About Us

707 LGBTQ therapy collective bay area east bay benicia napa

Finding the right therapist for you and your needs is not only critically important but also an incredibly nuanced, personal matter. Finding someone who understands you, who will treat you with empathy and compassion, yet also not let you off the hook when you need accountability.

Then, there are the other issues, like finding someone who works for your schedule either because they are in your area, because they offer telehealth services (online and over-the-phone counseling), or because they offer evening hours.

707 LGBT Therapy Collective ensures that you can find the right therapist for your needs, saving you the frustration of having to go through a list of clinicians until you find one that fits your needs.
