongoing work of caring and advocating for yourself can take a real emotional and relational toll.
We offer therapy for chronically ill and disabled folks where your experience is believed and your needs do not have to be minimized or justified. Together, we can make space for grief, anger, identity, relationships, medical trauma, changing capacity, and the complicated work of building a meaningful life in a body that deserves care exactly as it is.
therapy for therapists & healing professionals
Helping others heal and grow can be deeply meaningful work, but it can also be emotionally demanding. Holding space for pain, trauma, and uncertainty day after day can make it hard to leave work at work, especially when you’re also navigating your own relationships, losses, stressors, and life transitions.
We understand the unique pressures that come with being a therapist or helping professional, because we live them too. Supporting therapists and healers has always been a priority in our practice. We know how important it is to have a space where you don’t need to explain, perform, or stay in the role of the helper.
Therapy offers you a place to be fully human — to process the weight of the work, tend to your own inner world, and have your experiences met with understanding and care.
support for teens & young adults
Adolescence and early adulthood are full of change. These years often include first relationships, new responsibilities, growing independence, and decisions that can feel both exciting and overwhelming. It’s also a time of exploring identity — figuring out who you are, what matters to you, and how you want to move through the world.
With so much happening at once, it’s common for teens, college students, and young adults to experience anxiety, stress, self-doubt, or emotional overwhelm. Therapy can offer a supportive space to pause, make sense of big feelings, and develop tools for navigating change with more confidence and self-trust.
We’re here to support you in building resilience, strengthening coping skills, and embracing all parts of who you are as you grow.
women, femmes & gender-expansive folks
Gendered expectations can shape how you relate to your body, identity, work, relationships, and right to take up space. You may feel pressure to care for everyone, stay agreeable, perform competence, or keep going long after you’ve reached your limit.
We offer feminist, gender-affirming therapy for cis and trans women, femmes, nonbinary people, and gender-expansive folks. Together, we can explore burnout, boundaries, identity, anger, self-trust, and the effects of misogyny and gender policing, all while helping you build a life and relationships that make room for more of who you are.
Therapy for Men & Masc-Identifying Folks
Living in a culture that equates masculinity with toughness, self-reliance, and emotional control can make it hard to know what you feel, ask for support, or let other people in. Over time, the pressure to hold it together can show up as loneliness, anger, numbness, shame, relationship struggles, or feeling disconnected from yourself.
We offer therapy for men and masc-identifying folks that makes room for a fuller, more authentic way of being. Together, we can unpack the expectations and inherited ideas about masculinity that no longer serve you, deepen your emotional awareness, and build relationships with yourself and others that feel more connected, honest, and fully yours.
millennial therapy
Many millennials grew up navigating rapid technological change, economic uncertainty, and constant access to information about the world. These experiences often shape how millennials relate to identity, work, relationships, and justice, with a strong emphasis on authenticity, creativity, and wellbeing.
At the same time, this awareness can bring anxiety, pressure to “figure it out,” and feelings of being unseen or misunderstood. If you’re navigating questions of purpose while managing adulthood in a complex world—career decisions, financial stress, student loan debt, intersectional identities, or concerns about the future—therapy can offer support.
We’re here to help you make sense of what you’re carrying and move toward a life that feels more grounded, meaningful, and aligned with your values.
