Nestor Presas

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Dallas, TX


I strive for creating the conditions were humans can regain their curiosity, hope, and a new interactional perspective of themselves. Having also also known love, generosity, tolerance, respect and solidarity. I reject the need for cynicism: under the right conditions one can comfortably adhere to the unconditional confidence in the human potential for self-understanding, tolerance and positive change.

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 an LGBTQIA Therapist in Fort Worth, TX

Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Fort Worth starts with identity-affirming care. A strong fit may include experience with LGBTQIA+ identity, gender identity, coming out, relationship concerns, family dynamics, discrimination, anxiety, or depression. As you compare therapists, look for clear signals in their profiles, such as affirmative therapy, WPATH training, gender-diverse experience, or direct experience supporting LGBTQIA+ people. Finding an affirming therapist matters beyond clinical training — it can help you choose someone whose background matches the care you want.

Fort Worth has many therapists to compare across nearby neighborhoods and the broader Dallas-Fort Worth area, which can make it harder to narrow your search. Virtual therapy can also expand access to LGBTQIA+-affirming therapists, especially when local appointment times, commute, or office location limit your options. Beyond specialty, consider appointment availability, whether a therapist offers a free phone consultation, and whether their bio names LGBTQIA+ populations directly. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand a therapist’s approach, communication style, and experience with concerns that matter to you.

Therapy in Fort Worth can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before starting care. Headway helps you search for therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, verify insurance, and see your estimated cost before you book. From there, you can compare LGBTQIA+-affirming therapists in Fort Worth and book directly when you’re ready.
