Queer Trauma Therapy in San Diego & Across California 

You did everything right. The career, the home, the résumé. You even came out. Somehow you still feel like you're performing a version of yourself for an audience that never claps.

If you grew up queer in a world that told you to be anything else, you learned early that love was conditional, unpredictability was normal, and being fully yourself was dangerous. So you got really good at masking, people-pleasing, being the chill one, the strong one, the "fine" one.

I'm Brittaney Latta, LMFT, a queer, bi, poly, sober, complex trauma survivor turned therapist who lived that before I learned how to heal it. I'm not here to nod quietly and ask how that makes you feel. I'm here to help you unlearn the survival patterns that kept you safe back then and are quietly running your life now, so you can build real queer confidence.

What therapy with me is actually like

If you're looking for a therapist who speaks in mindfulness clichés, I'm not your girl. I will talk back. I'll challenge you, give you real professional advice (why else would you pay me?), and get honest about the patterns you can't see on your own: the fawning, the spiraling, the rehearsing conversations that haven't even happened yet.

You bring me the long, messy, tangled story. Together we will find the common survival pattern underneath, then we build the plan to unlearn it.

Who I work with

My people, the Queerdos, are the queers, creatives, weirdos, rebels and high achievers who look like they have it all together on the outside while running a secret boxing match on the inside. Poly and ENM folx, first-gen, neurospicy humans, trauma survivors who are used to being the "strong one" for everyone. 

The survival pattern: you learned to make everyone around you comfortable at your own expense. You've been everyone's emotional support human since childhood; this is the room where you finally get to be the one who's taken care of. 

My story

I didn't learn this work from a textbook first, I lived and healed it. A religious upbringing where fear and shame controlled my choices. A childhood spent reading the room instead of being a kid in it. Years of addiction, masking, and relationships that ran entirely on survival mode.

I got sober, did the deep work, and learned what I needed most: boundaries, detachment from other people's opinions, and a voice that didn't ask permission. Then I became the therapist I needed back then. I've been in the mental health field since 2009 and a licensed therapist since 2016, with extensive experience in crisis work and complex trauma.

Hi, I'm Brittaney Latta, LMFT

I'm an openly bi, poly, queer therapist in long-term recovery, a complex trauma survivor turned codependency expert, and the founder of Your Therapy Room, online therapy across California. I help LGBTQ+ adults heal childhood trauma, CPTSD, anxiety, ADHD and codependency, unlearn the cis-het rules that were never written for us, and build relationships that aren't run on survival mode.
