You should know that I truly care about who you are, not just the symptoms you’re experiencing. I understand that reaching out for mental health support can feel intimidating, especially if you’ve ever felt judged, misunderstood, or dismissed in the past. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and respected from the very first conversation.

I approach every person with compassion, patience, and curiosity. I take the time to understand your story, your stressors, and what matters most to you, so your care is never one-size-fits-all. I believe healing happens best when you feel supported and involved in your treatment, and I see our work as a true partnership.

I am committed to using evidence-based practices while also honoring your lived experience. Whether we are focusing on medication, coping strategies, or long-term growth, I will always be honest, supportive, and collaborative.

Above all, you should know that you are not alone here, and your well-being is my priority.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Amarillo

Finding the right LGBTQIA+-affirming provider in Amarillo starts with understanding what kind of support you're looking for. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, identity exploration, or the effects of minority stress, look for a licensed provider — such as an LPC, LCSW, psychologist, or psychiatrist — who has direct experience working with LGBTQ+ clients. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach, training, and whether they feel like a good match before you reach out.

In a smaller metro area like Amarillo, the number of local affirming providers may feel limited. Virtual sessions can significantly expand your options, connecting you with licensed professionals across Texas who specialize in LGBTQIA+ mental health care. Many providers on Headway offer both in-person and virtual appointments, so you can choose the format that fits your schedule and comfort level.

Therapy in Amarillo can be expensive without insurance, but affordable options exist when you use in-network coverage. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront. Many patients pay as low as $0 per visit, making it easier to prioritize consistent, affirming care.
