LGBT Issues therapists in Plano, Texas TX

I empower LGBTQ+ clients to step out of destructive patterns, create satisfying, loving relationships with themselves and others, and find solutions. I am honest, compassionate and straightforward. I welcome clients of all genders, identities and relationship types.  

I have much experiencing working with LGBTQ individuals and the challenges they face.  

Utilizing a client centered approach, I will meet you where you are and process issues unique to the LGBTQ+ population.  

Dr. Lucy Underwood and Associates are LGBT affirming clinicians. We work with youth and adults who are experiencing developmental distress with gender identity and sexual identity. Family Systems Therapy is often beneficial to educate the client's family system and create a safe, secure environment to be authentic.  

I understand the unique challenges and joys of being apart of the LGBTQIA+ community. Whether it is navigating the complexities of coming out, social prejudice, impact of family relationships, or simply wanting a greater sense of self-love, my goal is to provide you validation, support, and strategies for resilience and empowerment.  

I understand alternative lifestyles and provide a safe, caring, and non-judgmental environment for you to work on the issues. I recognize that you do not need blame or stereotypes regarding your past decisions and offer individualized treatment to help you make changes that are best for you.  

We have a diverse group who represents many sub demographics of the community, and we offer affirming services to promote self-acceptance.  

I create a safe environment where members of the LGBT community feel safe and heard.  

Are you have issues with gender identity or gender transition? Do you need support while undergoing gender therapy? Do you need a safe place to talk through questions and stress around your sexual orientation and sexuality? I am here to be a non-judgmental support for you to process your feelings and thoughts and to figure out how to speak your truth and become more comfortable with your identity or taking time to figure it out.  

As a part of the community myself, I have a big heart for and experience with the specific needs of the LGBTQ community. I recognize what a challenge it is for people from many different backgrounds in dealing with all the aspects around this issue. Church hurt for the LGBTQ population is an area of particular interest of mine as, together, many clients and I have examined ways to deal with past experiences of rejection and pain while developing ways to find safe environments where trust can be rebuilt and hope restored.
