Bisexual Therapists in Houston, TX

Note: I am immediately available for scheduling appointments Hi! My name is Dr. Lana Holmes. I am a licensed clinical psychologist based in the metro Atlanta area. But more than that, I am a Black, bisexual , woman; a nerd; an Air Force brat; and a punk rocker at heart. I know that those of us who are marginalized and oppressed bear particular kinds of suffering that can be difficult to describe and understand, if you haven’t faced it. That’s why I connect my lived experiences with years of clinical education, training, and work; for a deeper and more authentic style of therapy.

Hello, there! I appreciate whole-person healing that addresses the mind, body, and soul. I believe that we are meant to live full, authentic lives. However, trauma, harm, and wounds can leave us feeling fragmented and stuck. I highly value connection with others in my life, which carries over into my counseling as I desire to create a safe, welcoming space for clients to show up as they are without fear of judgment. I am passionate about working with adults and children of all ages, as well as families from all walks of life, and witnessing their growth and development of self-confidence, grace, compassion, and emotional expression.

You are not okay. You want to be, but you don’t know how. You want someone to not just listen, but to give you real world solutions to help you move forward into the version of you who is happy, healthy, & whole. You are afraid it isn't possible. You know it will be hard & you are willing to do the work necessary as long as you have someone standing by you on this journey. You need someone to be real with you, not patronize you. You need a nonjudgmental & supportive space. You need to know that you are not alone, & it is okay to hope. I will hold that hope until you are ready to take it back from me. Let me show you the way forward.

You might have arrived here: feeling unseen, unheard, and unfulfilled in your life, struggling to break free of depression, anxiety, self-abandonment, holding back because of fear and self-doubt, finding it difficult to feel comfortable in your skin, exhausted carrying the weight & pain of the generations before you, unsure of where you belong at the intersections and in-betweens of your identity, feeling trapped by the oppressive systems that rob you of your joy, longing to feel restored, nurtured and nourished. You know you were meant for so much more than this. You deserve a life beyond struggle, scarcity, and self-sacrifice.

Are you tired of going to therapy and not knowing what’s going to happen from session to session? Do you know what your goals are for treatment? Do you need defined, organized care? Hi, my name is Ash. I’m an ADHDer and an advocate for neurodiversity. I provide lived experience education, psychotherapy, consulting, skills training, and advocacy services to neurodivergent people of all ages. In addition to being a Licensed Professional Counselor – Associate, under supervision of Dr. William Ross, LPC-S, I have the pleasure of being a special education teacher.

Are you looking for a therapist you can be yourself with? Do you identify as a gamer, a geek, or a misfit? Would you like to incorporate your fandoms into a deeper exploration of the self? Maybe you’ve tried therapy in the past with limited results. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, trauma, and addictions. I utilize techniques from Internal Family Systems, Mindfulness, and Somatic Experiencing in my work. I also specialize in psychedelic integration for those who use plant medicines as part of their healing journey. If any of this resonates with you, I would love to work with you.

Often times current situations are a symptom of underlying past trauma that permeate our daily lives. We will work together to uncover and confront these issues. In this approach, the development of a preferred solution is more important than clarifying and directly addressing the problem.

My biggest delight comes in helping people push through (and maybe even embrace!) the messiness of being human to live a life you find fulfilling. In my work, the people who seem to experience this most intensely and find healing with this kind of therapy are: -> people who identify as LGBTQIA+, ->people who experience psychosis, ->people who identify as rebels and troublemakers,-> people who feel outcast, misunderstood, or marginalized, ->people who are living lifestyles outside the “norm.” Often people come to work on existential angst, identity exploration, breaking stigmas, anxiety, trauma, and self worth/acceptance.

As an eating disorder and queer-informed therapist, my primary areas of focus are LGBTQIA+ related issues, gender exploration, eating disorder recovery, and supporting folx in healing their relationship with food and their bodies. I also work with a diverse group of clients on issues such as depression, anxiety, mood disorders, adjustment to life changes, and difficulties within relationships and family dynamics. I am committed to providing individualized and integrative psychotherapy services to adolescents, adults, and couples of all backgrounds and identities.

Greetings everyone. Teletherapy offers the exceptional opportunity for a therapist or life coach and client to facilitate an environment that encourages understanding, clarity, and growth. In this environment the client and therapist identity areas for work, as well as create a path that leads to understanding and empowerment. What is teletherapy? Teletherapy involves the use of real-time interactive video conferencing between a therapist and client(s) to communicate and provide care remotely with the requirement of being in the same location.

Do you have an important decision to make and unsure of next steps? Are you having problems communicating with important people in your life? Struggling with anxiety or depression? These are just a few of the questions a person seeking counseling may ask. I've been a counselor for 20 years in Houston, having worked in employee assistance (EAP), hospitals, hospice, county health and crisis intervention. I have been a teletherapist online many years, and I'm licensed in Florida as well. My ideal client is a high functioning individual or couple who have hit a "bump on the road" of life and require brief therapy to get back on track.

My overall goal of therapy is holding you accountable in a nonjudgmental way that supports your goals, validates your efforts, and challenges you in a way that aligns with your worldview. I like to offer feedback in an objective way and suggest skills and perspectives that you choose whether or not to implement. The methodology of my approach is conversation; two people in a room trying to figure things out while utilizing various perspectives, theories, and attempts. An emphasis of my time with you is always you; your goals, thoughts, emotions, and beliefs are valuable and I find exploring them in a therapeutic setting helpful.

Are you tired of being who you think you should be instead of who you are? Do you walk around pouring into everyones cup but yours? Have the events and repetitive cycles in your life left you feeling powerless and exhausted? You might tired of being the one to carry the weight of daily life alone. As your therapist, my goal is to meet you where you are & assist you with coming home to your most authentic self. No matter what stage you’re at in life or where you've been, healing is available to you. You get to decide what you want this new chapter of your life to look like.

My primary focus is helping clients build a fulfilling life based on their personal values & goals. I primarily work with older adolescents, adults, parents, and families with a variety of difficulties including: self-harm & suicidal behaviors, intense emotions/emotions that feel out of control, mood (depression and bipolar disorder), anxiety, and substance use disorders. I have extensive training treating disorders during pregnancy and the postpartum period, as well. My style is collaborative and compassionate, as well as evidence based, meaning I use treatments that have been supported by research to show they are effective.

Are you experiencing symptoms of depression and anxiety; addiction; or the residual effects of trauma? I believe that you, as the client, are the expert of your own story. I am here to provide you with a unique personalized approach to psychotherapy that is person-centered; and focuses on your strengths and your potential. If you are someone who experienced relational trauma as a child, you may be experiencing difficulty navigating relationships as an adult. Through a therapeutic relationship, you will find a stepping stone from which to develop a more meaningful way of being in the world.
