Welcome. My name is Beatriz Alaniz or "Betty" and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas. I provide a warm and welcoming environment with a focus on individuals who have experienced trauma, losses, grief, and relationship woes seeking healing. I believe in people's capability to be resilient in the face of adversity. I will work with you to make sure you can see yourselves as the resilient individual you are.
Hi! My name is Ryn and I'm excited to get to know you. My curious and warm personality encourage my clients to share and feel at ease during sessions. My focus is rapport buliding as a strong therapeutic relationship will set us up for success. The first session will lay the context for treatment and during, you will identify your goals of therapy. I use humor and a strengths based approach to care. I'm direct when needed and will meet you where you are emotionally.
I have had the pleasure of practicing psychotherapy for more than 15 years helping adolescent and adults in both individual and family therapy. As a minority LBGTQ+ identified therapist, you and I will utilize Cognitive Behavior to explore and examine your thoughts, feelings and behaviors towards more rationally conscious and healthy patterns
I’ve been where you are. As someone in long-term recovery, I understand the challenges firsthand and bring both empathy and 15 years of professional counseling experience to support you in finding your own path and developing your strengths. I work with adolescents, people struggling with substance use, and those facing anxiety, depression, grief, or trauma.
I specialize in working with individuals in recovery and LGBTQ+ clients, helping you build resilience, explore your goals, and discover practical strategies that fit your life.
My approach is collaborative and empowering—you set the pace, and I walk alongside you with understanding, guidance, and support as you create meaningful change and uncover the strengths you already have within.
Hi, I’m Marilia. I offer therapy in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, and I strive to create a calm, welcoming space where you feel heard and respected. I help clients work through anxiety, depression, relationship stress, life changes, and emotional pain. My goal is to help you feel less alone, better understood, and more supported as you take steps toward healing.

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.
Finding an LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist in Corpus Christi starts with knowing what kind of support matters most to you. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, gender identity, or the effects of minority stress, a provider with specific experience in LGBTQIA+ mental health care can make a meaningful difference. Licensed providers — such as LPCs, LCSWs, psychologists, and psychiatrists — who identify as affirming have training or direct experience working with queer and gender-diverse individuals.
Corpus Christi is a mid-sized metro, and the number of local LGBTQIA+-affirming providers may be more limited than in larger Texas cities like Houston or San Antonio. Virtual sessions can expand your options significantly, connecting you with affirming providers licensed in Texas who may not practice locally. On Headway, you can browse providers by specialty and read detailed bios to understand their approach and background before reaching out.
Therapy in Corpus Christi can be expensive without insurance, but in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans. You can enter your insurance details on Headway to see estimated session costs before booking — and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit depending on their plan and location.
