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. Therapy should feel like a safe, supportive space where you can show up exactly as you are. I am passionate about helping a broad spectrum of individuals and couples build healthier relationships, navigate life's many challenges, and building a connection with yourself through a compassionate, client-centered approach.
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.
I am a Doctor of Social Work and Licensed Clinical Social Worker with training in trauma-informed care. I support individuals in building self-determination and addressing maladaptive thought patterns that contribute to anxiety and depression.
Latosha Jackson is a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with over 16 years in mental health care. She has worked in inpatient settings, outpatient clinics, and substance use rehab. That breadth means she has met patients at every stage of recovery and is hard to surprise.
She earned her Doctorate of Nursing Practice at Chamberlain College of Nursing. She also holds dual master's degrees, one in Executive Nursing and one in Psychiatric Mental Health. That training shapes how she thinks about diagnosis and care today.

Hi! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with teens and young adults and families navigating anxiety, life transitions, and those “what am I doing with my life?” moments.

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just need someone to talk things through with, I’m here to support you. I also offer a bilingual and culturally aware space where you can show up fully as yourself.

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.
