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.
Call or text 832-413-2410 to schedule an appointment and begin your healing.

Iris Bowen
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, MBA
As a queer therapist, I am well versed in LGBTQIA+ issues and experiences and provide gender-affirming care based in both personal experience and professional education. I am a cis therapist holding a certificate in Affirmative Therapies for Transgender Communities and am intentional in continuing my education to provide high-quality care to trans and enby folks. One of my values as a cis therapist is to educate myself on trans issues so that my trans clients don’t have to. From it’s inception, my practice primarily works with queer and trans people of color.

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.

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.

Philadelphia Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PsyD
Sexual orientations and identities are an integral part of the lens through which we experience the world around us. As human beings are social creatures, emotional, romantic, and/or sexual attractions to others are a common experience for us all. However, in an oftentimes heteronormative society, understanding and exploring what it means to be attracted to someone of the same sex, gender, or identity vector can be a confusing process. For some, trying to navigate the differences between romantic and sexual attractions might be a novel process as we are often taught to place emphasis largely on sexual compatibility. Even further, some might find that they are interested in folks from several sexual or gender identities in different ways. Whichever scenario is applicable to you, the clinicians at PCT firmly believe that having a safe space for this exploration is essential to figuring out what feels right for you and the relationships you wish to curate.
Additionally, navigating the “coming out” process can be its own challenge; much like other identity vectors, sexual orientation is greatly influenced by race, cultural background, ethnic group, religion, political identity, and ability status. The “coming out” process is not a linear process and we want to support you wherever you might be on your sexual identity journey. To that end, we at PCT highly respect each identity represented on the LBGTQIA+ spectrum. Each letter holds incredible weight by representing its own unique community of people with their own unique set of challenges. We want you to rest assured that, regardless of which LGBTQIA+ identity you hold, our clinicians are ready to provide you with affirming care as fierce advocates and allies of all sexual and gender identities.
Lastly, we know that for those coming in for couples therapy, there are a myriad of similarities and differences between those of LGBTQIA+ couples and straight couples. In this type of work, we remain open to exploring whichever issues seem most pressing to the couple. Depending on your relationship and personal history, you might find that there are several different areas you may wish to explore with your partner as you seek to bolster your relationship. Some examples of these are, and are not limited to, the following: navigating sexual identity changes mid-relationship, exploring LGBTQIA+ parenthood, coming out difficulties, sexual intimacy issues, examining relational trauma, and exploring polyamory. Regardless of your presenting concern, we look forward to working with you and joining you on your journey to continued self-discovery.

Dan Walinsky
Psychologist, PhD
Much of my career has focused on supporting LGBTQIA people in any number of ways. Whether you're at a point where you're considering coming out, if you're exploring your sexual or gender identity, or need space to process the important relationships in your life, this can be a great space to do some work. Many LGBTQIA people have had to make compromises in their lives to fit into social norms that don't mirror queer realities, and doing so can leave a real impact. I love to help LGBTQIA people work toward becoming more fully themselves.

Dr. Lindsay Perrin
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I am committed to providing LGBTQ+ affirming care and creating a therapeutic environment where clients feel respected, understood, and free to be their authentic selves. For some individuals, questions related to sexual orientation or gender identity may be a central focus of therapy; for others, these aspects of identity are simply one part of a broader life experience. Regardless of what brings you to therapy, I strive to foster a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can openly explore your concerns, build on your strengths, and work toward meaningful change.
