Counseling for Houston’s queer and trans communities.
LGBTQIA+ Therapy
Are you exploring your sexuality or gender?
Did your religious upbringing make you feel wrong, shameful, or unacceptable?
Have you experienced physical or emotional abuse because of who you are?
Are you struggling with social or family rejection?
Are you experiencing relationship issues with your partner(s)?
Do discrimination, heteronormativity, and social or political attacks make you depressed and anxious?
Queer communities experience greater oppression and stigmatization than cisgender, heterosexual people, and as a result, suffer higher rates of mental illness, including depression, anxiety, trauma, and substance use, to name a few.
That’s why we’re passionate about social justice and meeting the specific needs of LGBTQIA+ clients.
We also understand that your concerns and treatment goals may not deal directly with your orientation, sex, or gender at all.
We are here to provide a safe and comfortable space for you to explore all facets of your emotional and psychological health and wellbeing.
Our therapists will meet you where you are and work with you to craft a highly personalized plan to help you achieve your wellness goals.
Restoring Hope Counseling is a supportive and affirming space committed to serving LGBTQIA+ folks.
We understand the unique experiences and stressors of queer and trans people and stand with you as allies and advocates. Affectional orientation, gender identity, and sexuality are integral to who we are. At Restoring Hope, you can rest assured that all parts of you are seen, valued, considered, and celebrated.
