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.

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.

Jonathan Hock -- Men's Work
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Questions around sexuality and gender for men are often lived in silence, shaped by expectation, shame, or confusion about what it means to be oneself. I offer a space to explore these experiences without pressure to define or resolve them too quickly. Together, we examine identity, desire, and the tension between authenticity and belonging, while working through internalized narratives that may no longer serve you. The aim is not to force clarity, but to help you arrive at a way of being that feels honest, embodied, and fully your own.

Shannon Stern, LPC-S, LMHC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S, LMHC
I love working with women who identify as queer/lesbian/bi or are questioning their sexuality later in life. Perhaps this means you have been in a heteronormative relationship throughout your life, but are coming to terms with your authentic identity. This process can be distressing, especially as you navigate dating and talking-to friends/family about your orientation. Therapy can be helpful in providing a space to process emotions and receive support during this journey.

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.

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.

Dr. Amanda Malak
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist
With special attunement to providing support to LGBTQ+ individuals, I helppeople navigate challenges related to identity, coming out/letting in, relationships, and societal pressures. I support improving communication skills between family members with various belief systems fostering healthy relationships and developing coping strategies to enhance overall well-being. I offer a safe space where people can explore their feelings, choices, build self-acceptance, and address any concerns related to gender and sexual orientation. My approach includes using evidence-based therapies, such as CBT, to help manage issues like anxiety, depression, or discrimination that may arise. I specialize specifically with LGBTQ+ people from conservative backgrounds like conservative Muslims, Mormons, Christians, and many people from the Global South/Majority. Navigating these cultural dynamics adds a complexity that those from more progressive families and cultures may not understand.

Laredo is one of the most culturally unified US-Mexico border cities in the country — with a population that is over 95% Hispanic and where Spanish is the dominant language of daily life — making bilingual, bicultural therapists not a specialty but an essential baseline for meaningful access to care. The city's economy is driven by international trade and logistics, with one of the busiest land ports in the United States, and therapists frequently address the occupational stress of commercial transport workers alongside the immigration stress experienced by families maintaining ties on both sides of the border. Laredo Medical Center and the Laredo VA Outpatient Clinic provide institutional resources, while the therapy community overall is relatively sparse compared to the population's scale. Webb County's concentration of poverty and social stress amplifies the need for community-accessible mental health services.
