MEET OFELIA, Associate Marriage and Family Therapist IN LOS ANGELES, CA and all over california via telehealth
Creating a safe, affirming space where you can heal, grow, and reconnect with your authentic self.
Hi, I’m Ofelia, and I’m here to provide a compassionate, affirming space where you can explore, heal, and grow.
As a queer woman of color and a therapist, I know how hard it can be to find someone who truly sees and understands you. I became a therapist because I wanted to be the person I couldn’t find—someone who creates a safe and welcoming space for people with one or more marginalized identities. Whether you’re navigating gender, relationships, trauma, or identity, I’m here to support you.
I work with queer and trans individuals who may be carrying the effects of trauma, practicing ethical non-monogamy or polyamory, embracing kink, or who are sex workers. My practice is grounded in relational and feminist therapy, which means we’ll focus on your connections—with yourself, with others, and with the world. I also use trauma-focused approaches like EMDR to help you process painful experiences and move forward with clarity and peace.
My work is deeply informed by over 20 years of advocacy and social justice work in queer and trans communities. I co-founded one of the nation’s first transgender film festivals to elevate trans voices and foster community through art. I’ve also worked alongside sex workers and led educational programs to create safe spaces for marginalized identities. These experiences have shaped my commitment to providing therapy that is not only affirming but also transformative.
Outside of therapy, I’m a writer, a community organizer, and someone who loves connecting with people. My approach is serious when it needs to be, but also playful and joyful—I believe healing happens when you feel safe to explore all parts of yourself.
If you’re looking for a space where you can show up as your whole self and work toward the life you deserve, I’d love to connect with you. Let’s take the next step together.
you’re in the right space.
How I work
At the core of my approach to therapy is a belief that healing is possible when you feel truly seen, heard, and understood.
I want you to know you’re not alone. I believe that deep down, you already have the strength to heal and thrive—you just need someone to walk alongside you, to offer the support and space you deserve.
My clients leave our work together with clarity, self-trust, and a deeper connection to themselves and others. I guide them through a process that honors their unique experiences, helping them to process pain, break free from old patterns, and rediscover a sense of safety and belonging.
I know many approaches to therapy can feel cold, distant, or like they weren’t built with you in mind. That’s not how I work. Every step we take together is grounded in compassion and tailored to who you are.
You deserve this space. You don’t have to carry it all on your own anymore. Let’s begin.
