LGBT therapists in Edinburg, TX

Hi, I'm Michael Jackson, LPC, a therapist dedicated to helping adults navigate life's challenges in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment. I specialize in working with clients experiencing grief and loss, trauma, relationship concerns, men's issues, LGBTQIA+ concerns, domestic violence, and racial dynamics. My goal is to help clients gain insight, build resilience, and develop practical tools to create meaningful change. I currently accept new adult clients for telehealth, and I accept insurance. Whether you're facing a difficult transition or seeking personal growth, I'm here to support you on your journey.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Texas with nearly 30 years of experience in the mental health field. I completed my Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology (1995–1997) at Mississippi College, graduating with Special Distinction. My experience includes work within psychiatric hospitals, the prison system, and specialized Christian‐based care through my internship at Charter Hospital in North Jackson, Mississippi where I served within the Rapha division. After relocating to Texas in 2001, I transitioned into managed care, where I spent almost 25 years conducting clinical reviews with psychiatric and substance abuse facilities nationwide, supporting treatment teams, and maintaining direct patient contact.

As a licensed clinical social worker, I specialize in helping adults, women, veterans, BIPOC, and military families navigate the emotional weight of anxiety, trauma, and burnout. My approach is warm, direct, and deeply collaborative — I believe therapy should feel like a safe conversation with someone who truly gets it.

I use evidence-based modalities such as🧠 Cognitive and Behavioral Therapies (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy-CBT); 🧘 Mindfulness and Acceptance-Based Therapies (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy-ACT); and ❤️ Relationship and Family Therapies (Family Systems Therapy). My desire is to help clients begin to heal at the root, not just manage symptoms. Together, we’ll uncover the patterns keeping you stuck and gently shift the beliefs that no longer serve you. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, confident, and emotionally free — not just in therapy, but in your everyday life.

I am a Compassionate Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) dedicated to helping people navigate their mental health journey. With nearly 20 years of global nursing experience providing both psychiatric and medical care across the lifespan, I offer a unique, holistic perspective on well-being. My approach centers on comprehensive psychiatric assessment, careful medication management, and expert crisis intervention. I’m passionate about building genuine therapeutic relationships, collaborating with other providers, and promoting evidence-based, patient-centered mental health care.

I’m an experienced mental health professional and leader with a strong background in therapy, behavioral health, and military family support. With over a decade of post-graduate experience, I’ve had the privilege of helping individuals, families, and service members navigate life’s challenges with compassion and professionalism. I combine clinical expertise with a warm, approachable style that fosters trust and collaboration.

I am a clinical psychologist with specialized training in trauma and relational modalities. We may be a good fit if you: • Value insight and depth. • Are curious about yourself and want to understand the "why". • Intuitively know that lasting change requires real work—and are ready for it.
