Things have been hard lately, or maybe for a while. You aren't feeling like yourself and are wondering what needs to change to feel better. Maybe your mood feels out of whack, your attention or motivation is non-existent, or you're struggling just to do the normal everyday things without having a wave of emotion crashing down on you. Maybe there is trauma in your past you feel ready to process and move on from. Whatever the reason you are seeking help now, things can get better.

Herlinda Rodriguez

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


Hi, I’m Liz. I’m a bilingual therapist, and I feel most authentic when I can move naturally between both languages. I’m a Texan through and through, with plenty of Tex Mex Spanglish to show for it. I connect deeply with clients who are navigating family issues, generational trauma, cultural expectations, and the process of outgrowing beliefs or roles they were taught as children. I enjoy helping clients understand themselves better by exploring attachment patterns, nervous system responses, relationships, and the gap between who they were raised to be and who they are becoming. I have a heart for working with families, children, and parents because I believe it is easier to help children build healthier coping skills early than to wait until they are struggling later in life. I also find deep meaning in working with adults who are healing their inner child, breaking cycles, and learning how to live in a way that feels more honest and whole. My work often supports clients dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, stress management, parenting concerns, and life transitions.

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 a Therapist in Laredo

Finding the right LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist in Laredo starts with knowing what kind of support you need. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, identity-related stress, relationship concerns, or something else, a provider who understands and affirms your identity can make a meaningful difference. Look for a licensed therapist or psychiatrist — such as an LPC, LCSW, psychologist, or psychiatrist — who has specific experience with LGBTQIA+ mental health care.

Laredo is a close-knit border community, and finding a local provider who is both affirming and accepting new patients can take time. Virtual sessions expand your options by connecting you with licensed providers across Texas who specialize in LGBTQIA+-affirming care. On Headway, you can read detailed provider bios to learn about their approach, specialties, and what to expect before you book.

Therapy in Laredo can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before your first appointment, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find an affirming provider who fits your needs and your budget.
