Tina Nickels
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
I have the lived experience of being persecuted for my sexual orientation. I was a late bloomer and my coming out was not traumatic or painful. Yet, I understand what you are going through. I am very open-minded and there is no judgment here. I believe everyone should have a seat at the table.

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.

I support clients in addressing internalized shame, setting healthy boundaries, and developing a more integrated and authentic sense of self. Together, we focus on fostering resilience, clarity, and meaningful connection in both personal and relational life.

Arlington sits between Dallas and Fort Worth at the heart of the DFW Metroplex and serves a large suburban residential population navigating the particular stresses of fast-growing communities — long commutes, family pressure, and the challenges of raising children in a rapidly changing environment. The city has a large Hispanic and growing South Asian population, with increasing demand for culturally affirming and bilingual therapists. The University of Texas at Arlington provides a significant student population, and the city is served by Medical City Arlington and Texas Health Arlington Memorial Hospital for institutional mental health needs. Many Arlington residents also access therapy across the wider DFW metro, making the city part of a larger regional therapy ecosystem centered on Dallas and Fort Worth.
