Whether you're questioning, transitioning, or rediscovering your identity, our gender-affirming therapists in Los Angeles and across California are here to walk with you with care and respect.
Start Your Exploration Today
Gender exploration therapy is a space to ask the questions that may have followed you for years or ones that are just beginning to surface.
Here, we don't push toward a particular outcome or identity. Instead, we create a collaborative process where you get to explore your sense of self on your terms, with support that respects your autonomy and complexity. Whether you're sorting through gendered experiences, language, transitions, dysphoria, or joy, this therapy holds space for the full range of what you're carrying.
Talk to Someone Who Gets It
At Expansive Therapy, gender exploration is treated with the nuance, patience, and depth it deserves. We work with people who are questioning, transitioning, re-identifying, or simply wanting space to think out loud about who they are.
Our approach blends clinical insight with lived LGBTQ+ experience, ensuring you’re met by therapists who understand the complexity of gender not just academically, but personally. Whether you come in with a specific goal or simply a sense that something’s shifting, we’re here to walk with you, not ahead of you, and not behind.
Meet Our Practice
There’s no one path through gender exploration therapy. Sessions are shaped by your questions, your pace, and what feels emotionally safe. But here’s what you can often expect:
Conversations that help you name and unpack your gender experiences, past and present
Space to talk through fears, curiosities, and hopes without judgment
Support navigating social, medical, or internal transitions (if that’s part of your journey)
Help integrating gender identity with other parts of who you are — relationships, work, family, culture
A therapeutic relationship that affirms your right to be uncertain, evolving, or rooted, however you arrive
Some clients use therapy to clarify what they want. Others just want a break from having to explain everything. Both are welcome.

Why Clients Choose Expansive Therapy in Los Angeles for Gender Exploration Therapy
Clients choose Expansive because they don’t want to over-explain. Because they’re tired of being misgendered, second-guessed, or treated like their identity is a clinical puzzle. What they find here is different: therapists who reflect their values, mirror their lived realities, and offer more than surface-level “acceptance.” They describe feeling safe, seen, and respected. For many, it’s the first time they’ve felt that way in a therapeutic setting.
We’re proud to have built a practice trusted by the LGBTQ+ community in LA and beyond.
"Great place for therapy! I highly recommend the place and staff who works there."

Our Los Angeles office is located in Larchmont Village, right between Melrose Hill and Hancock Park, a short drive from Hollywood and Koreatown.
Some clients stop by between shoots, sessions, or childcare pickups. Others log in from Echo Park, the Westside, or anywhere else they can get a moment of quiet. Wherever you are in LA, we’re close enough to meet you in the real rhythm of your week.
The office is designed for privacy and calm. It's a space that lets you take a breath, say what needs saying, and leave a little lighter.
