Melissa LaCour
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
I am currently completing an LGBTQ+ certificate program and am committed to providing affirming, culturally competent care for LGBTQ+ individuals and couples. This space is one where your identity is not a problem to be managed — it's simply part of who you are. I work with LGBTQ+ clients navigating identity, coming out, family acceptance, relationship dynamics, and the particular grief and resilience that comes with living authentically in a world that doesn't always make that easy.

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.

John Burkin
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LMHC, LPCC, LCPC, CPL, Registered Member MBACP
Identifying as a member of the LGBT community is not enough in my humble opinion to qualify me to be of assistance to clients. I have invested time and effort attending workshops, and continuing education forums to learn about the vast range of lived experiences which are represented. I do not propose to be an expert in any one person's individual life rather I share a desire of curiosity to know and learn and align with the goals you wish to create to heal and feel better while you know you are in a safe, non-judgmental space to do so.
15 Years Experience
Online in New Orleans, LA Louisiana (Online Only)
New Orleans carries deep collective trauma from Hurricane Katrina and subsequent flooding events, and therapists specializing in disaster recovery, PTSD, and community resilience remain in strong demand. The city's culture of celebration and togetherness can mask significant individual struggles with addiction, grief, and depression, and therapists here often work at the intersection of joy, loss, and survival. New Orleans' distinct cultural identity — rooted in African American, Creole, and Caribbean traditions — means culturally grounded and community-engaged therapy is particularly valued. Tulane Medical Center and University Medical Center New Orleans provide institutional mental health resources alongside a network of independent practitioners serving Uptown, Mid-City, and the Marigny.
