Too many bi folks are erased or misunderstood, even in therapy. We’re here to honor your full experience and open an affirming and empowering space for you.
Explore Bisexual-Affirming Therapy in LA
Bisexual-affirming therapy is built on the understanding that bisexuality isn’t confusion, a phase, or a placeholder. It’s a valid, whole identity. It's an identity that’s often invisibilized, even in LGBTQ+ spaces.
This kind of therapy centers your identity, but doesn't make it everything. That means exploring how bi-erasure, biphobia, and binary thinking may have shaped your relationships, your self-trust, and your sense of belonging. But it also means exploring whatever else is bringing you to therapy without relating it back to sexual orientation.
Talk to a Therapist Who Gets It
At Expansive Therapy, we help bi folks to transition from survival mode, which you've had to be in for most of your life, into a slower and deeper form of connection with self. We help you to work through all that negative messaging you've internalized in order to get to know your true and authentic self.
For those who prefer online therapy, we offer Zoom therapy across all of LA and California, from Silver Lake to Santa Monica to West Hollywood. For those who prefer in person therapy, we welcome you to our warm and inviting office in Larchmont.

You can expect to bypass proving your identity, performing your pain, or having a linear timeline of what’s “wrong.” We work together to create a space where you feel safe and validated, first and foremost. After this, you might start with a memory that’s hard to shake, or you might not know where to start. Both are valid.
We also understand that bisexuality is not the sole thing bringing you to therapy, and that your identity is a pillar amongst many other pillars that make you who you are. Our therapists affirm and validate, while being careful not to over-center sexuality. We you find more freedom in how you relate, connect, and feel understood.

Supporting more than two people in a relationship takes nuance, care, and deep understanding. Our Los Angeles therapists work with polyamorous couples to navigate the unique dynamics of non-monogamous relationships, from balancing communication to managing shifting needs and boundaries.
Grounded in a nonjudgmental, affirming approach, they help each partner feel seen and heard while building the trust and connection that make relationships thrive. Whether you’re exploring polyamory for the first time or looking to strengthen an established partnership, our team brings clarity, compassion, and expertise to every session.

Why Our Clients Trust Us for Bisexual-Affirming Therapy in LA
At Expansive Therapy, we understand that bisexual clients are often expected to explain, justify, or shrink themselves, even in queer spaces. That’s not how we work.
Our therapists are trained in identity-affirming, trauma-informed care that acknowledges the complexity and nuance of bi+ experience without turning it into a talking point. We center your lived reality, not textbook assumptions.
Clients choose us because they feel fully seen here. Some find us after years of navigating healthcare systems that didn’t know how to talk about fluidity. Others are newly out and want support without sensationalism. Either way, we’re here with language that fits, care that lands, and space that expands with you.
"This was my 4th time in the last decade that I decided to start therapy. Having been through 3 rounds that I felt wasn't addressing my issues in a way to keep me motivated to stay in, I wasn't exactly optimistic but took a friend's recommendation that this team is different. Especially for LGBT community. Different it was and it continues to be. Expansive Therapy exceeded my expectations. I was surprised how quickly my therapist identified trends in my behaviour and gave me hope that this could have a tangible impact on my life . It is also very reasonably priced. Excited to continue, unlike my previous experiences, for a long time to come."
