LGBTQIA+ Mental Health at House of Wellness

You deserve mental health care that sees you, respects you, and supports your well-being without condition. At House of Wellness, we proudly affirm and support individuals across the LGBTQIA+ spectrum. Whether you’re navigating identity exploration, relationship dynamics, mental health symptoms, or the ongoing effects of marginalization, you are welcome here — fully and without judgment.

Dr. Maniar offers thoughtful, compassionate care to LGBTQIA+ individuals across California, with a focus on building authentic, affirming connections that support healing and growth.

We Understand That Being Yourself Isn’t Always Simple

The emotional toll of navigating a world that isn’t always safe or affirming can lead to complex mental health challenges, including:

Anxiety, depression, or mood instability

Chronic stress related to stigma or discrimination

Identity confusion or internalized shame

Relationship strain or family rejection

Social isolation or loneliness

Trauma from past medical, religious, or interpersonal experiences

These aren’t just individual issues — they’re responses to systems and histories that have too often excluded or harmed LGBTQIA+ people. We provide care that is validating, trauma-informed, and rooted in respect.

Support for Every Stage of Your Journey

Whether you are out, questioning, transitioning, or still exploring your identity, we meet you exactly where you are — with curiosity, not assumptions.

We offer affirming care for:

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, pansexual, and asexual individuals

Transgender, nonbinary, and gender-diverse individuals

People exploring gender identity or navigating dysphoria

Individuals facing challenges in relationships, sex, intimacy, or community connection

Those healing from rejection, religious trauma, or medical mistrust

Our Approach

Affirming psychiatric evaluation and medication management

Collaborative care with LGBTQIA+-competent therapists and providers

Support for gender-affirming transitions, including letters when appropriate

Space to unpack complex emotions related to shame, identity, or trauma

Care that respects your pronouns, chosen name, and lived experience

You Are Not Alone — and You Are Not “Too Much”

Your identity is not a disorder. Your truth is not up for debate. And your story deserves to be met with warmth, safety, and professional respect. We’re here to walk beside you, whether you need support with your mental health, identity, or simply want to feel seen in the care you receive.
