Shawna Damiani
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Finding a therapist who truly gets it — not just tolerates it, not just claims to be "open-minded," but actually understands the nuance of your experience — makes all the difference. At Love Let Out, LGBTQ+ affirming care isn't a checkbox. It's woven into everything we do.
We work with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning individuals who are navigating the full range of what it means to live and love authentically in a world that doesn't always make that easy. That might look like coming out — to family, to a partner, to a workplace, or to yourself. It might look like processing the particular grief and anger that comes with rejection from people who were supposed to love you unconditionally. It might look like untangling internalized shame that got in long before you had the words to name it.
It might also have nothing to do with your identity at all. LGBTQ+ individuals deal with anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, trauma, and every other human experience — and deserve a therapist who understands their full context without making their identity the focus when it isn't.
We are also deeply affirming of gender diversity. Whether you are exploring your gender identity, navigating transition, or simply trying to find language for an experience that has always felt hard to name, you will be met here with knowledge, respect, and genuine care.
You should never have to educate your therapist, defend your identity, or wonder whether you are fully welcome. At Love Let Out, you already are.

Michelle Bloom, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD, PsyPact
I believe that identity in all its manifestations is on a spectrum, not a binary, and that one of the goals for creating a meaningful life is finding and developing healthy love for self and others. Who we love, how we love, and how we define ourselves in terms of gender and sexuality and how we communicate that to ourselves and others can be a beautiful, freeing process. I wish to help my clients embrace, celebrate, and express their identity.

Tina Nickels
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
I have the lived experience of being persecuted for my sexual orientation. I was a late bloomer and my coming out was not traumatic or painful. Yet, I understand what you are going through. I am very open-minded and there is no judgment here. I believe everyone should have a seat at the table.

Austin's explosive tech-industry growth has brought an influx of young professionals navigating burnout, identity shifts, and the pressures of rapid lifestyle change in an increasingly expensive city. The city has a large LGBTQ+ community and strong demand for affirming therapists specializing in gender identity, relationship dynamics, and life transitions. The University of Texas and major hospital systems including Ascension Seton and St. David's HealthCare provide supplementary mental health resources alongside the city's growing network of private practices. Many Austin therapists offer telehealth, making it easier to find care across the wider metro and surrounding Hill Country communities.
