LGBTQ+ Issues
Dan Cooke
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW, CAADC, ADS
I have worked directly with LGBTQ+ people as a focus of my practice and as an ally, as having a gender affirming therapist is essential for a person's wellness. Teenagers and young adults often benefit from the support and open ended dialogue in therapy sessions. Aspects of gender and sexuality are diverse and are a significant part of the therapy process specifically for transgender people going through any transitions such as beginning hormone therapy. We coordinate care with your doctor and/or endocrenologist when needed.

Rebecca Turner
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, MA Counseling, school counselor K-12th
Being part of this community myself I have a big heart and also quite a bit of training in this field. I am very open and supporting and compassionate with the struggles many LGBT people have gone through. We were to process any trauma and move on from that pain so that he or she or they can live their most fulfilling life.

LGBTQ+ Issues
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.
