Anon above who works at a psych agency.

It's really normal for us to get referrals from doctors. Go see your normal medical doctor, talk about your mental health issues, and they will make a referral and help get you to a mental health clinician. You can also just call and request an appointment.

My clinic will take same-sex preferences, though we are hesitant about opposite-sex preferences because we occasionally get creepy, dangerous guys requesting our female clinicians and it gets uncomfortable and potentially unsafe. I'm not sure how specific you can get, but you could always go in for your Diagnostic Assessment, and the clinician who does your DA can make internal (or external) referrals once they get to know you and your situation better, and help you find someone who you would feel comfortable talking with.

As for requesting someone based on sexual orientation, I don't know, some clinicians might be comfortable with that, but the clinician's personal life is generally supposed to be kept pretty private. The gay individual would probably be better off just requesting someone who has experience with counseling LGBT individuals.
