The Center Long Beach

The Center Long Beach, located at 2017 E 4th Street in Long Beach, California, is an inclusive community hub dedicated to supporting the diverse needs of the LGBTQ+ population and their families. The Center provides a full spectrum of outpatient mental health and wellness services—including individual, couples, family, and group therapy—accessible in person or via telehealth. Their practitioners specialize in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relational challenges, and the unique psychological impact of heterosexism, ciscentrism, and structural oppression. By integrating holistic healing and trauma-informed care, The Center fosters growth, resilience, and affirming self-identity for clients across all walks of life.

Beyond mental health, The Center Long Beach offers a broad array of community services: health programming (e.g., free HIV/STI testing, PrEP/PEP resources), youth & family advocacy (including school-based training and LGBTQ+ student support), legal aid, and robust older adult programming to combat isolation and strengthen community ties. Their Domestic Violence Services provide confidential support to survivors of abuse across physical, emotional, and financial domains. In all services, The Center prioritizes cultural competence, equity, and accessibility—ensuring that clients feel safe, respected, and empowered.
