Paula Kirsch
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CST
Affirming care means more than hanging a flag. It means you will not spend your session explaining yourself, educating your therapist, or wondering whether it is safe to say the real thing. I work with LGBTQ+ individuals and couples navigating identity, relationships, sexuality, and everything that comes with living authentically in a world that does not always make that easy. You can just be yourself here. That is the whole point.

Grief Recovery Center
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LPC, LCSW, LMFT, LP, LPA-IPA
If you are part of the LGBTQIA+ community and seeking mental health support, you deserve care that is respectful, affirming, and grounded in understanding. Many individuals come to therapy to navigate identity exploration, anxiety, relationship challenges, family conflict, discrimination, or the emotional weight of feeling misunderstood.
LGBTQIA+ individuals experience higher rates of anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts — particularly transgender, nonbinary youth, and LGBTQIA+ youth of color. Affirming therapy provides a safe space where you can speak openly without having to explain or defend who you are.
At Grief Recovery Center in Houston, our licensed therapists and psychologists offer LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy both in person and online. We utilize trauma-informed, culturally competent approaches and understand how rejection, stigma, and isolation can impact mental health.
We support clients with identity and coming out, relationship and communication concerns, healing from rejection or shame, workplace stress or discrimination, body image challenges, family transitions, and emotional wellness across the lifespan.
Our goal is simple: to provide a space where you feel seen, respected, and supported. You don’t have to face these challenges alone — we’re here when you’re ready.

Cook Counseling and Consulting Inc.
Counselor/Therapist, LISW-S, LCSW-QS, CCTP
LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) issues therapy, also known as LGBT-affirmative therapy or LGBTQ+ counseling, provides LGBT community members with support and understanding tailored to their unique experiences and difficulties. LGBT-affirmative treatment seeks to create a secure and welcoming environment where clients can explore their identities, resolve concerns about their sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression, and work toward greater self-acceptance and well-being.
Therapists who provide LGBT-affirmative therapy know the potential effects of heteronormativity, cisnormativity, and other forms of prejudice on their clients. They endeavor to foster an accepting, affirming, and nonjudgmental environment of diverse gender and sexual identities.
Not all therapists have specialized training or experience working with LGBT issues. If you are looking for LGBT-affirming therapy, it is recommended that you seek out therapists who advertise their expertise in this area or inquire about their experience with LGBT clients during the initial consultation.
Overall, LGBT-affirmative therapy aims to assist LGBT individuals in navigating their unique challenges, developing resilience, and fostering positive mental health and well-being in a secure and affirming therapeutic environment.

Dr. Amy Hecht
Psychologist, PhD
I work with individuals and couples across the LGBTQ+ spectrum, supporting a wide range of experiences related to identity, relationships, and family building. This can include exploring questions of identity and self-understanding, navigating coming out, managing family dynamics, and building affirming, meaningful relationships.
I have particular experience working with LGBTQ+ individuals and couples pursuing non-traditional paths to parenthood, including adoption, surrogacy, and donor conception. I understand both the unique stressors and the profound strengths that can come with these journeys.
My approach is affirming, nuanced, and grounded in deep respect for each person’s lived experience. I aim to create a space where clients feel fully seen and understood, while also helping them navigate challenges with clarity, confidence, and a strong sense of self.

Dr. Walter J. Matweychuk
Psychologist, Ph.D.
When bias and discrimination are part of a person's problems, I show them how not to anger themselves and then how to address the prejudice and discrimination constructively. In cases where people are shameful about their sexuality, I teach them how to unconditionally accept themselves and never to shame themselves for who they are and what they like both sexually and non-sexually.

Dr. Caroline Hicks
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Sexual orientation and gender identity development are my areas of focus, and we use this space to make sure all intersecting identities (e.g., racial, religious, political, national) are considered as you find your authentic path in the world. This space is one where we can focus on your sexual orientation and/or gender identity development, or use these identities as a source of context to our work. In addition, I work with many trans*, non-binary, gender nonconforming, gender fluid, and other gender expansive folx as they embark on their path of congruence. In addition, I write letters of support for gender affirming surgeries/medical procedures.

Josh Murray- Hopeful Minds
Psychologist, MA, LLP
LGBTQIA-specific therapy provides affirming care for individuals whose gender identity and/or sexuality generally differ from those who identify as cisgender (gender and/or expression aligns with sex assigned at birth) and heterosexual (attracted to the opposite sex).
Stigma and “minority stress”, including experiences of violence, discrimination, prejudice, and other negative social encounters due to gender identity, expression, or sexuality, contribute to a greater likelihood that people in this community will develop mental health challenges.
LGBTQ therapy provided by licensed mental health professionals is a valuable resource for members of the LGBTQIA community. Finding the right therapist who understands the challenges of gender transition, gender nonconforming identity, and discrimination can be critical to resolving mental health issues, relationship issues, and anger management. LGBTQ therapy offers a safe, supportive space to discuss lesbian, gay, bisexual, and gender nonconforming concerns, providing immediate help and affirming care.

Dan Cooke
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW, CAADC, ADS
I have worked directly with LGBTQ+ people as a focus of my practice and as an ally, as having a gender affirming therapist is essential for a person's wellness. Teenagers and young adults often benefit from the support and open ended dialogue in therapy sessions. Aspects of gender and sexuality are diverse and are a significant part of the therapy process specifically for transgender people going through any transitions such as beginning hormone therapy. We coordinate care with your doctor and/or endocrenologist when needed.
