Loneliness, pain and anxiety are symptoms that tell us changes need to occur in our lives. Do you suffer from these symptoms too often? Lacking a sense of belonging or purpose? Want to create more lasting and meaningful relationships?

I'm James Guay; I offer individual and couples psychotherapy in my West Hollywood private practice office and via secured webcam therapy sessions. As a licensed marriage and family therapist (#mft39252), I am compassionately engaged in helping you be in better alignment with who you are at your core, your most authentic-self.

Psychotherapy can help guide you through the pain, discomfort, or uneasiness about areas in your life that you haven't been able to understand or change on your own. Counseling can help transform your life, bringing more vibrant engagement and authenticity through deep internal work.

My specialties include: Couples Counseling, Gay Affirmative Psychotherapy, Life Transitions, Personal Growth, Substance and Behavioral Addictions, Anxiety, and Depression.

Research has shown that the single most important aspect of successful therapy is the connection you feel with your therapist. It can be difficult to find the right match where you eventually feel safe enough to share anything and everything with your therapist, trusting that they are there for you no matter what. Take a moment to watch my videos and read my website, to see if we might be a good fit. If so, I look forward to scheduling an appointment with you.

Gay Affirmative Psychotherapy Specialty : I provide Gay Affirmative Psychotherapy for the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender community. LGBTQ Affirmative Psychotherapy is culturally-competent therapy for gay men and women, including healing from and learning to navigate societal "dis-ease" with sexuality and gender diversity. Gay couples therapy and gay couples counseling improves intimacy, conflict-resolution and communication for gay couples. Individual and couples counseling is a process of reconnecting you to the core of who you are, honoring that place, and living life more fully.
