Affirming Therapy for BIPOC and LGBTQ+ Folks in Los Angeles, CA
Therapy is about creating space to heal, grow, and reconnect with who you are, especially in a world that hasn’t always made that easy. I provide culturally-sensitive and queer-affirming therapy that addresses the full picture of navigating life as a marginalized person.
Support for Identity, Trauma, and Relationships
You might be navigating big life transitions, carrying trauma that’s hard to name, or feeling disconnected from yourself or your relationships. Perhaps you’ve done therapy before and can talk about your feelings, but the same patterns around attachment, shame, or self-doubt keep showing up. Therapy can be a space to slow down, reflect, and begin to feel more like yourself again.
I’m Jane Diep (they/she), a queer, second-generation Asian American therapist offering therapy in Los Angeles, California and virtual sessions for clients across the state. I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ folks, children of immigrants, complex trauma & PTSD, and interracial couples. Many of my clients are seeking deeper self-awareness, relief from painful relationship patterns, and a life that feels more aligned with their values.
My work is grounded in care, accountability, and the belief that healing and change is always possible with support. You can learn more about my approach here.
Services
LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapy
I provide affirming therapy through an abolitionist, decolonized lens to support LGBTQIA+ folks. Whether you’re coming to therapy to cope with systemic oppression, explore gender identity, navigate relationships, or are simply looking for a therapist who gets it without you explaining it, I’m deeply committed to creating a space that feels safe and accepting for you to be yourself.
Couples Therapy
For partners wanting to deepen intimacy, improve communication, and work through challenges with care. I work with LGBTQIA+ folks, cross-cultural relationships, ENM, and those in the BDSM & kink communities looking to find new ways to relate to one another. I also offer discernment counseling for couples navigating uncertainty in their relationship.
EMDR for Trauma
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) helps your brain process difficult experiences that may still be affecting you, even years later. It can be especially helpful if you’ve done talk therapy before but still feel stuck, or if you understand your trauma but can’t understand why you still feel so unsafe and triggered.

Good Faith Estimate
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost. Under the law, healthcare providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call (800) 985-3059.
