LGBTQ-Affirming Psychiatry and Psychotherapy
I’m Jonathan Galla, MD, a final-year psychiatry resident at Georgetown. This educational site explores psychotherapy-oriented psychiatry for LGBTQ adults and gay and bisexual men—including anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, body image, relationships, and medication management.
Psychiatry and Psychotherapy for LGBTQ Adults and Gay & Bisexual Men
-
I am completing my final year of psychiatry residency at Georgetown University, where I serve as chief resident at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital.
My residency training has emphasized both psychotherapy and evidence-based medication management. I have trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, exposure and response prevention for OCD, CBT for ADHD, and LGBTQ-affirming cognitive behavioral therapy. I also completed elective training in neuromodulation at the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
I completed medical school at the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences and my undergraduate studies at Harvard College.

I am developing a future telehealth psychiatry practice for adults, with a focus on LGBTQ-affirming care and particular attention to gay and bisexual men’s mental health.
Areas of focus include anxiety, depression, OCD, burnout, relationship concerns, body image, disordered eating, perfectionism, identity-related stress, and the intersection of mental health with lifestyle, work, and relationships.

This site provides educational resources for adults interested in psychiatry, psychotherapy, LGBTQ mental health, anxiety, identity, and relationships. In the future, I will provide medication management and psychotherapy for adults. If you are experiencing a mental health emergency, please call 988 or go to your nearest emergency room.
