LGBTQIA+ & Queer-Affirming Care
Living Authentically Beyond the Binary and the Burden
In a society that often demands conformity, the act of living authentically as a queer, trans, or non-binary individual is both a triumph and a labor. I provide a specialized, deeply affirming space where your identity is not a "topic to be managed," but a sacred part of your humanity. With my background in the QTAP Certification Training, I offer more than just "tolerance"—I offer a high-level clinical understanding of the unique stressors and joys inherent in the LGBTQIA+ experience.
Navigating the Minority Stress System
We don't just look at your internal world; we use Systems Theory to address how the external world impacts your mental health. We work through:
Minority Stress & Burnout: Addressing the chronic exhaustion that comes from navigating heteronormative and cisnormative systems.
Internalized Shame: Deconstructing the "inner critic" shaped by religious or social constructs of inequity.
The "Coming Out" Evolution: Supporting the ongoing process of disclosure with family, workplace, and spiritual communities.
For Individuals & Couples: Queer-Specific Relational Care
Using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Attachment Theory, I help LGBTQIA+ individuals and couples build secure, resilient bonds:
Chosen Family & Community: Exploring the vital role of non-traditional support systems in your healing.
Navigating Transition: Providing clinical support for individuals and their partners through the emotional and systemic shifts of gender transition.
Spiritual Deconstruction: With my Master of Divinity, I provide a rare sanctuary for queer individuals to process spiritual trauma and reclaim a sense of meaning without sacrificing their identity.
Affirming Your Narrative
Whether you are navigating rejection sensitivity from family, seeking letters for gender-affirming care, or simply want a therapist who understands the nuances of queer life without you having to explain them, I am here.
"The healing space generated between therapist and client is one of the greatest honors of my life." In this space, you are seen, you are safe, and you are celebrated.

Christina Song
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT-S
I provide affirming, trauma-informed therapy for LGBTQ+ individuals and relationships. I understand that distress often arises not from identity itself, but from navigating stigma, discrimination, family rejection, and systems that were not built with queer and trans people in mind. Therapy is a space where your identity is not questioned, explained, or treated as a phase—it is respected and affirmed.
In our work together, we may explore identity development, relationships, boundaries, trauma, and the impact of chronic stress on your nervous system and sense of safety. I approach care with cultural humility, consent, and an awareness of power, offering support that centers resilience, self-trust, and authenticity. Therapy with me is about creating space to breathe, to heal, and to live more fully as yourself.

Alanna Preylo
Therapist, LMSW
Being Queer and/or Trans in the South can be isolating. Historically, Community has been how we keep ourselves safe as Queer and Trans folx. With how the world stands today, it is impossible to find or create that Community. It's hard to maintain Community in the face of Oppression. It's hard to experience and process unique feelings like dysphoria without a space to honor you or people to grieve with you.

Phillip McCulley
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, CSAT
I provide LGBTQ affirming therapy for individuals and couples who are navigating coming out, self acceptance, and the impact of sexual orientation or gender identity on family relationships. These experiences can bring a mix of relief, fear, grief, and hope, especially when family responses feel uncertain, unsupportive, or complex.
In therapy, I offer a space where you can explore your identity at your own pace without pressure or judgment. This may include working through internalized shame, fear of rejection, or questions about how and when to come out. I also help clients navigate conversations with family members, partners, or loved ones in ways that prioritize emotional safety and clarity.
For many people, this work involves redefining boundaries, strengthening self trust, and learning how to remain connected to others without compromising who they are. Whether you are seeking acceptance, repairing family relationships, or grieving the loss of hoped for support, my goal is to help you build a more grounded and authentic relationship with yourself and with the people in your life.

Salutaris Psychotherapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
LGBTQ+ issues can involve much more than labels—they often touch identity, family, relationships, culture, faith, safety, belonging, and the pressure of deciding when and how to be fully yourself. In therapy, I provide an affirming space for clients exploring coming out, self-acceptance, relationship concerns, cultural identity, shame, rejection, or the stress of balancing different parts of themselves in different worlds. My style is warm, practical, sometimes humorous, and grounded in real life. Together, we work toward clarity, confidence, healthier relationships, and a stronger sense of living in a way that feels honest and aligned with who you are.

Brownsville is one of the southernmost cities in the United States and sits directly on the US-Mexico border — sharing the border with Matamoros, Tamaulipas — with a population that is over 90% Hispanic and where Spanish is the dominant language of daily life, making bilingual, bicultural therapy not a specialty but the baseline expectation for meaningful access to care. The city's poverty rate is among the highest in the United States, and therapists here frequently address the compounding effects of economic stress, immigration-related family separation, and the chronic anxiety of border community life. Valley Baptist Medical Center and the UT Health RGV system provide institutional mental health resources for the Rio Grande Valley region. The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley's psychology and counseling programs supply clinical training to a region that remains significantly underserved relative to its mental health needs.
