Non-Binary Therapists in Dallas, TX
As a queer, neurodivergent therapist, my passion is to create a space for queer and neurodivergent immigrants to feel seen and accepted. It is not uncommon for first, second and third culture folks to have experienced therapy that didn’t make space for their cultural identity and sometimes even required them to conform to an individualistic social culture; when the truth is, you don’t have to. You don’t have to suppress or hide any parts of yourself to show up in the world, and you definitely don’t have to do that in this therapeutic space.

As a queer Black, Indigenous therapist, I specialize in queer-affirmative therapy, sex therapy, racial and sexual identity formation, minority stress, and generational trauma. I collaborate with clients through a social justice-oriented, culturally responsive, and systems-informed framework while rooted in a decolonial-based approach. This typically looks like working with individuals who may be navigating systemic inequities and oppression, struggling with life transitions, or experiencing the heaviness of human suffering that may manifest as grief, loss, depression, and/or anxiety.

Every day feels like a rollercoaster of worry, and you’re stuck in a cycle of seeking relief in distractions? You’ve poured everything into helping loved ones, only to hit a frustrating wall? Your mind is a battleground of conflicting thoughts, making decisions and changes seems not worth the fight? Tasks pile up, and the idea of starting to tackle them is overwhelming you? Wearing a mask, even with yourself, becomes a necessity to feel somewhat okay? Strong emotions trigger panic or self-harm, and the pain or numbness feels easier in the dark places? Things you used to love no longer bring joy, and even laughter feels empty?

I offer specialized therapy for queer and neurodivergent adults facing complex trauma, maladaptive self-image, dissociative concerns, spiritual and identity development, and mood disorders. My approach also addresses intersectional trauma related to family dynamics, religious abuse, sexual issues, and personal development. Trauma often intersects with challenges like anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and relationship struggles, affecting our mind-body connection. It’s easy to feel stuck and lose hope, but healing is possible. I provide a safe, inclusive space that is also sex worker-friendly.

As a therapist I aim to help you explore the past experiences that shaped you, the future you hope to achieve, and the ways you may feel stuck somehow in the patterns of life you are living today. Behind those frustrating feelings, such as “Why am I like this?” and “Why do I keep doing this thing?”, there may be parts of you that have never before been brought to light or put into words. I may ask you questions that challenge you to take a deeper dive into who you are and perhaps discover new avenues for who you may become.

You might find yourself thinking, "I’m tired of feeling tired." It’s not just from lack of sleep or being overworked. It’s deeper, more complex. It's a kind of tired that makes you question your existence, your desires, your dreams. It goes beyond hopelessness. People don't seem to get it. What if someone did get it? What if you didn’t have to explain it? What if you didn't have to feel it alone? Would the world open up for you? Would it help you find the strength to face the tiredness?
If this sounds familiar, I can help. Therapy can be a place to feel seen, understood, and supported.

My therapeutic approach is holistic and Self-driven, honoring the sacred nature of mind, body, and spirit. My focus is leading you back to Self. You are your own expert! Our upbringing often severs us from a natural understanding of ourselves, and I aim to bring people back to internal and external balance. Healing trauma and its effects on the mind and body is my main focus.
If oppression against your marginalized identities has not been appropriately explored in therapy, or if recent political and global events have activated deep fears, it is also my priority to maintain a sacred space for witnessing those wounds.

The weight of past trauma has profound effects on the body and mind. If your daily responsibilities and obligations feel like they are crushing you and leave little room for your own well-being, I understand. I have been there myself and walked alongside many who are navigating life’s challenges. I have seen clients that struggle with complex trauma, LGBTQ+ issues, religious abuse, dissociative disorders, depression, anxiety, self-harm, suicidal ideations, and/or substance use to find relief when they have a safe space to let out the emotions that have been trapped inside of them.

Is this your first time being a human? It can be complicated and weird! There’s no how-to manual to help navigate the many challenges of being alive: anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, religious baggage, sexual and gender identity questions, or staying focused amongst many competing forces looking to capture your time. Nevertheless, here you are. Trying your best. Maybe you’re feeling overwhelmed, exhausted. Maybe wondering if you’re doing it “wrong.” I can promise you: you're not.

You are far more powerful than you know, and I hope to help you explore your power.

When the world feels like it's imploding, how do you stay grounded? Does life and its challenges feel like they're never ending? Do you feel like what you are doing is not enough, or wish you could be doing more?
In my practice, I work from a decolonizing, anti capitalist lens, actively acknowledging and dismantling systems of oppression while examining their impacts on your mental health and wellbeing.

You’re usually the one who has it all together, but lately, you don’t even recognize the person in the mirror. As a high-achiever who feels the world deeply, you’ve been conditioned by "Human-Giver Syndrome" to over-pour into others while leaving your own cup empty. You’re exhausted and hitting a wall you can’t productivity-hack your way out of. Whether you’re navigating the not-enoughness of gender roles & expectations or the heavy weight of systemic stress, I see you. You don’t have to keep feeling broken; you just need a space where it is finally safe for YOU to receive care.

You deserve an expansive and liberated life. Many of my clients are exploring what it means to be their most authentic self, and how to deal with the barriers that stand in their way. They're looking for a place to be seen and understood, and to be able to let down their guard. I see clients who are navigating identity, sexuality, and belonging; those with trauma histories, anxiety, and depression, looking for relief and a deeper healing that takes them to a place of ease and fulfillment. They may have tried other solutions, but feel stuck and eager for a lasting and meaningful change.

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
The gender of your therapist can matter, depending on your individual comfort preferences and therapeutic goals. While therapy outcomes are often driven by the therapist’s methodology and the strength of the therapeutic relationship, many people feel more at ease working with a therapist who shares or understands their gender identity, which can enhance trust and improve therapy outcomes. For clients who are non-binary or gender-diverse, working with a therapist of a similar identity may reduce the need to explain or justify their experiences and can increase the sense of being seen and understood. This dynamic may be especially important when addressing topics related to gender, sexuality, trauma, or relationships. Ultimately, what matters most is finding a therapist who is respectful and knowledgeable of your identity—regardless of their own gender.
What are the advantages of seeing a non-binary therapist?
Working with a non-binary therapist can offer unique benefits for individuals seeking support around gender identity. Therapists who personally identify as non-binary may bring both professional training and personal insight to their work, creating a therapeutic space that some clients may find more affirming and welcoming. These therapists often have specialized knowledge in areas such as gender-affirming care, gender dysphoria, and navigating family or social acceptance. They may also be particularly skilled in helping clients find additional resources, such as affirming healthcare providers or community-based supports that align with and affirm their identity.
How can I find a non-binary therapist?
The Psychology Today online directory is a helpful tool for identifying therapists who identify as non-binary. You can use filters to search by identity markers as well as by clinical specialty, therapeutic approach, insurance accepted, session costs, and languages spoken to help ensure a good fit. During an initial consultation or early sessions, consider asking about the therapist’s training in gender-affirming care, their experience with LGBTQ+ clients, and their therapeutic approach to identity-related topics. An effective therapist will be open and affirming in their responses. You can also look for credentials or continuing education in areas such as LGBTQ+ mental health, trauma-informed care, and intersectionality.
