LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapists in Hurst, TX
I’m Mark (He/They), local neurodivergent queer weirdo, here to help.
Clients come to me for a therapist who is grounded, authentic, and easy to talk to. I despise sterile sessions, so you won’t find that here. Let’s actually get to know each other like real life human beings. I don’t sugarcoat, but I do show up with compassion and respect.

In addition, I am part of the LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities and hope to foster a safe space for all.
After years of working with individuals from all walks of life, my goal with each of my clients is to assist them in fostering their own sense of self. Often, we already know the solutions to the problems we face, but the stress of life can make identifying them a challenge. By using a mindfulness centered approach my hope is to walk with my clients in their journeys towards those answers. The tools I use in my practice are CBT, IFS, EMDR, and mindfulness modalities; along with a healthy dose of psycho-education.

You’re the one everyone counts on; driven, independent, and always moving. Slowing down feels uncomfortable. Emotions feel messy. You pride yourself on keeping it together, figuring things out on your own, and thinking your way through problems rather than feeling them. But if you are honest, there’s a part of you that’s tired of playing that role. A part that wonders why connection feels so hard, why vulnerability feels unsafe, and why, no matter how much you achieve, it never really feels like enough.

The weird ones, the queer ones, the wicked smart ones, etc.
One day you’re buying them a cute backpack with dinosaurs on it, and the next, you’re living with a tiny, volatile human who treats a slightly-too-long pause in your sentence like a personal declaration of war. Welcome to the middle school years—where the social drama is high-octane, the "Comparison Trap" is a literal pit of despair, and your child’s mood changes faster than a TikTok trend.
It’s intense. It’s loud. And for you, the parent, it’s exhausting.

Are you deconstructing your faith? Are you trying to set boundaries with others and establish autonomy? You don't have to walk through this process alone.

My previous experience includes work in domestic violence, substance misuse treatment, psychiatry case management, and social-emotional education for children in foster care.

You are navigating the wild world of adulting, and let's be real, it's A LOT. Maybe you thought you had it all figured out in high school, but now you're staring down college, or a new job, or just trying to discover who you are, and it feels like everyone can see that you have no clue what you are doing.
You're bombarded with classes, or trying to pay rent, maintain relationships, and still keep up with what life throws at you. Maybe you're feeling totally isolated, just going through the motions of what you imagine a “real grown up” should be. You're feeling directionless, but the pressure to have it all together is everywhere.

You are drowning right now as a parent.
You've got a kid who is struggling, and you feel like you’ve tried everything to help them, but you’re out of ideas and don’t know where to go from here.
Or you’re mid-divorce, terrified this will ruin all of your lives, and have no idea how you are going to work together in this “new normal” that everyone talks about.
There’s a big transition taking over every aspect of your day to day, and you don’t know how to support your family through it, much less yourself.

LGBTQ+ Therapists
Do LGBTQ-affirmative therapists receive special training?
Yes. Many therapists who practice LGBTQ-affirmative therapy have completed specialized training, either during their degree program or as continuing education, to learn the core principles of affirmative therapy and how to best support their LGBTQ clients; some have received certifications in LGBTQ-affirmative therapy. Prospective clients should inquire as to a clinician’s background and training to ensure a good fit.
Why might I want to see an LGBTQ-affirming or LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
Queer and gender-non-conforming individuals frequently experience bias and marginalization in day-to-day life. Working with a therapist who understands these unique challenges, as well as accepts and affirms their identity, can help LGBTQ clients feel safe and supported during therapy—allowing them to better navigate their relationships, mental health, and anything else that they wish to explore during therapy. It is important to note that many therapists can be effective in their work with LGBTQ+ individuals, even in the absence of specific training or background knowledge. The most important component in therapy is the alliance between therapist and client, and this alliance can exist between individuals with very different backgrounds.
How can I find an LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
You may wish to inquire about a therapist’s expertise with your specific challenges or concerns—depression, for example, or relationship strife—as well as their past experiences treating LGBTQ+ clients. Prospective clients may also ask whether a therapist has obtained additional training and/or certification in LGBTQ-affirmative techniques.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience with LGBTQ issues?
Prospective clients should feel empowered to directly ask therapists whether they have received training or been certified in LGBTQ-affirming therapy; competent therapists will be happy to explain their educational background and preferred approach(es) to help a client find the best match for them. Clients may also wish to ask how a therapist has treated clients with their particular challenges in the past and what they expect treatment to look like.
Are all the therapists listed in the LGBTQ directory themselves members of the LGBTQ community?
While therapists may choose to disclose their sexual orientation or gender identity in their profiles, the LGBTQ directory features not only those who have shared this information but also those who assert specialized training or experience in providing support to queer individuals, couples or families.
