Welcome. My name is Beatriz Alaniz or "Betty" and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas. I provide a warm and welcoming environment with a focus on individuals who have experienced trauma, losses, grief, and relationship woes seeking healing. I believe in people's capability to be resilient in the face of adversity. I will work with you to make sure you can see yourselves as the resilient individual you are.
With over 20 years as a counselor in an education setting and over 5 years as a Licensed Professional Counselor, I help people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and more. I recently retired from my education profession and now devote all my time to my counseling practice. My goal is to build a genuine connection and be someone you feel comfortable turning to as you move toward the life you want.
My individual work helps you build on your strengths while you gain a healthier perspective on what you may currently perceive as weaknesses. I want to help you understand and appreciate the unique combination of gifts you have to draw on. My goal is to help you find more meaningful and fulfilling ways to negotiate your life's path. I work with non-traditional individuals using traditional insight-oriented methods. Many of my clients are individuals in non-traditional jobs and/or relationships who want to look deeply into their own experiences.
My goal as a Psychologist and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist is to create a safe, affirming and collaborative space for individuals to explore the complexities of life. Therapy can be a daunting experience; therefore, I like to meet people where they are at in their therapy journey.
Hi! My name is Ryn and I'm excited to get to know you. My curious and warm personality encourage my clients to share and feel at ease during sessions. My focus is rapport buliding as a strong therapeutic relationship will set us up for success. The first session will lay the context for treatment and during, you will identify your goals of therapy. I use humor and a strengths based approach to care. I'm direct when needed and will meet you where you are emotionally.
Hi, I’m Alice! I’m a dually certified Nurse Practitioner who takes an open-minded, direct, and solution-oriented approach to care. I work with clients on both their mental health and overall well-being, and I believe in creating a safe, welcoming space where you can feel comfortable being yourself. Together, we’ll focus on finding practical steps and solutions that help you feel better and more in control of your life.


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.
Finding an LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist in Lubbock starts with identifying what you want to focus on in therapy. That might be anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, identity exploration, or experiences related to discrimination or family dynamics. Look for a licensed provider — such as an LPC, LCSW, psychologist, or psychiatrist — who has specific training or experience in LGBTQIA+-affirming care. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and whether they're a good match before you commit.
Lubbock has a smaller pool of affirming providers compared to larger Texas cities like Austin or Dallas, which can make the search feel limited. Virtual sessions expand your options significantly, connecting you with licensed providers across Texas who specialize in LGBTQIA+ mental health care. Whether you prefer in-person appointments in Lubbock or virtual visits from home, having both options makes it easier to find the right fit.
Therapy in Lubbock can be expensive without coverage, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before booking. 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 accepts your coverage.
