I can offer inclusive, affirming therapy in a safe, nonjudgmental space. Some of the work we might do together is navigating the decision to come out to friends and family, healing from family rejection and societal trauma, coping tools for anxiety, depression, and guidance for navigating the workplace and relationships.

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.

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.

Richardson is a Dallas suburb known as the Telecom Corridor—a stretch of US-75 that hosts major operations of telecommunications and technology companies including Ericsson, AT&T, and Samsung—giving the city a concentrated tech economy and a highly educated, diverse professional workforce. The city has a significant and growing South Asian and Asian-American population tied to the technology industry, and culturally competent therapy that addresses the specific mental health experiences of these communities—including intergenerational conflict, acculturation stress, and mental health stigma—is in increasing demand. The University of Texas at Dallas is located in Richardson and contributes a student and young professional population to the local community. Common therapy concerns include tech industry stress and burnout, South Asian and Asian-American identity and family dynamics, anxiety, and the relocation challenges of a tech workforce that moves frequently for career opportunities.
