Erica Hart
Psychologist, PhD in Clinical Psychology
As a bisexual woman, I seek to affirm and support my LGBT clients. I understand how complex our relationship can be to our sexuality, and work to help clients through various issues such as internalized homophobia, biphobia, and transphobia, values conflicts (e.g. with family, culture or religion), and supporting through the coming out process. I work with many Ace/Aro individuals as well as trans and non-binary folks.

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.

Bold Expressions Therapy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
As a member of the LGBT community, and as someone who holds degrees both in psychology and LGBT Health and Policy, I couple an academic understanding of the unique disparities that come with these identities with a profound personal knowledge of them in my own life. Not all patients have had positive experiences with the medical community, so it is my hope that my education and bisexual identity will serve my patients in a way that makes them feel both heard and seen. I also recognize that our identities can be static, or they can be fluid, and that the coming out process isn’t something we do just once: we do it over and over again. I do not personally identify as cisgender, and so I approach the issues facing the transgender, nonbinary, genderqueer, and gender non-conforming communities with deep empathy and personal understanding. From fluidity to transitioning, hormone replacement therapy, to writing letters for surgery, I am committed to supporting my clients on their journeys. Not everyone experiences their own gender in the same way, so the discussion of gender as a construct and societal gender norms is at the forefront of our discussions in working through the big mess that is gender.

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.

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.
