Hello!! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a Master's of Education in Counseling and Development, focusing on Marriage, Couples, and Family therapy.

I’m Elizabeth, a Filipina American Psychiatric‐Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and founder of Her Mind & Wellness. My practice is built on the belief that mental‐health care should feel human, culturally aware, and deeply supportive.

I believe healing happens when you feel seen, safe, and understood. My practice blends modern psychiatry with a nurturing, human approach — creating a space where you can breathe, reset, and rebuild your wellness with guidance that feels gentle, clear, and empowering.

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 an LGBTQIA Therapist in Houston, TX

Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Houston starts with looking for identity-affirming care. An affirming therapist may have experience with LGBTQIA+ identity, gender identity, family or relationship stress, trauma, anxiety, depression, or life transitions. Some therapists list affirmative therapy, WPATH training, gender-diverse experience, or work with LGBTQIA+ couples in their profiles. Reviewing those details can help you find someone whose training and listed focus areas match the care you want.

Houston has a large mental health community, which means there may be many options across neighborhoods like Montrose, Midtown, the Heights, and the Medical Center. That volume can make it harder to narrow your search. Consider whether you prefer in-person sessions near home, work, or school, or virtual appointments that expand access to affirming therapists across Texas. You can also compare appointment availability, therapist background, therapeutic approach, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Therapist bios can show how someone describes their style, the communities they work with, and what you can expect in a first session.

Therapy in Houston can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for LGBTQIA+ therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can filter by insurance, appointment type, availability, and specialty, making it easier to find a therapist who matches your needs, accepts your plan, and is ready to take new patients.
