About

Rainbow Connection Counseling Collective in University Heights, San Diego is an LGBTQ+-owned and Asian-owned psychotherapy practice headquartered at 1286 University Avenue in the 92116 corridor. Founded by Harry Dixon, MA, LPCC #4340, the collective staffs queer and BIPOC clinicians whose integrative approach to trauma recovery shares common ground with the movement-based healing modalities at Pilgrimage of the Heart Yoga, where breath-centered work complements the somatic techniques used in EMDR processing. Dixon earned his master's in counseling with a clinical mental health specialization from the University of San Diego in 2014 and holds concurrent licenses in California, Oregon, and Washington. The practice treats anxiety, depression, racial identity concerns, gender-affirming care needs, and relationship dynamics through a culturally responsive, code-switch-free framework using EMDR, brainspotting, cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and Sexual Health Alliance-certified sex therapy. All sessions run via HIPAA-compliant telehealth, making care accessible to clients across California without geographic barriers. University Heights sits directly above Balboa Park, with Park Blvd connecting the two neighborhoods in a straight shot south. Diversionary Theatre anchors the arts programming along that corridor, and the concentration of LGBTQ+-affirming services stretches from University Heights into Hillcrest. Clients working through complex intergenerational trauma or minority stress often benefit from complementary bodywork and holistic care at Pure Health Alliance on the same corridor. The collective accepts Cigna in-network and provides superbills for out-of-network reimbursement, with individual sessions at $225 and couples sessions at $300. Dixon's clinical scope spans LGBTQ+ sex therapy, out-of-control sexual behavior treatment using the Sexual Health Model rather than addiction-based frameworks, and asexuality and gray-A visibility work.
